I really wasn&#8217;t so keen on it at first, but after watching the previews I&#8217;m coming around.  I think it will be 10 times better than the first one.  Specially since this one is directed by the same director who did Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth (great movie).<\/p>\n<p>We originally decided to watch it at the Warren, even though it&#8217;s not in the balcony.  I was supposed to buy discounted tickets from Carly at work (we used our last four VIP passes when we treated Brian&#8217;s parents to Wanted a few weeks ago), but I have been so busy this week. Since I didn&#8217;t get discounted tickets, our backup plan was to just watch a mantinee.  However, matinees now cost $7.  Hardly a bargain.  I just can&#8217;t stomach paying full price for movies anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Our final plan was go to the drive-in where we can watch three movies for less than $20 (a much better value).  This time it would have been Hellboy II, Wanted, and Incredible Hulk.  We have seen the other two movies (Wanted and Incredible Hulk) already, but we wouldn&#8217;t mind watching them again for free.  The only problem is that we watch movies from the back of Brian&#8217;s truck and, with it being a rainy weekend, we are likely to get rained on.<\/p>\n<p>So we nixed the drive-in idea and we are back to the matinee idea.  It won&#8217;t be as much fun, but at least the sound and picture quality will be better.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, here are some pictures we took at the drive-in last week when we went to see Hancock, Get Smart, and You Don&#8217;t Mess with the Zohan.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640810410\/\"  title=\"0_200807051929_271.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3127\/2640810410_2d6301a368.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807051929_271.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640080855\/\"  title=\"0_200807052012_273.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3183\/2640080855_3b6d37f3d1.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052012_273.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640093001\/\"  title=\"0_200807052017_275.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3038\/2640093001_4549381d21.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052017_275.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640923188\/\"  title=\"0_200807052018_277.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3012\/2640923188_85f12b5655.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052018_277.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640101103\/\"  title=\"0_200807052021_279.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3142\/2640101103_9c30b4f3d8.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052021_279.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640929948\/\"  title=\"0_200807052022_280.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3093\/2640929948_889b0974d4.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052022_280.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640110181\/\"  title=\"0_200807052025_281.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3047\/2640110181_22b7946a4b.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052025_281.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640938820\/\"  title=\"0_200807052026_282.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3094\/2640938820_566c66f5f1.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052026_282.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640112189\/\"  title=\"0_200807052027_283.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3016\/2640112189_d624f60276.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052027_283.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640941496\/\"  title=\"0_200807052027_284.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3016\/2640941496_7ce305d820.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052027_284.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640115239\/\"  title=\"0_200807052028_285.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3092\/2640115239_38aba17f75.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052028_285.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640944064\/\"  title=\"0_200807052028_286.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3047\/2640944064_87f2448429.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052028_286.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2640951814\/\"  title=\"0_200807052032_287.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3123\/2640951814_7d549c5cd1.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052032_287.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2641090700\/\"  title=\"0_200807052131_288.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3167\/2641090700_c919b28486.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052131_288.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2641093306\/\"  title=\"0_200807052132_289.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3079\/2641093306_3ebfcc4417.jpg\" width=\"380\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"0_200807052132_289.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian and I were planning another trip to the drive-in tonight.
