Memorial Day Edition

What is this day suppose to mean?  Its not about having an extra day off, its not about BBQ'ing and it's not about doing nothing.  But what it is about, all of those things and the freedom to do them because of our Veterans who served and are now serving today.  The risked their lives and time to ensure we are able to do the mundane things that honestly do not hod much meaning because what they do does.  So take a moment or several to just remember what you have is mostly because of them.

Weekly Update:
Pretty busy week but Thursday was exciting.  Attended the "Wonder Woman" premiere at the Pantages Theatre and played the publicist hat again.  It was an amazing event, WB does seem to do them right overall from their premieres to the Golden Globes.  And this was no exception or it was another example of how exceptional they are.  The movie was amazing, to me it brought DC and WB back in the super hero business when it comes to theatrical releases.  They have been wavering a lot but this brings them back on track.  I just hope the films to follow can keep up with this one.

*Jacqui-Lee Pryce - Niobe in the film and so amazingly sweet.
*Ewen Bremner - Charlie in the film and best know him from "Black Hawk Down," as well as being an all around great guy!
*Robin Wright - General Antiope and best known from "Forrest Gump," awesome person!

At the movies:
Ahoy matey's as the end of a franchise earns the chest of gold this holiday weekend!  New at #1 is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales earns 62.2 million.  Below expectations, especially for a holiday and could be a sign that this franchise is in fact done.  Holding its ground at #2 is "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" with another 19.9 mil while it continues its climb to try for that 1 billion world wide gross.  New at #3 is Baywatch with 18.1 mil and a very disappointing opening.  BIG drop to #4 is "Alien: Covenant" with 10.5 mil and may not hit 100 mil for this franchise film.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Everything, Everything" with 6.2 mil and should be dropping off next week.
