I went to the movie theater and saw "The Little Things". It was staring Denzel Washington. The movie was about a search by detectives of a serial killer.



When I got to the end of the movie, I didn't understand the meaning of the red hair barrette. So when I left the movie theater, I asked a stranger leaving the theater what it meant. He explained it. He then said "maybe you were sleeping during that part because I heard someone snoring".

So in most murder mystery type films, all the pertinent facts are laid out in front of you in the film. But this movie was a little different because in real life, things are not all neat and tidy. Not everything is known. So I guess that was the intent of the film.

I was surprised that there were a lot more people in attendance at the matinee. At the beginning after they reopened from the lockdown, I was normally the only person in the theater. Today there was around 30 people. It rivaled the opening of Wonder Woman 84 in attendance. So I guess it is a sign that people are starting to stick their heads out to see the world again.

As I left the theater, the attendant said "be careful in going home". I walked outside and observed the makings of the start of a blizzard. There were several inches of snow on the ground that magically appeared (not forecasted) and it was coming down pretty hard. I had to drive 30 miles to get home.

So it was just me and my N95 and my snow tires.

Birds of Prey.
Very inventive and fun.

I watched the first five minutes of Tokyo Gore Police, purely due to my love of body horror and the promise of lots of that. It was... exactly what I expected from the name. Decided it wasn’t worth it.

octopussy. eye candy. surprisingly violent.

Orgazmo. (no it's not what you think. its a trey parker and matt stone vehicle.)

Casino Royale

Stargate.
Very good.

A few days ago I went to see "The Little Things" at the movie theater. I commented that it seems like the theater was more crowded than normal (during this pandemic). Well I guess the larger attendance was the case across the U.S.

The Denzel Washington-led thrilled "The Little Things" topped the U.S. box office over the weekend despite it being available to stream at home for HBO Max subscribers.

During its debut weekend, "The Little Things" scored an estimated $4.8 million from 2,171 locations throughout North America, according to Entertainment Weekly. Although the total earnings would represent a dismal showing in normal times, it’s actually a relatively impressive showing in the age of the coronavirus, which has forced many theaters to either close or operate at a limited capacity.

It also flies in the face of conventional wisdom that indicates audiences wouldn’t go see a movie in theaters if they can stream at home for a fee that’s lower than a ticket price in some parts of the country. Despite HBO Max adding the film to its roster of 2021 films that will release simultaneously in theaters and on streaming, one release location hasn’t really hurt the other.

The coronavirus pandemic caused the death of many small stores and even large chains of stores and restaurants. Many believe the movie theaters are doomed to the same fate. Well perhaps might be a bad assumption.

I watched A Goofy Movie for the first time in many years.

I really enjoyed it (just like I did when I was a kid), but I felt really bad for Goofy a lot of the time.
