Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen + My First "Concert"

Yesterday I went to see Transformers with my bros in the afternoon because we didn't want to repeat what happened last Tuesday with the Proposal. We also got there early to get good seats. Sure enough the theatre did eventually fill to almost the full capacity. There were more cinemas, three versus two for the Proposal so I don't think they sold out completely. Maybe the evening shows sold out though, who knows!

Transformers was pretty good...um...4/5 (same rating for I, Robot,l)...You know how some movies end so sudden and feel too short well Transformers was 'long enough'. It was 2.5 hrs long. I don't think it was excessively long but whenever I got the urge to speed it up, the movie went on. When it did end, I didn't get the feeling that I wanted "more". It took way too long for Sam to get that thingy-magigy into Optimus! There were a lot of explosions and special effects but nothing extremely exciting. I think it's missing that excitement or that feeling that of not wanting it to end...Does that makes sense? It's worth seeing but I think I would have found it kind of boring to watch this movie alone. I prefer something comical like the Proposal slightly better but once in a while, this was not so bad...still better than Wolverine.

The concert was a 'different experience', it was my first concert, I'll admit it :D I went with three friends from high school. It was part of a series of concerts part of the Winnipeg Jazz Festival even though they were rock bands playing and they were somewhat local bands. The venue was a decently sized pub and attendance was around 300 hundred but maybe the poor acoustics of the building made it difficult to understand what was being played/sung. All the sounds kind of mushed together and everything sounded similar, lol. We sat down at a table for the first band and we stood on the dance floor for the second. I bumped into a few people I knew from school so that was unexpected.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!
