Stepping back into the Blog, and the Upcoming Weekend!

February 5, 2009 by Joe 

underworldmarqueeI’m going to be trying to make like Viktor above and be aggresive on this blog again.  I’ve actually been looking to do a site re-design again, to make it easier to find articles here, and less complicated. I think I may have taken on a bit too much when I went with this design.  It’s nice, but then I tried to do too much customization and junk like that, and it’s just gotten messy.  Hopefully I find something soon so that you don’t have to go searching through my archives just for something to read!  Not that you wouldn’t be doing that anyway…

In any case, there’s been a lot going on, which is why I haven’t posted as much on this blog.  Frankly, I lost my passion for movies for a bit.  It’s been tough to keep up especially since the economy hit me at the theatre.  Nothing too bad, but it’s definitely eaten up a lot more of my time than I would like, and made it much more difficult to enjoy movies.  Hopping from building to building isn’t exactly the most fun thing to do in the world, and I’ve spent a lot of time on the road just to make ends meet.  I did manage to catch a couple movies, which I hope to update on soon.  I’m actually working on a review of Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, which, despite it’s faults, I enjoyed!

Hey… great news! It looks like the Superbowl didn’t take it’s toll on the box office… as much as it should have anyway.  A new record for box office grosses on Superbowl weekend was set this past weekend. (Source: IMDB)  Personally, the commercials at the superbowl are enough to make me stay away from the movies.  I enjoy watching football too, so that wouldn’t help.  I really want to organize a superbowl watching party at a theatre one day.  That’d be awesome if it were possible to get a license to do that.  I wonder if it is?

Lastly, let’s take a look at the movies that are coming out this weekend!  I’m going to keep this one quick, because it’s getting late.  This weekend, we’ve got Coraline, He’s Just Not that Into You, Pink Panther 2, and Push.  It actually looks like it could be a good weekend.  I want to see Coraline but only in 3-D.  I’ve found that new technology can make some movies better… an example is My Bloody Valentine.  Who would have thought that a slasher flick would be made better if it were in 3-D?  It’s also pretty deterrent towards people who are sneaking in.  Haha.. I saw someone do that, but they couldn’t watch the movie because they didn’t have the glasses to see it properly.  Idiots.

More soon!

    Hey!

    I really liked that last comment you made about trespassing moviegoers and movies in 3-D:). I agree with your decision about the design since the current layout is indeed rich and pleasing to the eye but not particularly user friendly and one kinda of gets lost in it sometimes. I am getting back to the hang of things with my own blog as well so I’ll be sure to check out what you are up to now and then.

    Take care dude!
