Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

Today was a lazy kind of day, for once we really didn't have anything planned except a haircut for me and swim lessons for Penny. After those two things were done were were free to veg at the house. It's been a busy few weeks so it was nice to relax. In the afternoon we decided to get out of the house and take Penny to the movies. We went to see HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2, a stunning animated sequel to the first, which I worked on. It was weird to watch the movie as a customer and not as a person who worked on it.

Tonight my work girl friends and I are going to check out what seems like the biggest older chick flick of summer, Eat, Love, Pray! Did you read the book? I did and absolutely loved it. It brought out my inner journalist. Can't wait for the adventure to Italy, India and Indonesia! And I especially can't wait to see her eat her way through Italy. I am not sure about you but I was dying as Elizabeth Gilbert ate pounds upon pounds of pasta, pizza and gelato. Wouldn't it be so cool to just drop everything and roam the world for a year?

I am not sure about you but doesn't it seem like a dud of a summer for movies? Are people just sick of sequels that they are not going to the movies anymore? There hasn't really been any break out hits so far. Iron Man 2 and Shrek 4 have done over $200M but they didn't open to expectations. Robinhood, Prince of Persia, A-Team, and Sex In the City 2 performed well under expectations. Are the movies just boring, are people tired of sequels, or is it just too expensive? I'd be interested in hearing what you guys think. Here's hoping Toy Story 3 and Eclipse can revive the summer box office.

Go see Iron Man 2 this weekend!! Cuz the first blockbuster of the season is here. Happy summer, movie people....to my movie theatre peeps... You better pop a lot of popcorn and prep those nacho trays tonight cuz Tony Stark is gonna sell out!
