The Projectionist for June 17, 2011 June 17, 2011

June 15, 2011

Hello there Mead-Berry,

Pam and I went to see X-Men: First Class last week and LOVED it. We had seen the movie X-Men a long time ago and then we really did not see the other films except Origins: Wolverine. We saw the early movie and then had dinner at the Chophouse. The next night we popped in the original movie again on the DVD player.  We hadn’t realized that the opening scenes of both movies were exactly the same. I don’t think I have ever seen that done before, but it was very cool.

The Little Projectionist will not kiss me unless I shave. He doesn’t like the beard. His sister couldn’t care less, but he has a real problem with it. I tried to look up on the Internet if this was a common issue, but couldn’t find anything. I think I may truly have a unique child.

This week, the cavalcade of super hero films continues with Green Lantern.  They are really starting to dig deep in the Marvel catalogue for these characters. I personally was a huge Captain America fan so I am saving my fan boy love for July 22^nd. Also opening this weekend is Jim Carrey in Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Real actors playing opposite animals seems to be a big draw for the under 10 crowd. My guess is that this film will do quite well. We still have Midnight in Paris so don’t forget to come see a real adult film before we get taken over again by Cars, Robots, and more talking animals.

Now your moment of zen:
