My review of This Is The End...and some thoughts about going to a movie theater...

Okay, I saw This Is The End yesterday. Absolutely hilarious movie! The cast is awesome and the story is better than I was expecting it to be.

It's probably not for everybody. Believe me, you don't want to take your kids or anyone too prudish to see it. There's a lot of sex talk and drug references/usage in it.

Having said that, if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, you'll probably enjoy the movie a lot.

So...as for my thoughts on going to a movie theater...I love going. I love the experience of watching a movie, especially a comedy, with a lot of people. It's fun to hear all the various reactions to what's going on onscreen.

However...

One thing that bugged me yesterday was that during the previews, the theater must have put up about a dozen separate warnings to people about using their cell phones in the theater. I can dig that. I certainly don't want to hear people talking on their phones during the movie. I just thought it was a little extreme. One of the messages even said that they'd kick people out of the theater if they saw them texting on their phones.

Okay, a little extreme, but all good and well. But how about instead of a dozen messages about cell phones, they have a couple that tell people to SHUT THE HELL UP once the movie starts?

Really, I don't want to hear anyone talking - not even during the previews for other movies. I paid for the whole movie experience. I don't want to hear Billy Ray and Lulu sitting behind me talking about how great it is that Billy Ray, Jr. is going to be out of jail next week. I mean, sure, yay for Junior, but I don't really give a damn.

The Reason For The Lack Of Updates

Sorry. I was off on a Top Secret mission for the government. Spy shit. Can't really go into details.

Howevs (that's how the cool kids talk,) I'll be doing a posting tonight.

So, for all of you who visit here (that means you, Grandma) please check back again later this evening!

New name, new attitude, new stuff...and other things with the word "new" in front of them.

So, this place was called Buddy Gott's Writing And Reading Place. As any of you who are regular visitors here (all two of you) know, I've sucked at doing updates here.

Why is that? Well, I think part of the reason is that I didn't have much to say about my own writings. One book I had planned on writing and publishing didn't turn out to be what I wanted it to be, so I've put that one aside for now. I'm going to go back and rework it later this year, but I've moved on to other things.

My first published book will be I WAS A TEENAGE AMISH VAMPIRE and the plan is to have that out at either the end of this month or the beginning of April. It's pretty much done, but I've still got a little bit more to do on it before I send it off to my awesome editor.

But, I'm sort of straying from where I originally wanted to go here. Still with me? Cool. Thanks. My point of this posting is mainly to say that I want to get back to blogging on a regular basis. I decided to change the name of this place because I don't want to limit myself to postings just about writing and reading.

I want to be able to ramble on about whatever I want to. It may be about my books, music I like, my daily exercise routines, my incredible sex life, or about my lies about having exercise routines and an incredible sex life.

Whatever. That's the thing. It'll be a little bit about whatever I feel like at the time. My goal is to share some of my thoughts and hopefully share some laughs along the way. I'll be posting at least once a week, most likely on the weekends, but we'll see. I'm working on something that I'm going to put up either tonight or tomorrow.

In the mean time, and the not-so-mean time, thanks for stopping in! Have a great day. See ya soon!
