A friend first told me about Movie Tavern about 4 - 5 years ago. It sounded like a great way to watch a movie. And in case you don't know what they are, Movie Taverns are movie theaters and taverns in one (duh!). Basically you get to watch a movie while enjoying a meal. Just have a seat, place your order with your waiter, and sit back and enjoy. They even have a full-service bar.
There was one in Houston, but it was so far from home that I never got around to going. Now that I'm in Fort Worth, there are 4 within about 10 - 15 minutes. I've been meaning to go for a while now, but one thing or another always comes up. I was planning on going this past week, but I got busy with school. And now I'm getting started with finals, so I definitely don't have time.
Next week, my last final is on Thursday, and then I have a class to go to on Saturday. What does that mean? That Friday is completely open! And I just promised myself that I would finally go.
Now I just need to figure out what to watch. I think I'll sleep in and then catch a mid-day movie. Friday's schedule isn't up yet, but based on Thursday's schedule, it look like my options are: Despicable Me, Grown Ups, Knight and Day, Predators, The Last Airbender, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and Toy Story 3. I'm not sure which I'll watch, but it won't be Predators or Twilight.
If you've seen any of the above and enjoyed it, let me know!

Movie Suggestions
If you have Netflix, then you know that they suggest movies based on what you've watched in the past. Occasionally there's actually one I'm interested in watching, but usually I've never heard of them. I recently noticed that Netflix has started inventing new movie categories/genres. Based on what I've watched in the past, Netflix has generated the following movie/TV categories/genres for me:
I also think it's funny that some movies/TV shows created multiple categories. Apparently liking "The Office" means I like both feel-good comedies and witty TV dramas. I'm not sure how it's a drama, but apparently Netflix thinks it is.
- Sentimental Romantic Movies
- Critically-Acclaimed Thrillers
- Feel-Good Comedies
- Workplace TV Dramas
- Witty TV Drama
- Romantic Comedies with Strong Female Lead

The Real MIBs
Today, I saw the real-life men in black.
I was stopped at a red light in front of a federal building in downtown Dallas. I looked over at the car next to me, and there they were -- two men were sitting in a black SUV wearing black suits, black ties, and dark sunglasses (quite possibly Ray Bans). They even had the slicked back hair.
I guess they could have been something like the BAU since they usually ride around in black SUVs and I can't remember actually seeing the MIBs in black SUVs. But the BAU doesn't usually wear the black suits. I know that it's possible they were just two guys sitting in a car, but there was just something a little too familiar about them. And it really doesn't help that they were in front of a federal building either.
I just thought I'd mention it before it was permanently erased from my memory.
***************************************************************************************
The good guys dress in black, remember that
Just in case we're ever face to face and make contact
The title held by me, M.I.B.
Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't blink be what was there is now gone
The black suits with the black Ray Bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist, no names and no fingerprints
Saw something strange, watch your back
'Causes you never quite know where the M.I.B.s is at
Now from the deepest of the darkest of night
On the horizon, bright light enters sight tight
Cameras zoom, on the impending doom
But then like BOOM black suits fill the room up
With the quickness, talk with the witnesses
Hypnotizer, neuralizer, vivid memories turn to fantasies
Ain't no M.I.B.s, can I please?
Alright check it, let me tell you this in closing
I know we might seem imposing
But trust me if we ever show in your section
Believe me, it's for your own protection
'Cause we see things that you need not see
And we be places that you need not be
So go on witcha life, forget that Roswell crap
Show love to the black suit, cause that's the men in
That's the men in black
