New Leader ...

The long trip is at an end.  Lots was seen, travel was far and fun had by all.   Although this was my third trip to Colorado in the past year, it never fails to disappoint.  I keep thinking that there will be a repeat but yet again, this trip was entirely new.  Not sure I can keep up the pace of going twice a year, but if I do ... something will need to be done about Nebraska and Iowa, lol.

Folks continue to flock to the theaters this summer which brings smiles all around.  I like the movie houses and really don't want to see them go.  New technology and other forms of entertainment continue to threaten their existence.  Now, a new pricing system where you pay based off the budget sounds horrendous has been proposed recently.  However as I ponder what will be my next viewing, happiness fills me knowing that there is a place still to see it.  Inspired, who is up for a movie?

People came out in masses this past weekend supporting those very such movie houses.  In fact this past weekend was the second highest on record for the summer.  Only a weekend with the debut of Iron Man was able to draw more.  However, maybe it is the wide variety which has enticed movie patrons from all over to be drawn to the theater.

What did this mean for our league?  A new leader has emerged!  Brett was dethroned this past weekend (but for how long).  John has taken over the top spot with the success of Monsters University and World War Z (but for how long).  Ned continues to climb entering the top five for the first time this season (but for how long).  Colleen continues to perch on top of The Others just in front of Jeff.

Out this week is The Heat and White House Down.  Two movies that could be perceived to be built around marketing as oppose to story.  Here is hoping it's the latter.  Also coming out is Copperhead, a movie about the Civil War and one in which I will be sure to see.  Finally, The Secret Disco Revolution hits theaters.  I told you Disco was still alive.
