Yes, until this past Thursday I had never watched the movie in full. I swear this is true.
Here's what I've done since last Monday; as I did nothing of note on Monday the 20th, let me skip ahead to Tuesday. That evening, I returned to Disney Springs. I walked around and saw it was largely the same as my last time there a few weeks ago. I went to the AMC Theatres there and what I saw was not a movie but rather a sporting event. It was the Copa America Centenario soccer match between the United States and Argentina. Despite not being a huge soccer fan, the novelty of seeing it that way plus getting out the house was an enticing mix for me. It took some time for the people there to properly turn on the game for viewing but it finally was figured out. As for the game, even I could see the obvious difference in skill between the two teams. Argentina looked so much better and it was proven as they won 4-0. Messi's talent was also proven.
Wednesday, I did nothing to note so onto Thursday, which was an interesting day. I finally saw the movie Independence Day in full; that's right, I somehow never watched it in the 20 years it's been out. I saw some scenes and I did know Bill Pullman's epic speech, but that's about it. To be frank, the movie looked too dopey and ridiculous to me and well, it is quite dopey and ridiculous. I saw it in Orlando; places across the country had a double bill where on the big screen they played the original and then at 8PM it was Resurgence. It has its charms but I usually don't watch such things... as snobby as that might sound. As for Resurgence, despite what most everyone thinks, I actually liked it a little more; the fact that there weren't as many annoying/stupid characters helped in that regard. I saw it in 3D; as for most 3D movies of modern times, you can watch it in 2D and it's probably better that way.
Friday, I went with someone to the local Outback Steakhouse as the neither of us had been to one in ages. That went fine, and it provided a great comic moment where a woman pulled a Buford T. Justice from Smokey & the Bandit and walked out of the bathroom with toilet paper stuck to their foot. Saturday, the only thing of note is that late in the evening, something I ate earlier did not agree with me, and as I know no one wants to hear those details, I'll move onto Sunday. That evening, I made another airport run, this time to pick someone up in Sanford. They were delayed about an hour, but that only meant I left an hour later. On the way there I stopped in Lake Mary to get cheap gas then I went to a Tilted Kilt, as I hadn't been to one of those in ages. I had a Fire Rock Pale Ale beer from Kona Brewery in Hawaii, and from having a few of their beers, Kona makes quality brew. The trip back home was uneventful, which was nice as this past week I had to deal with some heinous traffic. I mean, even worse than usual. At times I had to let them know what I thought of what they were doing... even know I am sure that most of the time they are too dumb to know why I am angry at them.
I will be back a week from today even if it's the 4th of July. I do have an idea or two when it comes to activities.
