HUNTER KILLER, R ( 2 hr & 1 min )

-

I went to see movie twice, on its 7:00 p.m. ( auditorium 3, seat C6 ) advanced screening on Thursday, October 25th, 2018 and today, Saturday, October 27th, at 4:30 p.m. ( auditorium 3, seat B4 ), both at the Century 14 Vallejo, here in Vallejo, CA.

Quickie Review:  An untested US Navy Submarine Captain ( Gerard Butler ) goes to Russia to save the Russian President ( Alexander Diachenko ) from a coup d'etat orchestrated by the rouge Russian Defense Minister ( Michael Gor ) to avert a nuclear war between the two superpowers.

The audience liked this movie; some even gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending. I liked this movie, too, enough to see it twice! Go see this Suspense Thriller.

Michael Nyqvist, who played the role of the Russian Submarine Captain, died after this movie was completed last year.  RIP   πŸ˜ž

The female US President ( Caroline Goodall ) reminded me of hillary bodybags clinton!   πŸ˜ 

******************************************

After the movie, I had a run-in in the parking lot:

At 7:00 p.m., a paranoid Pinoy asshole came up to me in the Century 14 Vallejo parking lot, where I was scrolling through my Facebook page, and asked me if I was videotaping something.
Of what? I asked him. It's dark out. How was I gonna get a good image of anything? πŸ˜•
He said that I was holding up my cellphone for over a minute. I told the paranoid Pinoy idiot that I am near-sighted and showed him my Facebook page. He said it looked to him that I was videotaping him because I casually had the back of my cellphone aimed in the general direction of his car, which was about 60 feet away--twice the distance of where I parked my car. He accused me of videotaping, once again. Of what? I asked him again. I am just minding my own fucking business, I told him in a raised voice as I was getting angry with him because of his false accusation! I was getting in πŸ€œ "Battle Mode," πŸ€› and ready to do some serious bodily harm to the paranoid Pinoy idiot.
He walked away. He was lucky that he didn't press me some more with his paranoid accusation. Because he was unwittingly pressing my "Fight" buttons. And I don't take kindly to false accusations---IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!

Over half an hour later:

Just now, at 7:36 p.m., a black guy just walked by me and asked if I work here. No, I don't, I responded. What's going on tonight? There's not even a full moon in the night sky. But paranoid idiots are out in force, it seems! πŸ˜•

I'm gonna have to check my horoscope forecast for this evening! πŸ™ƒ

Someday, If I ever get into a fight in a theatre or outside in its parking lot, it will be here at the Century 14 Vallejo! There are so many asshole idiots who come here, I swear. Especially on weekends.

I went to see these movies yesterday, Monday, October 1st, 2018, at the Century 16 Hilltop in Richmond, CA.

TRICO TRI: HAPPY HALLOWEEN is about a brother & sister ghost siblings who make it their vow to keep haunting their former home until a deserving family is found to occupy it.

MISS GRANNY is about an old lady who is given a second chance at youth but sacrifices it at the end.

QISMAT is about a man in a pending arranged marriage and about a woman who is also pledged to be betrothed to someone else. But cruel fate puts them in each other's way. And their unrequited love ends in a tragic way.

All three movies, to me, were sad. It went from Sad  😭, Sadder  😭😭, Saddest  😭😭😭! I don't like movies like these. I like movies with a happy--or hopeful--ending.

*****************************************

Before seeing these movies, I went to the GOIN' POSTAL in the FoodMaxx Shopping Center on the corner of Redwood & Tuolumne Streets here in Vallejo, CA. My MONGOOSE EXPO STUNT KICK-BIKE had already arrived.   πŸ˜Š

-

Then, I took it to Wheels In Motion Skate & Bike Shop in Benicia, CA, for professional assembly and adjustment.

I will pick it up on Wednesday, right after work, and take it to the Benicia State Park for its trial run. This kick-bike is better suited for the hike/bike trail at the park.

Whereas, my kick-scooters cannot handle being used at the trail. They eventually wear-down, sooner or later, even though they have dual suspension. I already had 2 kick-scooters wear-down on me. They were designed only to be ridden on smooth pavement/sidewalk.

Last year, an orthopedic surgeon advised me not to go jogging anymore because of my bad left knee. She suggested that I either just walk or ride a bicycle for exercise. But walking or biking are too easy for me. Kick-scooting/kick-biking is harder than walking and can even be harder than jogging if you force yourself to go up an incline--you'd be better off jogging OR walking up that incline!

Kick-scooting is faster than walking BUT slower than jogging.

Kick-biking  CAN BE faster than jogging, depending on how big the wheels are. The Mongoose Expo Stunt Kick-Bike has 12-inch/30.50 centimeter wheels. There are kick-bikes out there with bigger wheels and, consequently, are much faster.

I will find out on Wednesday just how fast this Mongoose Expo Stunt Kick-Bike is.

My personal speed record on a round-trip distance on a kick-scooter is 14 minutes & 51 seconds. Which I achieved on a Black/Green X-Spec 924 Kick-Scooter.

-

For some strange reason, this kick-scooter is faster than my slightly lighter-weight Blue Ancheer Kick-Scooter.  πŸ˜•

-

The fastest same-distance time that I ever achieved on my Blue Ancheer Kick-Scooter was 15 minutes & 21 seconds.    😞
