Looks like a great trip, @bert ! just a 1 1/2 hour drive to Seaworld San Antonio. . .and just ~1:15 for Six Flags Fiesta Texas. . that's why I go so often.
but I did just book a trip for Coasterstock in late May (unplanned. .so it's last minute. . but hitting Holiday World, Kings Island (for the actual 2 day Coasterstock event) and Kentucky Kingdom). . then in June I'll be in Europe riding some coasters. . .and of course over Labor Day weekend will be in Atlanta for Dragon*con. . which means a stop at Six Flags Over Georgia.

@bert , that seems to have been a lot of fun! The strangest thing for me was to see people without masks... I look forward to our sanitary measures being lifted. keep in mind, it was an outdoor event. they took us back to the party area in shuttle buses, and many (including myself) put on a mask to ride in the enclosed Shuttles

I have no interest in this Batman movie, that guy from Twilight makes me want to barf and the rest of the cast is mwah.
Maybe I'll watch it on cable eventually....

Is there some special reason why this particular Batman movie is expected to be bad or is it just part of the general negative feeling about DC movies the last few years?

I was not expecting much from this Batman film, and wasn't planning on seeing it until I could get it for free from the library. However, everyone I know locally in my circle of con friends and acquaintances that has seen it has really liked it and sung its praises. It is getting good reviews and good box office. I'm still not sure I will see it before DVD release, but I am considering it now whereas before it wasn't in the realm of possibility.

I have no interest in this based on the trailers, and I really dislike this version of Riddler (from the trailers).
but several of my friends who saw it Friday said it's really good and that I will like it.
still think I'll wait a month and catch it on HBO Max tho.

Miss Jezebel, I sat and watched all the Twilight films multiple times with my wife. It can’t be that bad :-)

I saw it. I am 60 and it was ok IMO. However My daughter's ages 27-30 really liked it. This version of Batman is for the younger generation.

I believe in not complaining (extensively) about a movie unless I've seen it. But free on HBO Max sounds like a good price.

An old friend of mine is actively defending Putin's invasion of Ukraine, spamming our private group with videos from a Lord Haw-Haw wannabe by the name of Gonzalo Lira.
I swear, I don't want to lose another friend over politics... but I'll be darned if some people don't make that very difficult.
I don't care about how media sometimes lie and politicians try to manipulate public opinion. There's one country invading another for no good reason, and that's enough to determine who the bad guys are.

There's one country invading another for no good reason, and that's enough to determine who the bad guys are. I never comment on politics , but I don't think this is politics. One country invading a sovereign country is pretty straight forward. I avoided the political thread when it was active and I still like everyone.

As for the Batman movie, I generally stopped watching movies , even the free ones. I think I might have developed a short attention span disorder. Last movie I saw in the theaters was Avengers : Endgame.
