Well, I swore I wouldn’t set foot in Huntsville’s latest peoplequarium for at least six months, and I went today. Weak. So. Weak. Here’s my ear; pour in whatever you want me to “know,” market researchers. Oh look, they have gondola rides. Is that a Fossil store over there? Where can I get a latte? Oh my, isn’t the fountain exquisite? Num, num, num, num, num. Here’s my wallet. Please, put latex gloves on, at least.
Pathetic. But I’ll own it.
Dad and I both wanted to see I Am Legend, and it was on at the theater there, so it got the nod.
I must admit, it’s a nice place to see a movie. For $10, you get:
- A 75-foot screen with stellar projection and sound.
- Reserved luxury seating.
- No one under 21 admitted.
- Alcohol served.
It’s definitely where Lea and I will go the next time we have a date movie.
The movie was fine. I’d call it a good solid B to B+. I think I slightly prefer The Omega Man (based on the same novel).
The mental lapse of the afternoon was running into Brina Bat and Gray Bat and not thinking to take a photo with them. Duuhhhhh. They were as adorable and personable as you would imagine.
I feel so blessed that my father and I are genuine friends, who actually want to spend time together. Too many dads and sons don’t make it to here.

Gray Bat and I went with a few friends to go see the Golden Compass last week – in the evening its $12 – but the seats were SO nice.. and for special premieres and such – we’ll definitely go there too!!
I’m a goof also – I had a camera on me too! It was wonderful to see you and meet your nice dad! Hope to see you around again!
I took the kids to see Enchanted there last week or so. It was a Friday night and a jazz band was playing around the Christmas tree.
Just the fact that I no longer have to drive to Birmingham to get to the shops I love is the best perk for me. Seriously, that gives me about $20 more I can spend locally by not using it for gasoline!
Hey, did you see the “dress code?” No visible underwear, ha ha.
We’re going to see I Am Legend this afternoon. I’m glad you gave it a B grade – I’ve been nervous about some of the reviews I’ve heard.
I’m jealous of your relationship with your father. That’s the kind I’m hoping to cultivate with my daughters – once they get through puberty, of course…
‘seester: Sorry I missed that. I’d have taken a photo if I had seen it.
Mrs. Chili: What did you think of the movie?
Thanks for the good words on the movie. Just for the heck of it I watched Last Man on Earth this weekend. Was part of a 50 movie dvd collection I snagged off Amazon. (Also had Santa Claus Conquers the Martians)
