bethje and I went into Philadelphia to volunteer at WHYY. We stuck bookplates in books for about an hour. There was supposed to be something else for us to do, but the printer apparently didn't finish printing whatever it was on time, so we left early.
Our plan was to go watch The Baxter at the Ritz after volunteering, but it was some time before the movie would start, so we had lunch at the Bourse. I had two slices of Sbarro's pizza, and Beth had chicken teriyaki and an assortment of sushi. Then we went over to the theater to watch the film. This was my first time seeing a movie at the Ritz, and I thought it was a pretty classy place. The seats reclined, and there was no sticky soda on the floor or anything.
As for the movie itself, I thought it was pretty good. Most of it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny, but it was clever, and a good idea for a movie. I liked how it all came full circle in the end. I guess I identified somewhat with Michael Showalter's character, too. Not so much in terms of the main plot thread (it's hard to be the Other Guy when you've only been in one relationship, and that one is with someone else who's never dated either), but just in some aspects of his personality.
At night, we watched Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. I thought it was pretty good, although it was rather disjointed, with some loose ends. They introduce this Druidic cult that's controlling Michael, and then they don't do much with it. There were also some moments where the voices didn't quite match the characters' lip movements, suggesting overdubbing or something. Beth thinks the messy parts might have been due to Donald Pleasence dying during the making of the film (if this did indeed happen).
We have Halloween: H2O on our Netflix queue, so I should soon be up to speed on the entire series. From what I understand, though, H2O totally disregards the plotline from the fourth through sixth movies.
