Ah-Earth, bEarthday, E-arth!

 
I do so love my A*List to have a side of science with it - so much more filling!
Yes, that's true, even when the science is actually science fiction.
Hence, the gobbledy goop as the post title!
All four of my movies this week were scifi, including the one at NCG.
I know, I know, my dance card up there only shows three suitors, but that's because I haven't yet gone to see "Elio".
That's not until 4 PM, but see it I shall.
It's important to my three-part theme this week, starring our third rock from the sun.
(smile!)
Those three movies are "Lilo & Stitch", "Sonic 3", and "Elio", none of which are first-timers in these dances with me.
It was my love of Elvis music that started off the theme.
I ventured out for "Lilo & Stitch" specifically to hear The King of Rock'n'Roll's voice.
Then I heard the science-minded geek in the cowboy outfit refer to this planet in the backwaters of the Milky Way Galaxy as "E-arth"...
and that was all it took to have me off and running!
(smile!)
I already knew which other two movies were needed for a trio, and all three were playing in cinemas this week!
I couldn't have done it like I wanted to without "Sonic 3" today, but this is the very week that NCG had it in their Summer Camp schedule.
Right time, right place!
I'm so glad that Laura's elder granddaughter was able to go with me.
She likes Jim Carrey, too, and had never seen this movie!
She has now!!! 
So Peyton saw the Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady celebrating Sonic's "bEarthday" with a banner, cake, and even a race to see if Knuckles or Tailz could beat him.
Hahahaha!
(smile!
Then, there's little Elio - that's pronounced "El eee oh", not "Eee lee oh" - an orphan who is now being raised by his paternal aunt. 
I really liked that she was in the military.
Still, the boy missed his parents and was sure they were out there in the stars somewhere, in a world that would welcome him, a world like CommUniverse!
They received his ham radio signal and fetched him there, too!
He was to be the Ambassador of ... then he stumbled with the name... "Ah-Earth"!
Priceless!
I'm looking forward to see this one more time at 4 PM.
(smile!
As for the other two movies, which are one and the same, it's the android's name that's been altered in spelling.
"M3GAN 2.0" is a much better movie than the first one was.
It's one of those science fiction flicks that's erroneously marketed as "horror".
That's a shame, because that error may steer away folks who would delight in this campy film with the clever puns and sentient robots.
I liked it so much that I was talking about it with Peyton and she wanted to see it!
I'm glad I was able to share that with her.
