I have waited for this day since starting with the company.
My boss has created some really cool projects besides the well known writing he's done for the movies. One of the things many of us have wanted for quite awhile was to have merchandise available of some of those projects.
Well now we do. Click on over to www.oentertainment.com/omart/ and you can check out some pretty cool merchandise.
Yeah, yeah, shameless plug.
This past weekend I was able to take my daughter to see "Polar Express." Luckily for us, there's an IMAX 3D theater close by and they were showing Polar Express in the theater.
The only other time I had seen an IMAX 3D film was 2 years ago when I took my daughter to see the 3D film my boss had created, "Santa vs. the Snowman 3D." The 3D effect generated through the IMAX system was stunning.
They are no less stunning in "Polar Express." Let me put it this way; I saw "Polar Express" Friday night. Saturday afternoon me and the family went to see "The Incredibles" (another great film). One of the previews before "The Incredibles" was for "Polar Express." As I watched the trailer, all I could think was how much better it looked in 3D.
If you have an IMAX theater nearby playing "Polar Express" (3D or not), I can't recommend you seeing it highly enough.
As you can see, I haven't posted in quite awhile, so that should tell you just how important I feel it is that Colin Powell has resigned as Secretary of State and has been replaced by Condoleezza Rice.
Powell is a great American and true public servant, but his views as Secretary were much too moderate for my tastes given the current state of the world's affairs.
Rice brings an absolutely sterling record to the job and is much less likely to be willing to bend her views towards so-called "internationalism," for which Powell is being given much praise from some European countries.
The one thing I will forever be grateful to Colin Powell for is his remarkable presentation to the U.N. regarding Iraq. Though it appears that much of the information the presentation was based might have been faulty (I actually lean more towards the theory that WMD's were moved), his presentation brought full attention to the danger Hussein posed. I have no doubt if many, many high ranking people in some of the countries in opposition to the war were not on the take in the "Oil-for-Food" program, those countries might very well not have been in opposition at all mostly due to Powell's presentation.
For that, I am grateful Powell was there; for all the praise he is receiving from certain European countries, I am grateful he has resigned.
Politics, Hollywood, and Poker....what more can you ask for?
It's not what happens that matters....it's how you react.
