Bmovies celebration day 3 - Fly back

Today was the last day of the event. It was rainy and semi cold. The investor was flying back at 2 and we had the option to fly back with him. Travis and I jumped on it and flew back. We watched about 30 minutes of the first movie of the day, Robot, it was extremely strange and in Indian, not subtitled.


We got to the airport and instantly felt baller. The plane and pilot were waiting on us. Threw our bags on the plane and headed out. I sat upfront with the pilot, which was awesome.

Bmoveis celebration day 2

Day 2 at the theater. Checked out the scream queen competition which was pretty funny then the movies started. Saw Pig which was really good. Killer Clowns from Outer Space was the feature of the show and the 3 brother directors where on the scene. Travis and I talked to them about printing shirts. Could be a interesting opportunity.

Bmovies celebration in Franklin Indiana.

Today the DMGx crew headed to Franklin Indiana for the Bmovies Celebration in which our site bmovies.com was sponsoring. Wade, his son Stanton, Travis and I all went. We were meeting up with the primary investor to check things out.

We arrived in Franklin pretty early and since we planned to stay to watch the 12pm showing of The Night of The Comet we headed to the bar. It was a cool, laid back little town and everyone their was really nice. Their drinks were shockingly cheap for being just a few miles south on Indianapolis. They did have a issue with judging good pizza. We ate at 2 places that had "the best pizza in town." Neither were very good.

Our all access pass.

About to watch our first movie

2 Year Anniversary!

Mary and I went to see Cars 2 and had dinner at the Melting Pot for our anni! Had a great time and look forward to many many more!!

Heater out again... movie with mom

Apparently we have the worse heating unit known to mankind. It died almost exactly one year ago (1/8/10). We had a limiter switch go bad, the fan motor had a broken motor mount, and that cause the fan to bend. All where replaced, the motor mount broke last time aswell. So this is our third fan motor! It's like we have a whole new unit.

Later in the day mom came over to watch Stone with me. Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich are all in it. It was a strange movie with one of those you decide what happened endings. I enjoyed it.

Movie night

Travis and I headed downtown around 2:45 to catch Tron at 4:10. We tried to meet up with Ben and his folks to say hi but just missed them since they were on their way to catch True Grit at 2:55. We had a tad bit of shopping to do so as we sat at the bar we discussed the options. Well, Ben called and the movie was at 2:25 not 2:55 so they would stop by. They swung in and we had yet to be severed. They were on their way to the old city so we decided to walk down to Mast General.

We did our thing and then headed over to Bliss. After Bliss we were walking to the car and past Latitude 35 and remembered we had a gift card and 2 free beers there. What the heck, food, beers and shots at L35! Well after the fun we discovered the card didn't work. We when running out of time as it was 4:05 and we needed to drop off our things at the car and run by the bank. ROR paid for lunch and we headed. The card thing was fixed btw, so now we can try again. I took the things to the car and T went to the bank, it was closed.

We made our way to the theater and crossed paths with Brandon and Will. They were seeing True Grit at 5 and meeting Justin at DTG. We deciding to hang with them and just see True Grit instead. We went to DTG for a beer, met up with Justin then headed to the movie.

We sat on the front row so to have the metal bar foot rests. I receive a heyTell from Ben that I can't understand, strange. Then I get a text from him, "same aisle to your left!" I turn my head and there sits Ben and his folks! HA! I jump the rail and go have a chat, Allison was joining them too!

The previews start and in walks Allison, she has to walk right by us. Of course a yell, "Allison!" She jumps a tad and gives me a smile, "You scared the crap out of me, haha!"

The movie was just great! I really didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed it. Bridges did and awesome job as well as Damon. Hailee Steinfeld was the show stealer. She did an amazing job! Won't be surprised to see her pick up some other big roles. Looking forward to see what awards this film wins!

Movie night

Movie night once again! Travis and I headed to DTBG for the usually dirty blonde and liquid cocaine. Had a nice talk with a lady that worked for Groupon, from Chicago and she gave us coupons! Tab out and headed to the theater.

We were seeing Due Date. Scored a free popcorn with regal rewards! The movie was pretty good, about what I thought it would be. I didn't think it was as funny as it could of been and not anywhere close to the laugh level of The Hangover. I did enjoy.

After we stopped in Sapphire to chill with Ms. Jackson. After a Car Bomb she introduced us to Kracken Rum. Taste like a better Sailor Jerry's which is Captain Morgan like. It was good, she left us the bottle, which she has done before. Easily the best/coolest bartender I've had. We also found out her last name really isn't Jackson. I was a tad shocked, we had been there several times before. I guess we finally climbed that trust hill, haha. She also made us REAL Fireballs. With all this craze about Fireball whiskey she was frustrated hers was falling off. It was really good and we will be getting them again!

We headed home and made a run by Taco Bell. Lauren was home sick and was hungry. We got to T's house and pounded my volcano tacos and headed home.

Movie night

Travis, Ben, Matt and I went to see Jackass 3D. We meet up at DTBG for the usually beers and shots. Matt had just gotten back from California so it was good to see him. He is actually now planning on moving out there. Can't remember the city but it's about 2 hours north of San Fran.

Off to the movie. First off, 11.50$ for a 3D movie is nutty! You'd think it's cause you get the little glasses. Nope, you give those back at the end. Not to mention the whole movie isn't in 3D. The 3D experience was cool but I could of done without it.

The movie was as expected. Laughing at people doing stupid things, getting grossed out by people doing gross things. My favorite was the Rocky. Shown in super slow-mo. Someone sneaks up behind an unsuspecting person throw a cup of water in the there face, and coming around from the other side with a sucker punch with a boxing glove. It was quite hilarious. All-in-all it was exactly what I expected but was still entertaining.

Neat glasses eh? haha

Movie night

Ben, Travis and I meet up to see Red downtown. We did our usual thing. Beers and shots are Downtown Grill first, 40 minutes before the movie. I hadn't eaten all day so Travis and I ordered some food, Dave's (the bestest pasta ever!) pasta, 30 minutes. They brought out the wrong pasta, Dan's, so it went back, 15 minutes. 5 minutes before we are chowing down on the piping hot deliciousness. Down the beers and off we go.

We get the normal awesome seats at the rail after missing maybe one preview. 30 minutes in I have to use the bathroom as does Ben, plus I had just received a call from Mark at Fastech confirming my car was done and a final pricetag, whoa!

It began clear that I had drunk to much and the movie wasn't grabbing me. The first portion was entertaining but the middle trailed off and became boring. Maybe it was just me? Maybe the beer? Maybe the movie? Not sure which but I think a second viewing is in order. Ben and Travis later confirmed the movie wasn't all that in their opinions either.

After Ben and I headed to Latitude 35 for some beers and baseball. Phils played the Giants, game 4 in San Fran. Sore subject: Phils lost a horrible game in which they should of won. Lost on a sacrifice fly too, lame!

Wednesday!

So last Wednesday Travis and I had planned to go see The Town at 4:10. We had a photoshoot at 1:30. We get there and they are saying they are hoping to get us out of there by 5. Great, no movie that day. So I swear to him we'll go next Wednesday. After a great weekend of baseball and the post season starting I failed to realize the Phils game was at 5 on Wednesday. Halladays first post season game! I keep my promise to Travis and go to the movie with the DVR set to record the game.

That morning to text everyone to not text me about the game. In the movie I look at my watch right at 5:10, probably first couple of pitches thrown. After the movie we headed to the Brewery for some drinks but ended up at Sapphire due to the crowd. I get a text from Jason and notice it has Phils at the end so Travis reads it and texts him back that I haven't watched it yet. Later Jason calls me to apologize. I still didn't know what exactly happened so I'm good. 10 minutes later Ben calls and I'm thinking he is off work and can come join us. "Congrats on the no hitter dude!" First thing he says. Deflated! Really?! did i miss... no!! I told Ben the situation and was very apologetic.

Once home I made it through about 7 innings before passing out. Woke up at 1am on the couch, with all the lights off. Headed to bed and woke up at 6:30am ready to finish the game. Halladay was just nasty! He missed the perfect game by one pitch, on a 3 - 2 walk. Second post season no hitter in history in his first post season game! Something like 18 first pitch strikes and was ahead in the count more often than not. I'm just really hoping Oswalt and Hamels can follow suit and roast them. The Reds have an extra day to think about and let it screw up there thought process. Can't wait for game two Friday night!

Back to the movie. It was really good, very impressed by good ol' Ben.

Movie night and bad sports news...

Travis and I had our movie night last night and chose Salt. The movie was at 4 so we missed the first few minutes due to arriving late at the bar for our normal liquid cocaine and white mule.

The movie overall was pretty good. It did a very good job of keeping me entertained and guessing what was going to happen next. The plot line was unique and things had to develop quite a bit before I could on.

My problems with it were the little things that go unanswered like the director is thinking, eehhh the audience isn't paying attention so jump! An example, she is hiding out in a taxi after busting out of a building followed by pursuers, no shoes, no purse just a phone. Next cut she is on the street looking at her destination. How did she pay for the taxi ride? Little things like that show that its just a movie and the writers, directors and producers don't care. Haha, really not a big deal but... Next was leaving it open for a sequel. Just doesn't seem like the story line was built up enough for me to enjoy a 2nd one. I mean it wasn't a Borne movie.


After leaving the movie I had to check if rumors had come to light. Unfortunately they had! The Braves acquired Derek Lee from the Cubs. He will replace Troy Glaus at first while Glaus goes on the DL . Glaus will more than likely rehab in the minors then come back to the Braves at his original position, 3rd base.

This puts them in a very good position after losing Chipper. They are going to very hard to catch and extremely hard to beat in the post-season.

Interesting tidbit. The Braves start a series with the Cubs on Friday. That should be interesting!

Hope the Phils have their dancing shoes on cause this is going to be quite a show.

Valkyrie

My dad got a few tickets to the sneak preview of Valkyrie which was last night. Mom, dad, Carolyn, Paul, Dale, Mary and I all went. We ate at the Downtown Grill and Brewery before the movie and got done right in time. We showed up at the theater about 45 minutes before start time and there were quite a few people in line already.

They made a HUGE stink over having a phone with a camera on it. I found it to be funny, someone must of been doing it and was caught. Maybe Regal has made some threats. Enjoying the occasional GOOD bootleg I can say, you'd have to pay me good money to get me to watch a whole movie recorded with a camera phone. The most popular process is called TS (Telesync) and takes quite a bit of work from what I have heard. Besides knowing someone at a theater, one would have to get a nice, expensive setup (camera and tripod at least) to match the few I have seen. Some even plug directly into the projector to get audio. Knowing this, it just makes me laugh at both sides, the folks enforcing camera phones need to be off or the kid, "Dude I got Valkyrie on my phone...well not all of it just half cause I ran out of space...and you once you get over the motion sickness you can almost tell it's Tom Cruise!"

To the movie. It's based on a true story and I'm not a huge history buff or anything but I do know that Hitler was not killed by any overthrowers, he killed himself. So this tells me the ending, give or take. I also was expecting tons of subtitles seeing how it's about "Hilter's" Germany and all, but nope apparently when Hilter has hangin' with his buds or taking care of internal stuff he spoke perfect english. I was also suprised to see Eddie Lizzard had a roll. I will say it had some intense momments, but for some reason I expected more action. Tad on the boring side and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but prehaps watching it on a raining day on USA, as long as Saving Private Ryan isn't on another channel.
