I'm back from Vegas, where I had a lovely time and came home with money. But I also have seen four movies since I last posted, so you get to hear about those today as I have not uploaded any Vegas pictures yet.
Movie the first: The in-flight on our flight to Vegas was Raising Helen. During this film I ate a turkey sandwich with havarti on seven-grain bread. Included with the sandwich were some vegetables and packages of mustard and mayo, but the tomato looked off to me, and you know I despise wet food, so I just had the bread, meat, and cheese. Still a good sandwich for being on an airplane. I would say the same about the movie- good for being on a plane. Very predictable, but better than staring at the back of someone's head.
Movie the second: After a long day of gambling, Boyfriend and I needed food and relaxation. Making use of the amenities of the Star Trek Hilton, we ordered a salad, a sandwich, and The Day After Tomorrow. The salad was enormous. I ate a ton of it, but when I stopped after a half hour, it still appeared to be untouched. I don't get that- why do they give you huge portions of room service when your only option is to put the food out in the hallway to rot after you're done with it? What's the motivation behind trying to make a little girl eat a salad the size of her head and forcing her to throw away enough food to feed three more little girls? It was tempting to start knocking on people's doors to see if anyone wanted the rest. It was at least two more meals....
Anyway, if you like watching storms come in, you might like The Day After Tomorrow. I think it's a movie where I would watch the first hour again, just to see everything get crazy, but the actual problem solving caused me to lose interest and I wouldn't ever watch the second half again. Plus, the movie made us cold as we were watching people freeze the whole time. We're in Vegas, where it's 100 degrees, and we're wrapped in blankets with the heat on high.... Maybe you should also watch this movie if you're overheated.
Movie the Third: On the way home, we were given The Stepford Wives. I can't remember what the last movie I complained about bitterly was, but it was better than this garbage film. The only reason you should ever see this movie is if you're stuck in a metal flying tube and you forgot to bring something to read. Even then- you should seriously consider staring at the back of someone's head. We were in the front of the plane though, so that didn't work out. On the plus side, the turkey sandwich purchased during this flight was on sunflower seed bread, which was a nice touch.
Last movie: Last night we rented Runaway Jury. I think I'm unable to review it because after seeing The Stepford Wives, any movie was going to seem like the Best Movie Ever. Plus I didn't eat anything while we watched it, so what am I going to talk about anyway?
Coming soon: stories and photos from Vegas. Stories will be crashingly dull if you don't like to gamble, but still more interesting than me talking about sandwiches... (More interesting to you, I mean. I could talk about sandwiches all day.) |
