Storming Behind

Wife on the Road With All her Aunts and Uncles

My wife finally gave up some photographic evidence of the fun she had over the past couple days hosting her mother, aunts and uncles at the condo. This qualifies as the first condo party of what I hope to be many over the coming years. That would include a number of my stateside friends who need to visit and sample the majesty of the beaches of Las Lajas – and the cheap beer.

The FBR was bound and determined last night to show me all the Halloween decorations she has created and emplaced over the past couple weeks. She charged around the house, too excited to speak cogently and she had a rapt grandfather audience for the entire tour. It’s nice to have her reaching the age where she can enjoy holiday related childhood excitement. It is also very cool for her grandfather who missed these times when my own children inevitably outgrew the selfsame excitement and became “too cool for school”. I can’t wait for Christmas this year! I also received evidence of the BRS’ continued development up in New Hampshire with a prominent baby bump manifesting itself with the ABFA. I can only imagine what Christmases in a couple years will be like.

A very rainy and windy dateless date night had me sitting down to see Geostorm. The latest in the genre where CGI artists get to wreak death and destruction over large parts of the globe fails on a number of levels. The two male leads struggle mightily to mask their British accents. Gerard Butler is the fiery inventor of the massive satellite system to control the weather that’s been hijacked by nefarious forces. His milksop of a brother recruits him to fix the problems before the earth is destroyed. The scenes up on the space station were passably enjoyable but unfortunately the filmmakers decided to invest in the very earth bound and patently ridiculous goings on earth side. Abbie Cornish dominates as a secret service agent but she was the only thing remotely entertaining during the all too much time spent on the groundside melodrama. Even the disaster scenes, while impressive, were more of the “seen that many times before” variety. A big miss for an obviously expensively made movie.

The Bad Cinema project count rises to #41 out of 100, with The Wild Women of Wongo, I’m not kidding it was actually called that!
