Michael & I saw the 11am showing of 'Terminator Salvation', which I liked. There were parts that were less engaging than others, but there was a lot that worked, and as a big fan of the series there was a lot to enjoy, and references to all 3 previous entries, while bringing enough new material to set it apart. The film explains how John (from the pre-title sequence in T2) got his scar. The photograph was back, as were cameos by Sarah Connor (voice only) and Terminator model 101. My only complaint is a minor one, relating to Linda Hamilton's altered dialogue that I can rationalize if I try. I've heard they intended this to be the first of a new trilogy, and I've heard the ideas for the 5th one, which I seriously hope never sees the light of day. I'd much rather they close it down with a single final film that wraps up all the plot threads and sets up the first 3 films.

With the 3 movies I've seen this year, I've now seen 3 of the 4 Terminator movies in theaters; 6 of the 11 Star Trek films, and all of the X-Men movies.

Michael dropped me off after the movie; he has to go home, get ready and go to work. Mark is either at work or will be soon. I'm home alone, feeling pretty exhausted. My back and my neck are still bothering me. Not sure if I mentioned previously, that my back was getting better, but I think I hurt it the other day when shifting some boxes downstairs. It sucks.
