The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

  I saw a lot of things on Labor Day that
got me to thinking about that old movie
'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!"
 Seems there's plenty of each around
these parts.
  And I got a taste of each!
  Our friends had been raving about a
place called "Five Guys Burgers" since
they stopped at one in Florida earlier
this year. Little did I know we've had
one in Dickson City since 2005!
   We found it Monday and now
understand why our friends were
so enthusiastic about the franchise!
    It was really GOOD!
    Then there's the BAD! That came
in the form of the Labor Day rain
that dampened so many holiday
gatherings in our area.
    We had hoped to get family and
friends together at our camper for
the day. But while two is company
ten or more is a lot more than
just a crowd when they're all
trying to get inside to hide from the
showers!
 We, like many others, decided it
would be better to get out of the
rain by going inside a movie
theater.
   And that's where the  'UGLY'
comes in!
   I don't like movie reviews. Many
give away too much of the plot. And
many reviewers just look at things a
lot different than I.
  That said I must tell you that those
of us who went to see 'Apollo 18'
believe it may be one of the worst
movies we've ever seen!
  I was more sympathetic that my wife
and our friends. I believe it could
have been a good movie.....if......most
of what we saw was photographed in
a studio with actual movie cameras.
   One customer, who admitted to
blowing sixty dollars for his family's
tickets, popcorn, candy, and sodas,
suggested it might have been
filmed in some body's garage.
   We tried to warn another couple
who had just arrived for the next
screening. But they went in anyway.
    Hopefully they enjoyed the
previews and the warning to turn
off their cell phones. That's the best
they could hope for!
    Here's hoping you dodge the rain,
have some good food, stay away from
Apollo 18, and that all your NEWS
is good!
