When Gretchen told me that Brent and Missy wanted to come over to our place to watch Apollo 18 13 on my iMac, I was a bit confused. “Oh well,” I thought. “It'll be good to see them again.” Turns out they were asking us to come with them to see Apollo 18 13 at the Metreon's IMAX. Even better! We ate a few pieces of sashimi, saw the Rankin-Bass Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer figurines, rifled through the new GI Joe figures, fondled some Jack Skellington stuff, made a digital postcard and sent it to
Robyn and Todd, and then saw the movie. I knew Bill Paxton's head was big - but I had no idea! I hear they actually had to shrink it down to get it to fit on the screen. Yeah. The credits started to roll and I exclaimed: “Oh yeah… Tom Hanks!” Just goes to show you: never mix wasabi with Teeccino.

It's Apollo 13, unless being on the IMAX increases the number.

Well, Apollo 13 is the theatrical release. 18 is the p0rn version. Not that I'd know ANYTHING about that… ;-) But man, talk about your extreme close-ups in IMAX!

Some things should never grow beyond a 25″ television, for the safety of the viewer. :) :)

I looked up Apollo 18 on Google and came up with a They Might Be Giants album. Are you a TMBG fan Chris? It seems like you mentioned that you were when they appeared on The Screen Savers.

The movie was kewl BIG. It was kinda sad they cut so much and made it more “family” oriented (no cussing, throw up scene, etc). However it was still fun!
And Apollo 18 is a great TMBG album!!
Thnx for a fun evening!
