The Beer: Wipeout IPA
The Place: Pizza Port
The Food: BBQ Chicken Pizza
And People: The Buffy Group aka Lazarus, Mildly, XERO & myself
Conversation: Spiderman 2 and all things comic related.

Let's begin! Great casting! Thanks to director Sam Raimi we had all SF type people involved. Ted Raimi (Joxer) and also to tie-in with Buffy, appears in The Grudge (not yet released with SMG), Daniel Dae Kim (B-5 Crusade), Donna Murphy (Picard's love in ST Insurrection), and of course all time fan fave - Bruce Campbell.

But really this movie belonged not to Spiderman or MJ but to Aunt May! She ruled with advice and a hard right hand hit. Also loved the news editor Jameson, and I even teared up for the sad love story of Peter and MJ. The opening credit animation sequence was pretty great but the end credits went by so fast I missed them. The movie stood out well on it's own with no loose strings. The end tied in nicely with the next one so we know what to expect.

The verdict? Go see it, you'll get your money's worth and it'll be #1 at the box office this week.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
