    i got transferred recently to a town that has a mall and a multi-screen movie theatre. prior to that i have not seen a current movie in a theatre in 5 or 6 years and those were cartoon type movies anyways. now i have seen 3 movies in the last 6 months and it is my new hobby.

    last night i saw spectre, the new james' bond movie. it was cool, the modern special effects and action these days just blows me away and a good but predictable story. it even had an evil bad guy with a massive remote high tech lair and a hot chick in a sheer dress. it wasn't anything special but a good movie anyways. the opening 'dancing girl' scenes were a little uncomfortable sitting next to my almost teenage son, but he sure did pay attention. rite of passage i guess. i hope that was computer animation because it would creep me out if i was a girl and an octopus crawled all over my boobage at strategic camera angles and timing. how do you train an octopus to do that anyways?

    Octopuses are very intelligent. He probably didn't need much training.

    I went to see "The Martian". Absolutely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It had some great characters, an excellent story, good humor, lots of suspense, and a great ending. Strongly recommended.

    i'll second that.

    awesome movie, wholesome and inspiring entertainment from start to finish. definately one of my favorite movies of my adult life. i liked the resolve he showed when faced with setbacks, and the twisted humor to deal with a tough situation. on the drive home my kid said "dad, i want to be a scientist". way cool, winner!

    the only other movie i saw in several years was jurassic world earlier this summer. whoa! it looked so real! when the dolby surround sound blurb came on at the start i was looking over my shoulder to see who was saying that behind me. we sat in like the fourth row and i lasted not even 5 minutes, way too in your face that close. we moved up about 2/3 of the way back and it was more tolerable then but i was still jumping in my seat at the exciting parts. during motorcycle shotgun scene i leaned over to my kid and said 'that guy is a badass!' then not a minute later one of the characters in the movie said exactly the same thing. man, they really pulled you in on that one. my heart was thumping for hours after that show, i had to take a hot bath and a few beers before i could relax enough to go to sleep. that was a good movie too, better than spectre.

    next we are going to see hunger games mockingjay 2, i loved the books and the movies were good too. nothing near as pivotal as the matrix series which is my all time best ever movie, but i like those kind of stories. also, i have a huge crush on katniss, huge. and it fits nicely with my healthy disrespect for authority.

    the only other movie i plan on seeing soon is the new star wars of course. the original was a watershed moment in my young life. off the charts, there was nothing like it before, it made me learn how to dream.

    the tickets are already sold out for the opener here weeks in advance which is a shame, because i hardly ever get to wear my wookie costume anymore except on halloween. but i make up for it by dressing like hans solo the rest of the year. da dah, da da da dah da, da da da dah da, da da da dah. may the force be with you. and carrie fisher ain't half bad neither. she was my make believe girlfriend for a looonngg time, way before internet dating was invented. i have had a thing for braids ever since, but i have never been able to convince anyone to wear a gold slave girl bikini. i'm still working on that part.
