“Beautiful You” by Rick Springfield
Last night we saw the last showing of The Chronicles of Riddick. And it was actually the LAST show because it’s not playing out here in our area today. Alas!
When we walked into the auditorium, we were the only ones there. Cool, right? We headed up to the topmost row, figuring that if anyone did show up, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about weird people sitting behind us kicking our chairs. The husband went to get some food and drinks and while he was gone a trio of women walked in. Where they there because it was a Vin Diesel movie? I really couldn’t say. They didn’t look like sci-fi fanchicks, so I thought it was interesting. When I came back from my ladies room trip, five more people had wandered into the auditorium. And more people came in before the lights dimmed for the commercials and trailers.
Before the trailers started, I told my husband, “I hope they show the trailer for ‘The Bourne Supremacy.'” I thought it would be funny to see the trailer of Karl Urban movie while we were there for a Karl Urban movie. We saw five trailers before the one for The Bourne Supremacy came up. It ended up being the last trailer. LOL! I wonder if anyone recognized Karl when he came on screen for The Chronicles of Riddick.
The movie was a decent one hour and forty-nine minutes of my life. Lots of cool effects and fast paced action. The plot was a little weak. It was as if we were treated to the fringes of a great story. Maybe I’m being picky. I dunno. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the movie, especially since we got a very decent amount of Karl as Vaako action. 🙂 And I did my fangirl duties.
I hope that the DVD edition has more stuff in it. I’d seen the previews for Riddick and I know for sure that at least one scene was cut. And it was a Karl scene!
