We took the kids to see the "Transformers" movie on the Fourth.
Some people go on picnics on the Fourth of July, my family escaped to the confines of a super air-conditioned megaplex of theaters. (Nothing says "American" like an overpriced movie ticket, bladder-challenge sized Coke and a bucket of popcorn so large you could park a VW in it. Hold the butter, I have standards.) We were in good company, as we arrived an hour before our show was to begin, and only 78 seats were left in the theater.
It's not a good sign, my friends, when the line inside rivals a Disneyland line, and you are the lone adult with your merry band of children. Mr W was the player to be named later, "I'll meet you there, let me wrap this up" somehow becoming a plot to time his arrival to coincide with the beginning of the previews. No matter. The merry band stayed merry, close, and (miraculously) well-behaved.
The movie was fantastic. The special effects were good, the action was good...
I give it two thumbs up.

I have a very hard time going to movies...
I don't know if it is the price of the tickets...
The fact that I don't like people I don't know sitting next to me...
Or just the fact that I can't pause the movie when I have to pee - and because I have the bladder the size of a pea, I go often...
I rarely go... I know my hubby can't stand that too!!
I do want to see "Transformers"... as well as "Pirates"... the new Disney Rat movie... and "Harry Potter"...
So, I guess I better venture out ;)
Glad you had a great 4th...

We were at the movie's on the 4th too...and I saw the lines for Transformers! WOWZERS!!!! We opted for Evan Almighty, and I go for extra butter! Must be why your figure looks better than mine.
I enjoyed the Transformer movie too, except I went on Tuesday night and had to get there extra early to get a ticket and a decent seat. I didn't realize that it was such a big deal!

You've convinced me... I'm going to go see it ... if only for eye candy!
