I would absolutely pay money to see that. Especially if they played it totally straight.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I saw The Spy Who Dumped Me yesterday. It was fun. Not profound, but then it wasn't trying to be. There were explosions, the lead women kicked butt, the bit with the thumb was great, and I'll watch Kate McKinnon in anything but an Oliver Stone flick. I'd love to see a sequel, but as it's been out nearly a month without earning back production costs, that seems unlikely.

Saw BlacKkKlansman yesterday. It's very good. And yet another film where I didn't hate Adam Driver.
Personally, I don't think the coda was necessary (since I felt the link was made explicit throughout), but I suppose some people need to be hit over the head.

OK, I think they're going to find Captain America for real.

Our wings are not tired.
We go to the movies more frequently in the summer, mostly to support the lovely couple in a small town who renovated a small theater. It is hard to say if it is me or the 2018 crop of summer fare, but I have been underwhelmed. Granted I missed some that I feel would have been better than those we have seen so far.
Jurassic World - what I expected and enjoyable enough as such, but not any more than that.
Skyscraper - enjoyed more than expected probably because the crowd laughed so often at the absurdity making it more a OTT comedy. So fun when viewed as comedy.
Mama Mia - Um, I guess the scenery and music were okay.
Crazy Rich Asians - Disappointed because so many people loved it. I expected to enjoy it a lot more than I did. Yay for diversity, but I left feeling I didn't get to know any of the characters. It may have been better if I had read the book first.
Happytime Murders - Enjoyed the previews and was looking forward to it, then was let down. Yes, I laughed quite a few times. But the fuck count was probably over 500 and it wasn't required except to get the R rating, and I found it distracting. (Ha, I know my chrome extension would have fixed that!)
Sad making because I generally look forward to summer as being go to the actual theater season for me. In Florida during the winter I generally have to buy tickets in advance to get a decent seat, which is less convenient.

It's going to be cold and rainy here at the lake for the next two days so we're actually thinking of taking the kids into Sault Ste Marie to see Alpha. I don't have any interest but I think the kids will like it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I went to see Eighth Grade yesterday because it was going to be leaving my neighborhood indie theater this Friday. It was fucking amazing but I've never said out loud "OH NO" (interspersed with "oh HONEY, no") so many times during the span of a movie. Oh man. So much sympathetic cringing!
It also has a killer father-daughter scene that made me bawl like a little baby. Goodness, what a film *turtles self into a little ball*
Apparently parent-child relationships are gonna be my kryptonite this summer because I cried quite a bit during Crazy Rich Asians, too. Granted, I AM the target audience for that film. The Mahjong scene got to me in the major way. like, I totally burst into gross sobbing at "immigrant nobody" line, and was just flood-city all around when Rachel's mother stood up for her at the end of the scene.
