It has been a little while since I made any blogs here
since the COVID 19 pandemic came on. Just like everyone else, I switched up
priorities in order to ensure the safety of the family for work and at home.
Anyways, vacation for me started this week and I thought it was a good time to
start getting onto the yard work and preparing the movie screen for Dead
End Cinema, now while we are all still on social distancing, Dead
End Cinema will still be open for our usual number of friends and the family that come out to watch movies with us, we normally have around 5 to 8
people on average.
It has been a couple years since we applied any new coat of
paint, Last year the old tarp had a hole in it and the water ran down the side
giving it a big stain in the upper right corner, not that it affected anything
we watched last year but a good coat of paint is needed to preserve the wood
anyways. We can thank Angie for a job well done!

Waiting for Sundown... |
Thursday, May 27th marks a special day, it is our 25th
anniversary! I have been lucky to have Angie, a very special woman in my life
and we look forward to many more years together! Now that I got all that softy
stuff out of the way... I started the morning finishing up whatever yard work
that needed to be done. I am like it was so beautiful outside, I check the
weather report and it says the rain was coming in the next few days starting
around 2:00 a.m. so I'm like "Okay, I'm going to play a movie outside
tonight" When the Babesweets came home, I told her I'm taking her out for
dinner, We decided to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Campesinos,
Yum!

Now, I have read on various social media platforms about this movie, VFW,
so we decided to go up to my local Family Video to look for it, lo and behold
they had one copy! With all the excitement building up, we hurry back home
setting up everything outside and preparing for our first night of the year
under the stars starting with this movie. 9:00 pm rolled around and it
is dark enough to begin the film. The three of us Angie, me, and my son JD
were so ready to enjoy the evening!

Opening title on the screen... |
VFW - Here we have some old war veterans who get together to
do the normal drinking and reminiscing of old times and war tales at the VFW
club and suddenly, a teen runs into their bar being chased down by punks doped
up with a drug called "Hype" under orders of a drug overlord to
retrieve the teen, but these veterans weren't having any of that and decided to
fight back and protect the teen... All hell breaks loose! This is all I need to
say! I recommend this film, I will be buying my own personal copy. Nuff' said.
I kept this synapse short and sweet as to not give away any spoilers. Mr.
Fright says, Go check it out! With the film being over and it's still nice
outside, The little lady needed to go off to bed since she has to work. JD and
I decided to play Rocky 3 since he has not seen all of the Rocky movies. We've
been watching those and for me, a revisit is always good. Dead End
Cinema has an opening night on Saturday, June 13th for everyone. We
have not picked out any of the movies yet, Just stay tuned to our page on
Facebook for updates.
