George PM'd me on Monday or thereabouts inviting me to go with him to the IMAX showing of Prometheus at Tampa's Channelside Theaters. My YES was immediate as I never refuse a night out with my good buddy Jive.

 

He'd been looking forward to the film for months, carefully following the online viral campaign about Peter Weyland's backstory as the 21st Century's #1 patent holder & moneyed titan. I too was anticipating the film with sufficient nerdy giddiness.

 

Our hero arrived at the newly constructed Castle von Tupenny with just enough time for a quick tour of its appointments. With his approval of my digs well secured, out the door into rainy Florida weather we went.

 

Jive was particularly excited about seeing Ridley Scott's return to the Alien universe in IMAX 3D. He'd read a number of 3D Prometheus reviews & shared with me their enthusiasm for its successful immersive experience.

 

Sadly, the theater wasn't showing it in 3D, despite its online representations. Jive was disappointed but we settled into our roomy IMAX theater recliners & dove right in. Thanks for buying my ticket, pal. :)

 

We both enjoyed the film. I won't hazard a review of my own for this report. I'll leave that to the many other threads dedicated to it. I did find myself on the edge of my seat during a few of the more harrowing sequences. KUDOS to Fassbender & the actor playing the ship's captain. Both of them are movie stars.

 

Part of the evening plan was dinner. After all, dinner & a movie is an American tradition.

 

There are a number of attractive eateries at Channelside. We considered a Greek/Mediterranean place (shawarma is infectious), a Mexican cantina, & a few other places with typical Friday night fare.

 

Naturally, we opted for Hooters.

 

Was it the food or wel ah the girls?

I was expecting 3D IMAX

 

This is 2D on a 50 inch screen.

 

Still cute though.

 

You boys wanna talk that way about women?

 

Don't do it around me.

If a man wants to ridicule another person's physical features online then they should post plenty pics of themself first.

 

If a man wants to ridicule a woman's breasts then they should post pics of their pecker first.

Our actual waitress was quite well endowed, but she had all the charm of a rabid muskrat. And while we appreciated the show of cleavage as she let her ample chest spill onto the table when she took our order, we knew it was all in hopes of garnering a big tip. A simple Boobs for Bucks transaction. Megan, however, was just a bright ray of light on an otherwise dreary day. Clearly, she got the memo that comic geeks are "in" right now.

Channelside?

 

Yes sir.

 

You get an invite next go, Adonis. :)

 

Come to think of it....a night out at Hooters and the Big screen at Channelside should be SOP for all Boardies in the Greater Tampa Bay area wanting to see a comic movie. Its centrally located, delightfully tacky, yet unrefined. :P

 

Dark Knight Rises anyone?

When I saw the title, I thought this might be a gay thread. How disappointing.

 

Give it time.

 

lol lol lol

 

 

Is this a bad time to mention I didn't think Tupenny's "Pantsburster" schtick in the middle of a dark movie theatre showing an Alien prequel was particularly appropriate?
