Chevelle Movies

· 🌡️ 66°F

So Last night I went to the Town Ballroom to see Chevelle, Finger Eleven and Sparta. I had a pretty good time. I had never heard of sparta and knew known of there music but I enjoyed there set. They where followed by finger eleven who I do know some of there stuff but not a lot and really enjoyed them. I thought Chevelle kicked ass. I don't know if you would really call it an encore but i think they did like 3 songs after they came back on stage. I really had a great time. It didn't hurt that there where some good looking girls near where I was watching the stage from. When I left I should have gone to Icon to see my cousin play. The only thing was that I didn't have enough funds to get home at that time and I didn't feel like I would want to walk at that time and I allready had a long day so I just went home.

Today's plan was going to go see Sherk the third or the New Pirates movie and then go on Elmwood around the Hoyt lake area and take pictures. But when I walked out after Shrek was over it wasn't that nice out (little wind and no sunshine) so I decided to see pirates and got in during the previews. One thing I will say is I'm glad I'm one of the people who likes to see where things are filmed the music or if there are any gags like fake or alterted credits often in comedy movies. Reason being is that there is more of the movie after the credits end. Overall I thought the action, acting and story was great. Visually it was very fun and I had a great time watching. But that being said I didn't find my self emotionaly attached to the characters. But maybe some of that is that it seems like I saw the second one a week ago. But most likely it was only last summer. I'm not saying I didn't like the characters at all, because I did. I don't know how to say what I mean really. Great movie. I also liked Shrek. I don't think that it was as funny as the two pervious ones but I still think it was pretty good. I like that they attack Fairy tales in it like in the previous ones. They even kinda attack plays or maybe even you could say broadway. As I'm watching the end credits I see that both Eric Idle and Jon Clesse did voices. I thought the one character was Jon's but I didn't know about Eric Idle. I wonder if it is because of "Search for the holy grail" and "Spamalot" or if it was just for their voice talents.

On sunday I'm going to see Godsmack at shea's that should be a great time. I'm not sure who the opening act is there was a contest to see who wins that spot and I'm not sure who won it. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and I hope I see a lot of you on friday night.

    Me and the woman stayed till the ending credits of Shrek long past the time that everyone else left the theatre. We thought "either we'll see something really cool at the end, a la Ferris Bueller, or we'll see nothing and be the biggest dorks out of the entire audience".

    Turns out that we were the biggest dorks, after all.

    Yeah I was kinda hoping they would do something funny at the end of the shrek but they didn't but it was worth it for Pirates or at least I thought it was. But I have to disagree with the being a dork thing. For example with Pirates... everyone left, I assume that the ending wasn't seen on line anywhere cause if it was you would stay and watch it on the big screen. So a lot of people didn't really see all of the movie. I have been to other movies where all most everyone stayed through the credits. So that would be an instance of people knowing that there was something after the credits. I admit I don't really know what a dork is but I say the people who leave before the credits end are the dorks. I will use other things as an example to compare movies to. When you see a play or musical after the performance everyone comes back out and bows and everyone claps or maybe if it sucked maybe the boo not sure. But the point is they are giving thanks and caring about the performers. In sports often the players salute the fans and the fans stick around. The best example I can think of is The Buffalo Bandits when they win a home game they run around the arena and tap the glass with there sticks there are some people who go over the glass (not really allowed and you will get pulled down) and the players slap hands with them. I do admit though why people don't care about who made the movie it would be like if after a concert the Roadies came out and wanted applause but now if they started to tell stories about the band then that would be different. I guess my best example would be if you where at a gallery looking at art you really liked and then an artist came out and started to explain to you personaly what the art was about or what it was a picture of and you walked away cause you only cared what it looked like.

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention on the way to the movies I saw this really cool looking car. It was one of those cars that look kinda like a box I think its called a Scion. But what made it so cool was the paint job. It was like white and blue streaks of lightning it really looked cool. I'm not sure why I didn't think to take a picture of it.

    I think Sparta is another incarnation of At the Drive In.
