Wednesday was the return of the annual Young Variety Turkey Dinner and then Thursday I went to a screening of this terrible Russian funded and made movie. I mean it was so bad, I eventually had to get up and leave. The funny part of it, I was the 4th person to leave! There was nothing good about the film, absolutely nothing. Then on Saturday I went to my first video game premiere party for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2." It was a great time, live 80's cover band, ton of great food and just fun. I wish they would have handed out copies of the game but oh well.
At the movies:No surprise this weekend as the 5th and final chapter of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 takes the box office crown with a hefty 141.3 million but does fall short of its previous film. Holding ground at #2 is "Skyfall" with another 41.5 mil as it reaches 161 mil cume. Expanding at #3 is the epic bio-pic Lincoln as it pulls in a nice 21 million. Doing well at #4 is "Wreck-It Ralph" with another 18.3 mil as it passes the 100 mil cume with 121.5 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Flight" with 8.6 mil more.

The passing of an iconic company and its sweet treats ... not really. In the later half of the week, Hostess announced it would be closing its doors after over 100 years of doing business in the bakery field. About 3 years ago the company filed bankruptcy protection and recently went to battle against a Baker's Union strike which effected the whole company since there was no goods being made. Over the past decade the company had been suffering from loss of sales due to better competition and healthier trends in American diets. The confectionery is best known for its Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread products. Wonder Bread had been suffering long before and when the announcement was made it set the social media world on fire. It also started a mad rush to stores of people buying up all the boxes of Hostess foods as if the world was ending. What folks failed to realize, the goods that Hostess were creating will not go ahead. Just a day later, the company Bimbo announced it is in discussions to take over their operations and if all goes well, have the factory flowing sweets again within 2 weeks. Hostess has been struggling also with poor management and high pension costs it was a wonder it lasted this long.
