ARGYLLE

I went to see this today, Monday, February 5th, 2024, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max. The admission price was $1.50 on my Rewards Card.

Synopsis: A reclusive Spy Thriller author's life gets complicated when her novels noticeably predict upcoming plots of a secret international spy organization. And interested parties want to know how she does it! 

PG-13, 2 h & 19 m

Dr

Auditorium 6, C-10

After having a Rewards Card for over 20 years, I

finally decided to use it on-line for the 1st time

today to buy a ticket. And I was charged a fee

of $1.50 because it's a new movie! 😒👎

Scene commentaries: 

I thought that "Whirlybird" was another way of saying, "Spinner." 😉 ( Look up the slang definition 🤫 )

Why didn't the bullets go through the car door and why didn't the assassin aim for his legs that were visibly exposed? 🤷‍♂️

Velocity, Enertia and Momentum say that you can't just grab anyone off a speeding bike without it hurting your back as the process spins you sideways! 🧐

Do you know how many double-spaced pages that it takes to write a manuscript? Count the number of pages a typical book has and multiple it by 4! That's about average. So, her mom would have to have a large reservoir of sheets and enough printer ink to print out such a book. Her mother should have received, instead, a PDF or .docX file for convenience and waste prevention! It was a mistake for her mom to hold up, for the audience to see, a not-so-thick, freshly-printed manuscript. If that wasn't bad enough, for a movie script, the general rule is that every minute of the movie equals one page. This movie is 2 hours & 19 minutes long! That's a 139-page movie script! They should have kept this in mind, as a reference, when the "mom" actress was shown with a manuscript in hand! 🤓

Cats with folded ears have a Cartilage Disease problem. It's a disability, not a "cuteness." They should not be bred because they suffer a lot in their later years because of Joint & Cartilage issues. And it's cruel to keep breeding them just to appeal to selfish, uncaring cat "fancier." 

The train fight was so unrealistically choreographed. I hoped and prayed that later fight scenes would be better choreographed. 🤞

Why would the man show such an allergic reaction to the cat in the Wide Open Space? Odds are it wasn't Dander in the air but Pollen was.

The bursting through the floor slats was stupid. 👎 And why were there gaps between the floor slats? That's not how floors are laid down; especially in a multi-story building.  🤨

Again, a wall with no wall studs! 🤦‍♂️

He had the chance to kill the male masquerader but didn't! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The only thing that I could find on the Internet about the Vascular Corridor is in reference to Orthopedic Surgery of the Spine. 😕

I fell asleep in the scene with the 2 women locked in the room where only one could come out alive. I'll see about catching that scene on YouTube someday---If I don't forget!  👴🏼

The "Dance of Death" redeemed the reputation of the fight choreographer and stuntmen. Since it was so over-the-top yet enjoyable to watch.👌👍

The best way to counter an enemy who's shooting at you from a prone position IS TO GET IN THE PRONE POSITION, TOO❗'Think About It .... ( I don't want to explain the dynamics and get "moderated" again! )

I love the Ice Skating ⛸️ scene!

There's a Bonus Scene during the Ending Credits.

TIDBITS:

There was a rainstorm all through the night. And there were broken branches and leaves and pine needles and pine cones all over the outside of my condominium complex. I overheard a lady asking a groundskeeper tending to the fallen branches to cut down the tree near her unit. The man said that the tree wouldn't fall on her unit and, if it did, she'd just get a new unit out of it because it would be covered by the HOA insurance. But, yeah, they already cut the branches that were in danger of falling on people's condos a few years ago!

But I can't wait to see what damage the rainstorm caused at the Dan Foley Park! 

My younger brother reserved a 5:30 p.m. spot for us at the Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse on the lower level of the Westfield Shopping Mall where this Cineplex is also located. We have to go over some legal documents while dining.

This is my 1st time ever to dine in a Brazilian

steakhouse. It's very pricey with all of the

meat ( 15 kinds ) to try. But it's worth

it even if just for once. I made sure

to eat very little these last three

days so that I'll have all of that

room in my belly for the

YUMMY! 🤤🍽️😋

I went down the escalator after seeing the

movie. My brother texted me to find out

where I was at. I told him where I was

waiting for him. He told me that the

entrance WAS Outside! Whoopsie,

where else would it be? 🤦🏽‍♂️

The above photo is somewhere between the

back where I was at and the entrance

where my brother was at! 😁

Finally, my very first time eating at a

Brazilian Steakhouse! 🙂

And I stayed hungry for 3 days to

prepare for this! 🍽️

My brother said that I had to sign the document

first before I can eat. I knew that it wasn't a

free meal. I asked the waiter if they have

a doggie bag for me to put my legal

document in, just in case there's

a downpour outside when my

brother and I leave. 😄

They have a good selection for the 1st course of

the dinner: Salads, vegetables, fruits, breads,

cheeses, rice, salmon & soups. 🤤

My take from the Salad & Soup bar. 

My brother couldn't wait to dive into his food.

And he had the nerve to text our sisters

that I ate too much and am taking so, 

so long to finish eating! 🙄

I couldn't help it if the waiter took too

long to slice the meat. He should

just have left the whole skewer

for me to help myself to it! 😋

My brother told our sisters that it was

MY IDEA for the 2 of us, both with

Triple Bypass Surgery, to eat 

15 kinds of meat! 😂

Well, he DID agree to it! 🤣

Once in a blue moon is

okay to treat yourself.

🤗

The dinner for the both of us came out

to $161.33--not counting the tip! 😲

Which was why I, and my brother, grabbed

a handful of Andes Chocolate Thin Mints on our

way out of the restaurant. For such

an outrageous price, I am never

going to a Brazilian steakhouse

ever again! 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

On my way to put my document in my

car, I decided to see what the Monday

Mystery Movie was. But someone

had already gotten my favorite 3rd

row seat & I really didn't know what

movie was in store for me. So, I

decided to take a pass and just

walk around the parking lot to

achieve my day's goal of 

walking for at least 7,500

steps in such a bad

Atmospheric River

Weather.

On the bright side of things, the

Southern Border will be harder

hit by the rainstorm. And that

should stem the flow of the

ILLEGALS & JIHADISTS

into the country! 👍

Look at what I found yesterday after impatiently hoping to have them again these past few years:

I first came upon this new apple variety, Lucy Red ( or Glo ) 3 years ago before my Heart Surgery. It's

once again available for sale at the 99-Cents

Only Store. It's sweet & slightly tart AND

inside is naturally red-fleshed! 😲

Do you see what I mean? 

PSA: Be mindful of the coffee that you get at a coffee shop:

P.S. I'm glad that my brother's cellphone camera doesn't take good pictures because I don't want anyone using my likeness in one of those on-line dating/marriage websites! 😁 😁 😁

Someone can use my brother's likeness, though. Just Photoshop his wedding ring out! 😜
