Village drive-in FTW!

I wanted to watch Twisters at the drive-in cinema, but it had just stopped playing there. Oh well. Our alternative film was Deadpool & Wolverine and that was a really fun watch too :)

Holiday transition movie

As is tradition since I was a teenager, I started off my big annual holiday with a big movie :)

Speaking of which, I really enjoyed Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. The team that made this film captured the scale, texture, and music of this universe as I imagined it to be. I’m quite impressed.

Drive-in movie during thunderstorm

There’s a first time for everything. Like today, when Nadia and I watched a movie at the Village Cinemas drive-in during a thunderstorm! Which is a lot less disruptive than you think it might be, by the way. As long as you’re not too fussed with watching a movie with the windshield wipers on :)

Also, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a fun movie.

Happy birthday Nadia!

Happy birthday Nadia!

I’m glad we could celebrate the day with flourless orange cake…

And with your very first drive-in cinema experience!

That too by watching E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which was fun trip down memory lane to the early 1980s :)
