Jul. 10th, 2008 09:39 amSo, my two days off have been good. Tuesday I went with my mom to see Iron Man in the morning (since we pretty much were the only two people who hadn't seen it yet) which was totally awesome, and then some friends came over at night. Wednesday Galaxy and I went to see Hancock which wasn't terrible, but it could have been a much better movie. It was almost like two different movies, and I liked the first movie much more, so I was disappointed by the shift. But whatever, it was free, and I've seen (and paid for) so many worse movies.
Oh, but the coolest part of Hancock (don't worry, not a spoiler) was when Charlize Theron's character wore a Macalester shirt! So random! So I was like to Galaxy "Someone on the movie probably went there, like the costume designer or something." But then when the credits were rolling, I saw that it was directed by Peter Berg, who I already mentioned is an alum from my school and actually spoke at graduation in May! So, mystery solved. But yeah, I found that super cool.
And now it's back to work. My friends were talking about trying to see The Dark Knight next Thursday at midnight, but I don't think I'll be able to go. =/ It would take at least half an hour to get from work to the Spectrum, if not longer, and for the past three weeks in a row, I've closed on Thursdays, which means getting out around 11-11:30. And the parking at the Spectrum is ridiculous, especially on the night of a huge movie premiering. So it would take like 20 minutes alone to park and walk to the theater. blah. Galaxy said she'd wait to see it with me, but it's like, I want to see it as soon as I can, so I'd really like to see the midnight showing. sigh. Well, I guess I'll wait to see my schedule today before getting upset about it. And it's quite possible that the midnight showing is already sold out, and I'm pretty sure no one's bought tickets yet, so maybe they won't go then anyways.
