The Art of M.

So, I saw that there was an advanced screening of the 11 years later sequel to Puss in Boots. Wow! Has it really been 11 years ? Definitely a worthwhile decision. My worthless decision was taking in a Maki lunch at a trendy Japanese restaurant called Kome at The Promenade Shops in Center Valley, Pennsylvania.

The salad was mixed green and a few halved grape tomatoes with the blandest ginger dressing I’ve ever had the displeasure of eating, the soup was standard white Miso with Nori. The Maki Rolls I chose for lunch were the unbalanced cucumber/avocado and “the someone chewed a tuna steak into tartare to the consistency of cat food then spit it into rice and rolled it” spicy tuna maki. Seriously, the grossest texture I’ve ever had in my life. Definitely not my idea of a good time. I wasn’t thrilled with waiting nearly 15 minutes for soup & salad and having my waitress ask me how everything is literally two seconds after my food was set on my table. I had no response then, I would have loved to give my opinion face to face had I tasted anything instead I took the time to fill out the survey with my bill. I gave a $10 tip that I would hope would be split among my order taker, two food runners and the busboy but alas, probably won’t.

On to seeing an advanced screening of Puss in Boots: The last wish at an AMC right across the street from Kome. I bought a popcorn to mask the misery residing on my taste buds. I took a center seat from the back row closest to the screen. I almost never sit this close, but I wanted fewer distractions.

This showing was in a very small 141 capacity theater and was quite close to being full. This film had just the right amount of laugh out loud funny, sentiment, tear induced emotional moments & scary fight scenes (a young boy sitting to the right of me had a hard time dealing with the big bad wolf). I loved that it took an “Into the Spiderverse” stylized look for the action sequences. This is one bad ass good time. Opens December 21st.
