What is going on in the world ... too much! The Presidential race is on its way and it is overall pretty sad. Not even worth talking about to be honest ... so maybe a discussion for another time. But in general the weather has been very cool which is nice. I think last year around this time it felt like Summer so this is a nice change ... to be cold during Winter, imagine that! But I would like to spend time some place where it snows or there is snow on the ground. Maybe next year I will plan a getaway to the mountains or something, I miss it. I use to go with the family once a year or every other year with other relatives. They were all older than me and played board games but it was just nice being around and up in a cabin with snow outside for a week or weekend. I would like to do that again some time soon.
Weekly Update:This past Wednesday we had our annual Young Variety Pool Tournament and I could not believe it was the 10th Annual! Has it been so many and has this event been around that long? Kind of crazy to think about and in a blink of an eye, you are at 10. I think the last 7 we have had a good to fair celebrity turn out and this year continued with that small tradition with some familiar faces visiting and joining us. But we also had some new faces including some past and not so past Power Rangers. One person who I did not recognize and apparently a friend of one of our board members visited and took a quick picture with:
*Naomi Grossman - best known as Pepper in the TV series "American Horror Story" and incredibly nice.
At the movies:
For the third week in a row, "Deadpool" continues to rule the weekend with another 31.5 million and now just shy of 300 mil. It should have that by next weekend and carry on to around 350 mil domestic box office. New at #2 is Gods of Egypt with only 14 mil and around expectations. Word-of-mouth is below par on this one so it could be a quick burn. Holding on to #3 is "Kung Fu Panda 3" with another 9 mil and about 130 mil cume. Holding on to #4 is "Risen" with another 7 mil and quickly dropping. New at #5 is Eddie the Eagle with only 6.3 mil and below expectations. The story looks good but maybe just the wrong release date.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Triple 9 comes in at #6 with only 6.1 mil and pretty much at expectations. Not much on this film, should be out of theatres sooner than later.
