Movie time

Went with the future Mrs this morning to the movies. AMC has a deal on the weekends for $5 if you go before noon. She likes to movie hop, so we went and saw Stepbrothers and as soon as that ended, Dark Knight was starting in the room right next to where we were. The nice thing about going at that time is that there is nobody in the theaters. There were maybe 50 people in the Stepbrothers theater, and 20 people in the DK theater. Stepbrothers is pretty funny stuff. Just like any other Ferrell movie, if you're interested in a good story line, this movie isn't for you. If you want to go laugh your ass off, go see it. It is pretty vulgar, though, which as far as I know, is a first for WF. The F-bomb is dropped at least 50 times in this movie. And there may or may not be a scrotum scene. The weird part is that a lot of the funny lines from the trailers aren't even in the movie. But still, I'll give it 4 out of 5 helmet stickers, strictly for the hilarity that ensued.
Dark Knight, wow, I don't even know where to start. I'm not real big on comic book movies. And FMK doesn't really like them at all. But she walked out of this movie and her exact words were "Wow, that was freaking awesome". I don't know if I'm saying this because of all the hype around him and the fact that he's not here anymore, but Ledger was bigger than life. After seeing that performance, I really don't think there is anyone else that could have pulled off that character like he did. Christian Bale was alright, but as I've heard a few people say, what was up with his Batman voice? 4.75 out of 5 helmet stickers.
Funny story from the theater we saw Dark Knight. As I said, there were maybe 20 people in the theater. We were sitting towards the top, and there were two teenage girls sitting about 2-3 rows in front of us. Towards the middle of the movie, they started whispering to each other and laughing pretty loud. This went on for about 5 minutes. Finally I told them to shut it, and one of them looks back and starts mocking me by saying "shhhh" about 4 or 5 times. Apparently that was funny because they both started laughing at that. Then, so big lady that was sitting a little farther down, came up the steps and got in their face and told them to shut the hell up, and as she was walking back to her seat, the mouthy chick yelled out a spoiler for the movie, and then they both started laughing again. So the big lady walks out and gets someone from AMC to come in and points them out. The employee comes up and talks to them for a minute and they leave. That was the first time I've seen something like that in a movie, though.

Cubs fans are annoying

Went to the Dbags/Cubs game on Wednesday night. Holy crap, Cubs fans are annoying, but so are Dbags fans. Our seats were in the 7th row of the left field bleachers, and I sat next to the biggest douche ever. The promotion for the game was that they gave out a bingo card to a bunch of fans and in the squares there were scorecard items such as F-7, 3-6-3, HR, etc and you marked off ones on your card as they happened. Well the douche next to me had a cup of mustard and dipped his napkin into the mustard and marked the squares as they happened. WFT??? And he would yell out things like, "Hey Soriano, you need to back up and move more to the left", as he was pointing right with his hand. Everything he said had to be done at max volume, and there needed to be a comment for anything that happened. Then he started calling Doug Davis, "Nolan Davis", even though he was losing the game. Oh, and he got up to piss at least every inning, and he was probably 50 years old. All around cool guy. Except the exact opposite.
The kicker of the night happened before we even got there. We arrived at the game and sat in our seats in the top of the 2nd inning. In the first inning, Derrek Lee hit a HR, apparently. In his second at bat, I look on the scoreboard and it said his HR was to left field. So I say to FMK, "I wonder if it was hit near us". 5 minutes later she pokes me and tells me to look in the cupholder of the kid sitting right next to her. There was a baseball in the cup holder. Dude caught Lee's HR in our seats. Are you kidding me?? I am never late when it comes to sporting events. But today I didn't get out of work on time, then got stuck in traffic on the freeway, and we get there late and miss a HR that would have fell into our laps.
Cubs fans really are annoying, though. Let's Go Cubbies chants going on throughout the game. With FMK being from Chicago, I had to act like I thought it was cool. Then with the score 10-3 in the 8th, Dbags fans start leaving, and this dick Cubs fan in front of us asks them all "Where are you going? Sore losers!" Um, dude, your team lost 2 of 3 to a team that's currently 1 game under .500. STFU!!

Here's a pic of Soriano from the cell phone. I forgot my digital cam, too. I was not on the ball today. But Soriano was cool. He was "interacting" with the fans, posing for pics and stuff. If someone would call his name in between the action, he'd look over and wave. Seems like a good dude.
