For the most part I've been waking up each day since graduation dreading the inevitable boredom that will soon descend upon me. I've alternated between binge watching Netflix and packing up my room (which we are paying the movers to do anyway so I'm not sure why I bother)
Today, however, I made plans with my best friend, Matt! We decided to go get lunch and see a movie as a sort of last play-date before I move away.
Matt is now also a WAC Drama alum, and he's feeling the boredom as much as I am.
Check in for more on Matt next week for Man Crush Monday.
We ate a nice long lunch at Jarrettsville Creamery before catching the 2:50PM showing of Poltergeist in 3-D.
Nothing like watching a horror movie before you move. Most horror plots call for a happy American family moving into a creaky old house. Mayhem promptly follows. Poltergeist was no exception. Can't wait to move now! Apparently the new house is haunted, too haha. One of Mom's new parishiners took great delight in sharing that little nugget of info while we were there on Saturday taking measurements. According to her there have been several reports of the pervading scent of coffee with *gasp* no source. There have been worse hauntings, I think haha, I wonder what our spook will make of the Keurig... I'll keep y'all posted.
Anyway... Poltergeist. Don't see it. It wasn't scary. It wasn't even the fun kind of bad. (I get a huge kick out of laughably bad horror/thriller films.) The re-vamped take on the Speilberg classic was unnecessary, added nothing to the story, and cheapened the actual horror components expertly presented in the original to that of an uninspired videogame. Sam Rockwell was great, but overall this movie simply did not need to be re-made. Oh well. No regrets. Still an amazing day :)
