I'm just squirting with enthusiasm today
I did not do much this weekend due to an all-body achey poopy-spew-flu that required I be close to both a bed and a toilet, for different reasons. My figure is now just one degree closer to fabulous from the experience. I'm still pretty tired today, but able to be at work at least. I want soup.
I did manage to go see Fantastic Four with Gurl and the Gang. It wasn't as bad as everyone said it would be. Chris evans was either grinning hotly or hotly shirtless throughout much of the film, Jessica Alba wasn't that bad of an actress, and Michael Chiklis was dead-on as Ben Grimm. I was especially impressed with Chiklis' performance. The effects were fun, but Dr. Doom's character was fucked up and wrong. Doom is merely pure evil genius encased in armor plating, not a metallic mutant able to control electricity. The problem was that an entire kindgergarten class was invited to the matinee we attended, children who had to discuss every scene loudly. At Gallery Place, I am sticking with weeknights on non-opening weeks. No more weekends there, no more opening day/night/weekend shows. It's just too ghetto there.
Speaking of evil genius, this Tuesday at DC9 at 9pm is The Mesmers, featuring Fitz. This Sunday is Brickfest 2005 at George Mason University in Arlington, featuring Legos.

I dont think its ghetto there at all. Children will talk in a movie regardless of their class status. They were a tad distracting...but its not like that theater is Union Station or anything!
You just grumpy!
