Back in Atlanta

So I got back to Atlanta Friday night. I would like to say that I am never again flying American Airlines. Why? 2 hour and 15 minute delay. Upon landing captain has the audacity to say “Well at least it was same day service.” Whatever. Then when I get inside Hartsfield Jackson to get my suitcase, the front pocket of it was ripped all the way open. I go to say something about it to the baggage people and they’re all, if its not part of the main compartment we won’t do anything about it. So basically all the pockets of your suitcase can be shredded, handle broken, wheels pulled off, etc, so long as the main compartment of your suitcase isn’t damaged, they consider themselves not liable. Screw you American Airlines. I may be an insignificant nobody to you but I will feel much better giving my dollars to another airline, thank you very much.

Oh, horror of horrors, I left my camera in the cab in New York. *sigh* No that’s not sarcasm, that is true dismay I am conveying in my words. Even though it wasn’t a digital camera, it was my baby. It was a 16th birthday present from my dad and now I have zero camera. I can’t tell you how much that sucks. *sigh again*

Anyhow, I went to see Failure to Launch yesterday. It had its funny parts but overall it was pretty cheesy and poorly edited. Now I’m no movie critic but I have to say, when I can tell where they combined different takes on more than one occasion, there is a problem.

A comment on movie theatres while I’m on the subject. The MPAA is very adamant that illegal sharing of movies is what is causing the decline in movie ticket sales. I submit that the decline of ticket sales is twofold. First, the price of tickets is ridiculous. No way should a matinee ticket cost $6.75. A former coworker of mine said that he rarely takes his family to the movies because the total cost would exceed $100. Secondly, the choices as the concession stand are equally ludicrous. Back in the 50’s popcorn and soft drinks may have been ground breaking. However in 2006, I would rather not spend $20 on stale popcorn and flat Sprite. Frankly, the new offerings (nachos, pretzels, etc) leave much to be desired as well. How about offering some healthier fare? Soy chips maybe? Odwalla or Naked juices? All natural candy? I mean offer me something I’d WANT to eat rather than making me sneak in my food. Gotta love the oversized purses for that.

Well those are my ramblings for the moment. Have a wonderful week folks.
