happy 5th of july!

Did you all have a lovely 4th of July? I did! I love it when Jesse gets to stay home during the week. The only problem is he gets to witness first hand what a lazy bum I am. Oh well. We went to see Superman Returns at the IMAX theater. I really enjoyed it! It was deliciously cheesy in all the right places. There were some pretty heavy handed pro-Christian and anti-smoking moments but I didn't feel they were so obnoxious as to make me dislike the movie. Perhaps it wsa because they were so obvious that you would have to be retarded to miss them.

Speaking of retarded, I was pretty sure I was stuck sitting next to a retarded kid when I asked him if he was saving the seat next to him for anyone and received a blank stare in return. Perhaps he was trying to figure out how the Asian chick spoke English without an accent. Perhaps he was deaf and I am an asshole for not knowing American Sign Language. Or perhaps, as Jesse suggested, he thought I was retarded and didn't feel like talking to me. Whatever the case was, I sat next to him and didn't appear to take anyone's seat. A half hour into the movie I wished someone would come and take my seat. The kid and his friend talked through much of the movie. It is possible the kid never saw any of the Superman movies because his little friend explained everything to him. Every once in a while the adult they were with would "shhh" them but it didn't work very well. I was pretty annoyed but then felt really bad when the possibly retarded kid sitting next to me kept getting scared at the loud parts of the movies. Which I guess means he probably wasn't deaf. I "shhh"ed them a couple times but they didn't feel like listening to the retarded Korean lady and kept talking. Perhaps they thought I was "shhh"ing in a different language?

If you get a chance, go see the movie. If you get a chance to see it at the IMAX I recommend it. There are some 3D parts that are pretty cool. They were so cool that I got really sick even though I was wearing my little motion sickness magic bracelet. Yeah. Not a fun ride home or rest of the evening. Jesse asked if it was time to give up on the IMAX movies. Hell no! I love the IMAX movies. One of these days I'll figure out a way to enjoy them without feeling like puking. I think if I take Dramamine I will stay awake long enough to watch the movie and will just not plan any awake activities for the rest of the day (even the non-drowsy Dramamine makes me really really really sleepy). Or perhaps I will try one of those patches. Either way, I refuse to give up on the IMAX!!!
