"Meet the Robinsons"

Last night we went to see "Meet the Robinsons" at a new theater in our mall. The best part of the whole experience was handing over the 4 certificates I had received from purchasing food I'd buy anyway at Safeway, and thus saving $37.50 on all four of us going to the movie (it was an evening showing and the price was higher because it was a 3D theater). You gotta love being able to work the system like that.

As for the movie - it's not worth $37.50, but perhaps matinee prices. I was very impressed with the 3D effect. Certainly not the red and blue celophane glasses of our youth. It was of the same caliber as the showings in Disneyland. The movie had a great message, with great themes. And, any time our son leaves the theater begging to buy the DVD, we know it's a hit with him.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone, I really need to get my act together and get myself, the kids, and the house put together before church..... I'm still just feeling a bit zapped.

P.S. Happy April Fools Day - the lame efforts at teasing and tricking one another are in full force around here...

So is the movie a 3D or is the new theater a 3D?
See....you were going to get your house in order before going to church, along with the family! And you wrote this at 9am. That is really cool! I'm going to be asking for daily plans soon.

One of the theaters in the cinema has a 3D reel which projects the image 3D.

Yes, thanks to John's champion efforts, we did get the house put back together before church, which helped me feel much better. If he hadn't iniated the effort, I don't think it wouldn't have gotten done. Now, if I can just get the laundry sorted and put away before school starts tomorrow......
