Yesterday was a day filled with movies. First, I went with the whole family to see Wall-E. I was surprised we went to the 5:05 and the theatre maybe had 15-20 people in it. I'll wait to write about my feelings on the film til you all have a chance to see it or until I can't figure out what to post one day and then it'll all just come pouring out.

Anyway after that movie my dad, Woie, and I headed over to the the Temple Theatre for the Saginaw Riverside Film Festival. They had a ton of films I wanted to see but the lack of money and the option of just renting the movies for free from Blockbuster Online won out. But my dad really wanted to go the main feature for Friday night. It was Mystery Science Theatre 3000: the movie. We grew up watching the tv show first on Comedy Central and then when it bounced to the Sci-Fi network. So it was really cool to see on a big screen and one of the creators came along to speak about show, his new book, and why Hollywood Sucks. 

Oh and I figured out that whole Starbucks Card. Toi had given me a Starbucks gift card for my birthday and I registered it online thinking I was doing all I needed to get secret cool stuff. But then I started noticing all these signs about benefits from the Starbucks Card and no matter how much coffee I bought during the last month I got nothing. So I went on their website and found out that you needed to register a second time in a special section. There you get to choose whether or not you'd like the wi-fi option which allows you 2 free hours of wi-fi daily in any Starbucks. Its all free as long as you use your Starbucks gift once a month. 

And then today my mom dragged me back to the movie theater where I saw Wanted. I liked it. Toi, if you ever need someone to play cat's cradle with, Morgan Freeman is pretty good at it. And its pretty hilarious to hear him say Motherfucker. I think that was the best part of the movie.
