Let’s all go to the movies

I read in The Kansas City Star that this Saturday, September 3rd, is National Cinema Day and it was also mentioned in several national media sources, including Entertainment Weekly. I’m hoping to take in at least one movie on Saturday, even if that means I record my beloved Buckeyes as Notre Dame plays at Ohio State to kick off the College Football season.

Looking at AMC Barrywoods down the street from me, there’s something for almost everyone:

1. Cartoons like Minions: The Rise of Gru, DC League of Super Pets, or Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
2. Marvel movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home or Thor: Love & Thunder
3. Action films with big name starts like BulletTrain (Pitt) or Top Gun: Maverick (Cruise)
4. Action films with non-human creatures like Beast, Jurassic World Dominion or JAWS (1975)
5. A movie about a musician: Elvis
6. A movie based on a book: Where the Crawdads Sing
7. Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul (with one of the stars of This is Us)
8. and the ever popular much, much more

So start off the three-day holiday weekend by going to the movies (although if you could leave a spot for me, that would be great) and then turn on football to join me in rooting against the Fighting Irish.

Then on Tuesday, it’s back to work.
