I decided to go see "Megamind" today. What a mistake. Not because of the movie itself, which I'll talk about in a separate post. Since today was Veterans Day the schools were closed. Since the schools were closed the multiplex was crowded. Lines at the box office. Lines at the concession stands. Loud, rambunctious children all over the place. And since I wasn't seeing something for a more mature audience, such as "Jackass 3D," many of those loud rambunctious children were in the theater seeing "Megamind." (Plus, instead of $5 movies all afternoon, they reverted to their weekend policy where only movies before noon are $5, and other afternoon movies are $7.50.)
In addition, the final trailer shown before the feature started was for the upcoming Justin Bieber movie, which seems to be some sort of concert/behind-the-scenes thing. It really frightened me. Then it got me thinking. This kid went from nothing to international heartthrob almost overnight. Does he have groupies? And if so, has he taken advantage of any of them? Has he, in fact, turned in his V card? With Kim Kardashian, maybe?
With that in mind, I've created my first poll for this blog. Exercise your right to vote on this very important question...
