I was just thinking the other day and I am not sure if I wrote this before or not but ... how to tell a good pizza. There are several factors that make a good pizza, naturally there is flavors, dough, and things like that but I think an important factor in an overall good pizza ... the next day. How good is the pizza not re-heated but simply put of the fridge cold? I was eating a really good Pizza Hut Meaty Stuffed Crust pizza the next day and it was REALLY good! In general I have found all the stuffed crust pizzas to be tasty the next day or the day after. I have had both Papa John's and Papa Murphy's the next day too. To begin with, Papa John's is barely a good pizza when fresh so the next day, not that great. It is hard to make a pizza bad in my opinion so longest comes into play to determine how good it can be and Papa John's is out. Papa Murphy's is fair the next day but not great. I would prefer to re-heat this one. Domino's recently has become very good the next day. Not as good as Pizza Hut but still pretty tasty. There are some small mom-and-pop type places but for the bigger chains, I think that covers it. So go Pizza Hut if you know you will have leftovers.Weekly Update:
The week was kind of tiring but the weekend was exhausting! I helped out with this little promotional shoot for a potential movie. What it really was is this guy got funding to shoot this movie idea and if the investors like it, then he will get the rest of the money to shoot the whole thing. Kind of an interesting idea but only if you have money to burn otherwise why do it? Honestly it isn't a good idea to invest or spend money, but again if you have it to burn then sure, why not. But if you are watching the dollars, there are other ways but this was basically three days of full blown production as if it was a real movie shoot. One cool thing about the filming though was one day of it was done at the Chiodo Brothers Studios. It was a very cool place, I was like a kid in a candy store. They are best known for creating the cult classic horror film "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" and doing all kinds of stop motion shorts and features. I actually got to sit and hang out with all three Chiodo brothers as well, incredibly cool guys.
At the movies:
No surprise at the box office this weekend as the 5th installment of the "Fast and the Furious" franchise lands #1 this week. Earning a hefty 83.6 million for its debut, Fast Five zooms way into the lead. Good hold on to 2nd place for its 3rd week is "Rio" with an additional 14.4 mil and now passes the 100 mil cume mark. Big drop (dollars) to #3 is "Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family" with another 10.1 mil. Slight drop down to #4 is "Water for Elephants" with another 9.1 mil. New at #5 is Disney's newest high school adventure Prom with only 5 mil, a really terrible showing for a Disney wide release.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one wide release that debuts at #6 is Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil which I originally thought was suppose to release almost two years ago. This little gem chimes in with only 4.1 mil and already about to hit the DVD market.

Other News:Well this has been on crazy week of news but I would have to say the biggest story is Terrorist Leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a firefight between US forces and his own Taliban. Credited for being the mastermind behind the World Trade Center attacks nearly 10 years ago, and now he was found and shot in the exchange of fire at his luxury hideout in Pakistan early Monday morning. Ending almost a decade long manhunt and I heard it was immediately buried at sea by the US Navy. They did not want him buried on land due to fears of his grave site being made into a terrorist shrine. Crowds across the world start to celebrate and cheer but this isn't really a time for that in my opinion. This is now a time to be vigilant and more alert as I am sure terrorist cells are preparing to retaliate and to show they are not dead along with their leader. I think a more important celebration is the lives we can remember from the 9-11 devastation rather than the killing of a man such as Bin Laden. It is a good thing that this person can do no more harm through his direct instructions but his cause is still strong and we have to be careful out there. Let's remember how we came together as a nation!
