Yesterday afternoon my wife and I got a chance to see THE movie…. it Kicks ---!!!! 
cool We drove 40miles to the theater, racing to get there by the 4:40pm showing, and although I don’t generally wear costumes in public (except Halloween) I did don my Big Daddy lid, and my wife borrowed our daughter’s Hit-Girl utility belt. On a side note, I got 2 large sodas; large popcorn and a Guinness: $14 plus $12 for both tickets! Not a bad price for such an awesome time. I got carded buying the Guinness, :lol funny thing is, I showed him my ID but never removed my cowl! There were only 3 other people in the theater, a dad with a 13 year old girl and a boy of maybe 8.:confused After the show we talked about it on the way to pick up my daughter and decided to take her to see it. My wife surprised me by saying “I’d go back tonight”. :cool So…we drove 40 miles back home, my daughter did a quick suit-up (no time for wig combing!), and we drove another 80 miles round trip to see the late show with her (she insisted on wearing her full costume the whole time even though it was over 80 deg F:love). Its’ the 1st time in my life I’ve ever seen a film in the theater twice in one day!thumbsup:thumbsup (I could have watched it a 3rd time) and its’ a good thing the theater was cheap, because the gas for 160 miles in a V8 truck put a big dent in my wallet.:lol
On the film: It was better than I expected and hoped for. I made a conscious effort not to get my hopes up, or expect more than some cool action and funny lines. It delivered all that and a whole lot more! The Col was awesome and JC did a great job in the role. I loved Dave busting Marty out at the JF meeting! :lol Mother Russia was a bit over the top, but I can live with that (she’s got to earn that 50K a week; plus expenses ). The movie had the “feel” of the 1st one but obviously they wanted to “out do” the action from the 1st film, (I went in expecting this) and they did. I really enjoyed Mindy dealing with the trials of High School peer pressure, and her “dance” routine.cool There was more actual story than I thought there would be, and I loved it! CMP was stellar as The MFer,:devil I hope everyone stayed until after the credits :lol. We were only a block away from the theater driving home and my daughter asked when the 3rd one is coming out!
I finally got a good look at NB’s outfit; I can start picking up the missing components for my wife’s costume now! I’m thinking of building a replica SIC stick, and definitely the “Last Resorts”. This Halloween is going to be cool!cool
When we stopped for gas on the way to the 2nd showing I put the JF on the back window of my truck. The whole way there she was trying to guess what it stood for! :lol After we left the theater I noticed she added her own graffiti.
