Because working in this condition is not possible

We have a date and time for THE MAY MOVIE. This year's MAY MOVIE is Iron Man 2. Trailers have been rather cracker-jack, I'm liking the inclusion of Sam Rockwell (all movies need more Sam Rockwell), and this could lead to the Marvel Movie Mash-Up of every fan's dreams. (Or nightmares.)

We'll be seeing this year's MAY MOVIE, which happens to be the tenth annual MAY MOVIE, May 7, 2010, at the AMC-Loews 34 Street theater (312 W34th St, between 8th and 9th avenues) at 7:45 pm. Please go pick up your tickets either at the theater or at Fandango.

Since the movie is so late, I figure we can go grab food before hand. There are at least two dinners in the area that are preferable to Tick-Tock. One is the Starlight Diner on 9th (I believe), the other is Andrew's Coffee Shop on 36th and 8th (again, not sure of exact coordinates, we'll work it out). If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. I figure if we get to dinner by about 5:30-ish, we can eat comfortably and then head to the theater to claim seats.

Did you see Moon? Highly recommended if you like Sam Rockwell. One of the best SF films I've seen in years.

It's on Netflix Watch Instantly for certain.

This is me we're talking about. I saw Moon in theaters, loved it to pieces. Sam Rockwell getting snubbed and failing to get any nominations for Moon is, like, a travesty.

THE TENTH?!!!!!! No way!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I know, right!? TEN YEARS.

2001: The Mummy Returns
2002: Spider-Man
2003: X-Men 2
2004: Van Helsing
2005: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
2006: Mission Impossible III
2007: Spider-Man 3
2008: Iron Man
2009: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
2010: Iron Man 2

I have trouble believing it, too!!!!

Hm, that list is almost perfectly split between AWESOME (Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men 2), rip-my-eyes-out-with-a-spoon AWFUL (Van Helsing, Spider-Man 3, Wolverine) and the rest, which I didn't see or was ho-hum about.

Also, 10 years means you must be close to 30 by now. Yay, you're catching up!!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You would focus on that!

It's amazing I came back after Van Helsing...

Looks like Nathan Fillion liked Iron Man 2, so I have high hopes.

::crosses fingers:: I hope that that overrides the bad reviews.

Thinking on Van Helsing still brings a tear to my eye, all these years later...

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

And see, I found Van Helsing stupidly delightful (despite not seeing it as a May movie). Medieval James Bond vs. Dracula vs. Wolfman vs. Frankenstein, plus not taking itself particularly seriously. What do you mean it's not awesome?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You know, I was thinking? I think you and viridian might be the only ones who went to all of these...

As we discovered at your birthday, jlc and I will be in Texas that weekend for Mother's Day and will treat my mom to Iron Man 2 for Mother's Day celebrating. :)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I hope she likes it! Sorry we'll miss you!

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

I think I'll be taking my mom to see it too :) We just watched the first one and she liked it.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh man, this movie had better be awesome, or I'll feel like I've let down a lot of mothers...

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

$14 on Fandango later, I have a ticket. Whoo.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

We're gonna party like it's Marvel 2099!

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I'm totally stealing that line.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Having never read the series in question, I have to wonder if that reflects good or bad taste.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

Count me as a maybe, to be updated after I check with my mom when she's coming in for Mother's Day. If she's not here Friday night, I'll get my ticket.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Mom is welcome to come, too. She wouldn't be the only mother seeing this as a Mother's Day celebration!

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

Mom may be welcome to, but she's not a fan of that kind of movie :)

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm in for 2, but probably neither of us will make dinner.

[kokoinai.livejournal.com]

I should be there (I'll admit I skipped last year because everything I saw about Wolverine convinced me I didn't want to see it).

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Let's hope that this year is more promising!
