So I went to the drive-in movie theater in Plymouth Indiana last night and saw Over the Hedge and Mission Impossible III for a total of $7. Not a bad deal, I must say. And the drive-in experience was kinda fun. They have speakers outside if you want to sit on blankets, or you can tune your car radio to a certain station for even better quality, depending on your car. Unfortunately, the drive-in theaters are sort of upset about this whole daylight savings time change thing, because all of a sudden they can’t start until 9:00 pm, and it was still too light outside. By 9:30 it was fine, but that meant that the 2nd movie didn’t end until 1:00 am.
So, M:I III…Good movie, overall. Way better than M:I II in any case, but that’s not saying much. The entire movie was a bit too action-packed and just another way for Tom Cruise to show off, but that’s to be expected. It had the usual plot twists that hardly count as “twists” anymore for M:I movies, and the fun gadgets, etc. Like everyone else, I liked the scene at the Vatican.
Over the Hedge was better. In the spirit of Ice Age, but with a more fun plotline and setting. Not a real thinker, but entertaining and humorous.
In other news, I’m moving into Carl’s room. He doesn’t know yet, but I’m pretty sure he won’t mind. And if he does, what’s he gonna do from 1000 miles away?

Eh, you can have the room (what’s wrong with yours, anyway?). But what are you doing with all our stuff that’s stored there?
MI3 - So do you think the “instant mask” gadget they use in the Vatican could really be built, or has been?

carl, we talked about that after the movie too. the actual shaping of the mask from the digital image part looked a bit too magical to convince me. how could it actually be that cleanly done? i suspect it could be done, but not as fast as they portrayed…
