Hopefully for those subject to the surcharge, the price will drop in the next 7 weeks. It is over $70 right now. Maybe after the Labor Day holiday it will go down.

We just got back from a block party hosted by our local police department. It was a fun time out. Elaine was a little foolish...her and our neighbor were acting like kids. I will post a few pictures in a sec.

We are getting ready to watch Knowing with our neighbors. I am pretty open minded, we shall see...

Based on your thoughts, I wrote the above.

I bet you didn't even notice my "Major Award" plugged into the wall. You have to have seen The Christmas Story to get that.

 

[captchris]

Okay, a few pictures from tonight.

First up, Elaine being silly with a soldier. He insisted she wear the helmet. I think she is ready for battle. What do you all think??

Next up is Jay on a police motorcycle...

And finally, Elaine just had to get on the motorcycle as well. Lately she has really been wanting to ride motorcycles. She has begged one of our neighbors to go on his, but hasn't been able to yet.

You got it. Scott got it for me for Christmas. That is my favorite Christmas movie.

 

[goofyfreak]

Chris, good pictures. It looks like you all had fun, especially Elaine.

Hey Chris. I saw the movie about a week or two. I'm sure that it had mixed reviews because I was pretty mixed about it myself. Sometimes I have to sit and ruminate about some movies before I really decide that I liked them or not. This one I'm still pretty undecided about.

You've probably already seen it by the time you read this because of CA time. Laura promptly fell asleep watching it so her vote is Boring! I watched it all the way through. Suspension of disbelief was very necessary as the premise of the catastrophe was pretty farfetched, that kind of destruction would be possible with a sun going supernova but not just sunspot activity. But, that aside, I thought that the resolution was open to interpetation. Those who believe in a Supreme Being will appreciate the fact that the ET's could have been heaven-sent while those who do not will merely think of them as ET's. Regardless, I'm not sure that the message was particularly Christian since Revelation tells of a much different scenario. But then again it wasn't particularly offensive either.

From a cinematographic standpoint, I didn't think that the film was anything too special. I thought that the director did do a good job of making the "visitors" fairly creepy but I thought that the mood wasn't quite relayed as well. I really liked how the mood in "The Sixth Sense" was conveyed. There was a funeral-like heaviness set across the entire film that matched the subject matter. In "Knowing" the mood was more of an action-adventure film which, to me, didn't fit the plot-line.

It was entertaining which is the purpose of a movie. I thought that I may get something out of it once I had chewed on it a bit but, it was pretty much as it was. Nothing real deep there. I'd Rate it a C+
