Summer is truly over (not officially) as the weather drops from 120 to the low 70's during the day, that is quiet a drop and well welcomed at that. Hot is hot but 120 is WAY hot!! I always say, I prefer cold over hot because its easier to warm yourself up then cool yourself down ... well for me anyway.Weekly Update:
This past week was pretty uneventful but also a very short week as last Monday was a holiday and I took the Tuesday off to avoid traffic and just worked from home. So just three days in the office ... it was niiiiiiiice.
At the movies:
Bang bang shoot it up western takes the box office crown this past summer weekend as 3:10 to Yuma earns a nice 14.1 million. Holding in at #2 is the "Halloween" remake with another 10 mil. The raunchy comedy of "Superbad" chimes in at #3 with another 8 mil and now over the 100 mil cume mark. Playing through at #4 is "Balls of Fury" earning an extra 5.7 mil more. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Bourne Ultimatum" with 5.5 mil and breaking the 200 mil cume.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Action was for the summer as Shoot 'em Up earns the #6 spot just missing the top 5 with 5.4 mil. At #22 in semi-wide release are The Brothers Solomon with only 525k to its name.
Comment Response:
None at this time.
Other News:The stage is quiet as the opera scene loses a renowned tenor. On Thursday morning the robust Luciano Pavarotti passed away after a year long battle with cancer. What made this singer so unique is he brought opera to the masses. It did not matter if you were an opera fan or not, you could still appreciate the energetic bellows of Pavarotti. If you did not know opera or singers, often his name was used to define and describe opera as a whole. He brought the art center stage for the world to appreciate regardless of personal taste. He will be missed and the stage goes quiet in a big way. He was 71 years old.
