Big green = big green
So, the green ogre movie was a whopping success, setting a record for the best 3-day opening ever for an animated feature, and coming in 3rd on the all-time list (behind Pirates 2 and Spider-Man 3). Who says audiences are fed up with sequels?? Well, everyone at work is upbeat about it, and we even got an extension of our holiday weekend, which I appreciate. Saw it again, with some civilians, and it was fun to see people getting into it, but... eh. I doubt it'll carry on much, with Pirates opening next week, and 3 more family flix opening in the next few weeks.
Nicole has moved back in with us for the summer (it's great to have her in the house, feels like family), so I had to cram everything in the back room, now I'll have to reorganize. Long weekend for that... and getting more songs and clips put together to bring back with me to Michigan when we go, next weekend! Coming up fast. I'll post more details about that, on the trip, even. We managed to wrap the shooting on the room in time for Bonnie's mother to come visit, it was nice having her around, and on Mother's Day no less! On the short film front, the stuff in the room is not quite half the total, but there are some complicated FX stuff to work out, and rebuilding some sets... Tom & Garth did a genius bit of set dressing - flat panels w/ contact paper, we painted on that to grunge it up, then mounted it in front of the real walls. Looked great, too.
Got my car broken into... sucks. They targeted my Hybrid for the paperwork allowing it to ride in the carpool lane. Not much else was taken - sunglasses, gum, they left most of the change and audio cables in there. And no damage to the car, as far as I can tell - they didn't really 'break' in. I'd like to believe it was just a notion of someone that walked by, and not some prowler. The cops were friendly, if ineffective, as I'm sure most of these cases go. Still, sucks that it happened, and it's not something you want to have happen in your neighborhood.
Well, next post should be about our trip!
