stepping out on amc with ncg

"What does that mean? Does the NCG Cinema have a special movie-goer's deal like AMC's A*List?"
 
It does not, but the dances over there have been much more enticing!
 
"What does that mean??"
 
AMC seems to expect me to keep doing the same few twirls over and over, week after week, without bringing in something new to tempt my tootsies. I guess they're trying to please the horror fans more than anyone else right now. I've only seen one movie with my A*List, and it, like the last two I had, aren't anything I care to ever repeat. However, NCG is more than willing to give me something that moves my groove thing! I was just there this morning, for the third time this week, and I most def danced!!! Ivan and Peyton didn't, but that was their choice.
 
"Oh, those are Laura's visiting grandkids, right?"
 
Correct! Today was the last Summer Camp flick, so they went to "Shrek The Third" with me. But they didn't dance during the end credits. I sure did! Gotta dance to Sly & The Family Stone!!! Ivan did shuffle a bit, but not her.
 
"Hey, she's 11, she's already 5'4", and she would terrify Sheldon Cooper with her pale skin and red hair combination. I'm sure she mostly tries not to draw attention to herself. Your dancing self probably had her trying to shrink out of sight!"
 
Yeah, I'm sure you're right... but I danced anyway! Then we three dined at Cici's. This is their last week in Savannah, so I wanted to spend a bit more time with them. Glad I did!
"So, what else have you seen at NCG?"
 
This was on Monday! I passed on Music Bingo to check out the $5 Mystery Movie, and I am so glad I did! It was one I've been looking forward to, called "Sketch", and it was fabulous!!! True, it was a little scary at first, but I hung in there, as did the kids in the audience, and we were all thrilled with the end!!!
 
"That's the one about the little girl whose mom died, right?"
 
Yes, that's right. The girl always loved drawing, but now her images have become monsters, not Butt-erflies. That was an inside joke with her mom, see?
 
"Oh, that's cute! And sad, too."
 
Right, it was both, a bittersweet concoction. I very much liked it and look forward to seeing it again.
 
"I'm sure you do! But you need to clarify something. You said you'd been over at NCG three days running, but you're missing Tina Tuesday."
 
It isn't missing, just not touched upon yet! Patience, dearie! I'd even asked Sandy to go with me for it, but she'd had a busy day and wasn't up for a 9:05 PM flick.
 
"That late?!"
 
The cinema only had two screenings a day of "Oh, Hi!" and I missed the matinee. Now worries, as this was 6-buck movie day there! I liked the premise, so I'd taken a chance... and I loved the movie! Very modern, very hip, thirty-something rom-com, with a side of bdsm thrown in for good measure - hahahaha!!! It must be a sleeper, 'cause the place should have been packed. As it was, I found out afterward that Linda G - the woman I used to volunteer at the Lucas with and who shows up at many of the same events I do - was sitting right behind me the whole time! I need to make it a point to get her phone number so we can maybe deliberately be at the same things.
 
"Yes, you should definitely do that. You have a gap in your social circle that needs filled, so just do it already!"
 
I will, I promise. (smile!) As for that movie, I can't say I know who Molly Gordon or Logan Lerman are, but they worked well off each other as the leads, 'Iris' and 'Isaac'. However, it's John Reynolds I want to see more of! He played the boyfriend of the bff of 'Iris' and I loved every minute of his screen time!!! He reminds me so much of Jason Segel, who I've loved for a couple of decades. I hope I can see Reynolds in something else soon!
 
"I hope you do, too. All of those actors seem to be hot in the streaming services. Maybe Peacock will pick up their series."
 
We'll see! Fingers crossed!
