Pam and I have seen five movies this summer. Didn't realize it was that many until we counted them up. We go the first four months (at least through April 15) without seeing any movies at theaters. So all five of these have been in the past six weeks or so.
- Shrek the Third. Pretty good. I'm afraid the whole Shrek thing may be losing its appeal for me. The first Shrek was great, the second one very good, this one...still plenty of laughs, but as if I was laughing at jokes I'd already heard.
- Oceans 13. Pretty good. Not as good as Oceans 11.
- Evan Almighty. Very good. We laughed a lot.
- Live Free or Die Hard. Very good. Of course, we're Die Hard fans, as well as Bruce Willis fans. And we love high body counts. And Justin Long is the Mac guy in the Mac/PC commercials, and we're most definitely Macintosh people. So of course we loved this movie.
- Transformers.Okay. We saw it this afternoon. Kinda cheesy, but some good action. If they do a sequel, I'll skip it.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I heard the PC guy on "This American Life" (NPR) somewhat recently (like this spring) talking about being a quasi-celebrity. He was really funny. You would like it.
