Hello..., is there anybody out there?
If you've been here before you probably have an idea what is going to happen next. Soon the list will be posted. Soon you will know task ahead for the team that has come to be known as the Summer Movie Squad, #SMS.
What started 8 years ago with two friends having a crazy plan to watch every summer movie released, has turned into a group of devoted movie lovers who never miss an opening night. Sure at first we were maybe a bit over ambitious, and we probably skipped a few movies that first year, but now we all have it worked out. I am proud to say that we completed our entire list last year.
As the group continues to grow with new members each year, the 5 core members remains the driving force.
Kashius, Jipmix, CassandraG, DPW, and the fighter Jay Cruz #Jaystrong.
With our enthusiasm, we have encourage many to follow us weekly into the theaters, and not just by joining our group. There are some that wait all week to see what is posted on this blog. I know because I see it in the analytics that spike each week. It surprises me that so many people are interested in my ramblings about the movie of the week. At first, I started this blog for fun. I just wanted to tell our stories. I never intended this blog to be a serious review site. If I wanted to be known as a movie critic, I would pretend to be one on Rotten Tomatoes or some other site.
So on this blog you will find posts about the SMS going to movies and what we may have encountered along the way. You will not get a synopsis of the films, or breakdowns of scenes. You will get just honest opinions about whether or not to waste your money at the theater.
We do this every year because we love movies. We enjoy the theater experience, and most importantly we have fun. Hopefully you all also enjoy this blog.
So this year, I am planning on getting the posts up promptly. Opening night starting at 8pm Thursdays has helped a lot. There was a time I tried to write posts at 3am after the midnight showings. Those attempts were complete garbage.
The List will drop soon. There is more to come. Enjoy the ride.
