I Suck At Lost

Karen and I began yesterday by taking our niece (Kaleigh) to the movies. Although Kaleigh's birthday was a while ago, Karen and I did not have the opportunity to take her out... until yesterday. And it just so happened that Kaleigh (along with Karen) wanted to see Shrek Forever After.

(The video below is a trailer for "Shrek Forever After".)


Shrek Forever After is the fourth and supposedly final chapter of the Shrek movie franchise. In this installment, Shrek makes a deal with the shady Rumpelstiltskin after being bored with his current hum-drum life. After the deal sends Shrek into an alternate reality, Shrek learns what he originally had wasn't such a bad thing. (Cue Cinderella's cheesy power ballad "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" from the 80s.)

The movie was okay. It was not as good as the previous movies and the laughs were few and far between. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable. The movie could have been aired on the networks instead of the big screen, but then again... where would be the money in that?

Following the Shrek, Karen and I hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea). On the agenda for the remainder of the day: Lost. Now, I suck at Lost. It just so happens that yesterday was the final episode of the series. Without giving anything away, the series finale was a decent way to end the beloved show. I definitely will miss tuning into the show every week to watch it. The writing for the show was without a doubt superb. I'll probably get sad now because I don't think there is anything else currently on television that is as riveting as Lost... at least I haven't found it yet. Needless to say, it was a great six seasons.

And for anyone curious, the Jimmy Kimmel special after the series finale... waste of time. The supposed alternate endings that were to be aired on the special... stupid.

Despite Jimmy Kimmel, I had a great time yesterday just hanging out with friends and watching the end of truly a great show.
