threesome

I'll wait while you dig your mind out of the gutter.

Hahahaha!!!

I'm talking about A*List movies, over at the AMC, taking advantage of this last warm day out of the next three or four.

Yesterday at that time was only 38 F, making me cancel my lab appointment at the Savannah VA.

Now, I have to wait almost two months for that.

Boo hiss.

I never left the house.

Not so today!

Time to get 'er done!

(smile!) 

By noon30, I was in the screening room for the first of three: "Dead Man's Wire".

A true story about a man driven to distraction by a mortgage company, I could relate.

I'd never heard of Tony Kiritsis, but that was in February 1977, when I was 18 years old and still in boot camp for the Navy.

Nor did I hear of the court case in October 1977, when I was going through "C" School in Pensacola for the Bullseye Computer Maintenance program.

It didn't help that the tale was local to Indianapolis.

I will say that Bill Skarsgard was excellent, as always.

I didn't even recognize Cary Elwes as his buddy, the undercover cop!

In my defense, I'd just seen him last Sunday in "The Princess Bride", where he was 38 years younger (than his current 63 years old). 

Great music in this film, and everything - even the film method - felt just like it had stepped out of the late 70's.

Kudos to Gus Van Sant and company!

 

After a walk, I had lunch at the cinema.

The manager, Trey, told me he "made them with love', and I truly believe he did!

Those pretzel bites were absolutely perfect - crispy on the outside, but not hard.

I saved a few to munch for my second movie, "Greenland 2: Migration".

That was at 3:30, which fit exactly with the time for Carolyn's first movie... the one I'd just seen.

I knew she'd seen the Gerard Butler post-apocalypse movie already, so I'd switched up on her.

See, I'd asked her to meet me for the 1977-era movie, but when I saw I could have a threesome today instead of a duo, I just had to do it, especially as I knew the foul cold weather on its way tomorrow.

"Chance of snow" - no, thanks!!!

Definite chance of black ice, with three mornings below freezing.

That, to me, is apocalyptic!

 

Anyway, when each of our movies were done, off to dinner she and I went to El Potro! 

I'd missed the Friday Fiesta with my brothers and she wanted flan - the choice was perfect!

We discussed our movies as we dined, then, back to AMC we went for the 7 PM show!

Yes, that would complete my trio and give her a double header! 

"Night Patrol" was very well attended, too!

I guess everyone likes a good vampire movie!

This was very good, too, with a group of racist cops cum vampires, who insert metal fangs when they're making a bust.

They're led by Dermot Mulroney, a police captain whose son has just been accepted to the 'elite' squad. 

Mind blown!!!

I last saw him in "My Best Friend's Wedding", which is almost thirty years old.

What a trip!

But here's a bigger one: the guy who his son is Justin Long, who I knew I recognized but I couldn't place him.

That's because I remember him as the nerdy kid that saved the spaceship in "Galaxy Quest" - which was in 1999, when he was only 21 years old.

Mind blown!!!

Carolyn and I both really liked the movie and will likely see it again.

It ain''t "Sinners", but it has some of that flavor, and that was mighty satisfying for both of us.

I'll have to mention it to the bfe, as he likes vampires.
