Wow, that was some marathon sleeping we did last night! Phew!
Happy Easter to everyone out there. Hope the ever-elusive bunny brought you loads of goodies. We got some Easter bunny marshmallows and gummy bears, very tasty!
Yesterday we went to see Clash of the Titans in 3D, bright & early to beat the crowd (and also to avoid the crazy new prices for 3D shows!). The movie is pretty good and is a nice action flick but not worth it to see it in 3D at all. There are only a handful of scenes that are actually in 3D, and none of them are as impressive as Avatar, not even close. Bottom line: Save a few extra dollars and see the regular 2D version. You won't be missing anything.

Glad April Fools' day is over! There were quite a few good jokes out there, and some were even funny. News was just a tad slower than usual, with people trying to avoid being confused for a possible practical joke or getting their thunder taken away by the loads of fake press releases. While we usually steer clear of anything suspicious, we did post the "
Bethesda Sells 'Fallout' Franchise Rights to Obsidian" yesterday because I thought it was just too well written, especially coming from a fan-run blog/forum.
The weekend is near, and "Clash of the Titans" is opening nationwide. The plan is to see it early Saturday morning, hopefully beating any sort of crowd that's flocking to the 3D theater. We're very excited!
