Update on Nom and Yap and Childhood Dinosaur Memories.
12 years ago
Well Its been a while my list has been up a week or 2 longer then I was expecting sadly mostly because I've been soooo busy with work and life but whatever ! *nods*
I have added up the total we have 10 pre sign ups which is great i'm really happy to see that. also it seems everyone pretty much wanted to go to the bistro place so that's where we will be heading this year for AC 2013. so get ready for what looks like cool comfort food and drinks though as with before though I may not need to mention it I still will. if you choose to have some drinks please drink responsibly all I ask. don't want to have our first nom and yap at that place be our last and all that :P *laughs* sadly a number of the gang from last year won't be able to make it and I asked some new folks including some artists and they all told me they wouldn't be going to AC this year so ahhh poop.
well with the numbers I have now I plan to try and find a means to give up a call to the Bistro and ask how the policy works for having a gang of us coming down would work. I don't know if I need to make a reservation or not but hey *shrugs* so i'll let you all know how it goes.
now for some childhood memories... and made did it make me smile like I never would have guessed!
Friday evening after I ran out of work and did my hour bus ride home I snuck up to the big theatre mounted in the mall near my house. the place is called Scotia bank theatres used be called Silvercity and its in West Edmonton Mall. anyway this last Friday was the release screening of the 20th anniversary 3d digitally remastered JURRASSIC PARK! oh and I ran up to the theatre as I really really REALLY was hoping to get a seat... to my amazement within 3 minutes of me being in the line for the last screening of the night the Imax went from 'lots of seats' to 'low seats' and I just... JUST barely snuck in a spot the guy at the till sold me a ticket I don't know if I should have had (he gave me a wheelchair assistant seat *shrugs*) and let me go. now... oh my god... I may have been off to the far left and had to turn to look at the center of the screen but watching that movie... in the Imax.. with all the systems in that place oh it was amazing.. every time the T-rex boomed her way onto the screen the seats would vibrate due to the bass hitting you... the roar made ya wince... the fauna sometimes looked like it was peeling into the theatre on the very edges (made me happy to see even that little bit of '3d effect' considering I remember old school 3d and all the new rendition of 3d effects don't do that lately or at least rarely!)
Anyway... I felt like a Kitten again watching that movie... like I hadn't seen it before, I didn't know the jokes I didn't know who was gonna make it I don't know how as I remember watching that movie in the projectatist booth of an older theatre when I was young and my Mother had me sit up there and watch the movies until she was done so we could go home.
I laughed at all the jokes no matter how bad they were, I cheered on the actors mentally when they escaped harm barely I did all that... *sighs* I only wish I could have stayed to see if they added anything at the end of the credits but the theatre was closing up (nearly 1 am when the movie got out) and I didn't feel like I should hold them back or anything but wow... it was SOOOOOO good *smiles widely*
the other big shock I got about the redone came from that nights manager! I ran into him on the way out and talked for a bit about seeing it when I was young and at the other theatre with my mum who was an employee of his back then as well and then he told me that made my eyes go wide... I never would have guessed but he told me that the Jurassic Park movie was the only one for the WHOLE BLOODY DAY that pretty much sold out its tickets for every seat for every screening of the day...
just goes to show... you can touch it up, redo some sounds, add a little to the scenes here or there and despite all the little things it is still such an amazing movie it can still kick the ruddy ass of all the new hash coming out of Hollywood these days. heheh good old JP T-rex... showing the world for a second time... she's the biggest bad ass bitch on the silver screen and you just can't top her!

P.s. if its still out... I don't know it maybe a short run ... GO SEE IT if you haven't yet... :3 loved it then... loved it now *nods*
