Movies in Dayton, Ohio

My best friend Brian is in Dayton, Ohio this week for a radio convention. He comes annual to help a buddy of his set up their booth, buy stuff, and hang out with like-minded ham radio folks. The convention doesn't start up until tomorrow and Brian got there on Tuesday evening, so I skipped softball and drove up after work yesterday to have dinner with him.

We finished up an early dinner and debated about what to do the rest of the day. We decided to hit "Captain America: Civil War." I'd seen it, but Brian had not. The theater had those big, comfy reclining seats, which was GREAT! The movie moves so quickly that the 2.5 hour flick flies by without noticing. After the movie, I drove back to Cincinnati.

I took today off to drive up to have lunch with Brian again. We hit some neat comic book/gaming stores followed by the movie "Zootopia". The movie is about a female bunny who joins the police force in an animal world. Animals are either former predators (lions, tigers, bears -- oh my) or former prey (bunnies, sheep, shrews). Police officers are generally the predator types, so when the bunny joins the force, she's the first bunny officer ever. It's an incredibly good movie, with some good messages, and exciting moments. I forgot it was even a Disney flick to be honest.

It's been a good couple of days, and my new car is a lot of fun on the road, but I'm dreading work tomorrow though. Luckily the weekend is looming.

I haven't seen the first movie yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed "Zootopia" with its unexpectedly strong message!

I haven't seen Captain America: Civil War, yet. At the rate we see movies, it'll probably be anywhere from 1-3 years from now. *wink*

It sounds like you had a good time.

If only the weekends didn't fly by so quickly...

I'm glad the new car is working out for you!

Captain America:CW was a really good flick; it didn't feel like 2.5 hours at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed Zootopia. There were quite a few tired cliches that it deftly sidestepped, which made me happy.
