June gloom ... I love it! What does it mean? Basically when we have constant over cast (or marine layer of clouds) throughout the day in the month of June. I think it has something to do with the weather fronts and forming an excess of clouds that cover the southland. Why do I love it? So far this June it has kept us pretty cool. With the sun blocked, I think it would have been much warmer than it is by at least 10 degrees. We did have one day which was pretty humid but otherwise, very nice weather! Probably hanging in the mid to low 70's which is great. Despite little to know sun, it has been great weather to spend outside.Weekly Update:
Kind of a cool week, had a bunch of meetings but that wasn't the cool part. On Monday I saw in the first recording session for the upcoming "Kung Fu Panda 3" movie. No official title so it will just be known as KFP3 till they get going and the film isn't due out till December of 2015!!!! So we have to wait a whole year and a half (at least) till we see the finished product. The storyboards looked amazing and I can't wait to see it already! DreamWorks in general has really stepped it up with solid story telling. The Animation was always there (for the most part) but a lot of times the stories were not that strong ... 90% commercial and 10% heart. Now it seems there is a shift the other way, perhaps to stay on par with Pixar and Disney? I don't know but they are getting pretty good though.
At the movies:Cue John Williams music score ... the reboot of the classic "Superman" franchise Man of Steel opens to fly away with the box office on a 125.1 million cume. Word-of-mouth is very strong on this one and this reboot looks to be a SUPER success! Coming in at #2 with a two-day jump on the weekend (Wednesday opening) is the comedy This Is The End with an all star comedy cast playing themselves earning a decent 32.8 mil for the 5-day. Slight drop to #3 is "Now You See Me" with another 10.3 mil as it approaches the 100 mil cume mark. Hanging on to #4 is "Fast & Furious 6" with 9.4 mil as it races past 200 mil cume. Rounding off the top 5 with a big drop is "The Purge" with another 8.2 mil
