Plans for Today

Our plans are to go to the movies and see Hellboy.

Keep your fingers crossed for us, that we actually make it there.

ADDENDUM the First:
20 minutes of commercials and previews. Grr. Though at $5.75 for a ticket, guess I can’t complain that much.

It was fun.

We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, especially since there were only a handful of other people in the theater, so we had the WHOLE ROW to ourselves AND no one sat in front of us! WHEEEE!!!!

I think it was comparable to the first, in that it didn’t take itself at all seriously and was silly in all the right places. I could have done without the singing, but hey, nothing’s perfect.

As usual, my favorite parts were the fight scenes. The guy who played the elf was very good, and I liked how his extra abilities made him seem even less human, even though they were things you see in all the fun kung fu movies.

So my opinion? Fun!

And very different from Iron Man, which we saw last weekend, which I also liked a lot, but in a very different way.

    confirm which theater you’re going to so I can call them and buy the tickets (that I owe you.)

    (send an email in case I don’t check back here in time.)

    Let us know what you think of it…It is on the list of “might see” for the summer.

  3. Nathan Says:

    Well…how was it? And for those of you who missed it, I missed paying for this one, but I get to pay for next weekend’s movie. I’ll be hoping to have paid for the one Michelle and Michael enjoy more.

    I was just getting ready to update!

    $5.75? Holy Crap! For that price I’ll spring for Grandma if you like? (And if this is your ‘getting off on your own’ time, no need to feel obligated.

    But $5.75? It’s $11.50 here.

  6. Michelle Says:

    The matinee was $11.50 for the two of us.

    Evening shows are of course more expensive, unless we go to the second run theater downtown, which is $4.00 any show, any time, unless it’s a free kids show. Which I would avoid like the plague.

    And Grandmom won’t go to the movies. We’ve tried repeatedly to convince her to go. No dice.

    $5.75? Seriously? Crap, I’m moving to West (by God) Virginia.

    I can’t even buy a gallon of gas for that here.

    Gas was under $4 this weekend, for the Mountainfest. :)
