Good for you GC!

And free food at the horribly over priced concession!

And, of course, Jesus' last name was not Christ. (For that matter, his first name wasn't Jesus.) I once directed a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and throughout that show, people call him Christ like it was a name, I guess making him the son of Joseph and Mary Christ.

On an unrelated note, Way To Go GC! That kind of "service" makes me crazy.

Great story, GC!

I could go into a rant about decaying customer service skills, but rather, I'll just say good for you for taking the time to bring this to their attention. Others would have given up or not bothered and that hurts everyone. You probably just made future customers experience there a little more pleasant.

Back to Dan Brown, I just finished another Dan Brown book called "Deception Point" and thought it was a fun read. This one focuses on NASA, no religion to be found for those turned off by that sort of thing.

GC rules. That guy deserved nothing less.

HeeeHeee, what a great way to get free popcorn!




aaaaand, with Da Vinci Code now in theaters, out of the Lounge this goes.

My wife and I took our kids to see "Over the Hedge" this afternoon after school (cute movie, by the way, with some funny stuff), but when we got there, the parking lot was beyond packed. This multiplex was showing it on four screens and pretty much everyone there without a kid was going to see it.

Seems like it's going to do really well at the box office regardless of the16% rotten tomatoes rating.

Great job, GC!

I was talking to Fej as he was trying to get out of the Spectrum parking garage. It was apparently PACKED!

Bob Mondello gave it a bad review today. :sigh:

Saw it today, unexpectedly, at the Arclight. Actually, in the Dome. Every showing was sold out. My friend Katherine had an extra ticket and invited me to go.

I enjoyed it.

So did Katherine.

You know how she makes her living? She writes films. The kind that actually get made.

Guess what? The movie is fiction, based on a book of fiction, inspired by a church whose teachings are largely fiction. Very entertaining.

By the way, the three protestors outsde the theatre were outnumbered by the five newsvans.
