Not pictured – going to see Doctor Strange this weekend. Amanda took Jack to see it the same morning and I totally regret it – it was a straight-up horror movie! I didn’t think they would let Sam Raimi go that deep. Jack is happy he saw it, despite feeling worse and worse as the day went on (he brought home a cold from Outdoor Lab. Several kids came back with covid, but Jack has had daily negative rapid tests since then and his PCR on day 4 came back negative too). Ben and I loved the movie. I wish we could have eaten dinner there too. Sigh, someday we’ll do a classic Marvel\/Alamo combo again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Ben came with me to watch a k-pop concert movie Seventeen: The Power of Love<\/a>. Now, the movie wasn’t anything weird. Normal performances and interview clips. But the theater didn’t have the subtitled version, so I had to use my weak Korean skills to figure out what they were saying. I was pleased to understand the gist most of the time! But the really weird part is that we saw it in 4DX at the Regal in Denver Pavilions. It’s a Korean movie tech usually used with action movies, like in this trailer<\/a>. But for our movie, the chairs were violently dancing in sync with the choreography. It was utterly bizarre. Tiring too! I was relieved every interview portion to take a break from gripping the armrests. I know the choreo really well, and I could tell someone put a lot of effort into replicating the movies through vibrations, rotations, tilts, and mechanical prodding. But. . . why? It was so distracting and odd. There were floral scents, mist, strobe lights, and bubbles too. It was the strangest thing I’ve done in a long time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
