"Show tunes, they really tell the story of the human condition." Not. Name the movie.

I'm surrounded by metrosexuals.
I've decided I'm not going to see San Andreas. I live on it. I have enough to worry about.

When I first saw the trailer for it, I thought it was a joke, didn't we just see an earthquake/disaster movie in 2012?

How many more earthquake/tsunami/tornado/raining shark movies do we need?

Why can't Hollywood just show us the Bob Hoover movie instead? I'd much rather watch a true story about a real pilot flying real airplanes in real wars than the crap Hollywood keeps putting out. At least Unbroken was pretty good, where are all the other true war story/hero movies?

I've been commuting from MCO-ATL for the past 18 years, I think Disney said Sept-Oct are their two slowest months because all the Americans are getting back to school after summer break. Those are usually the two slower months for Delta's flights in/out of MCO, but as Luv mentions, you might hit a business convention of some type and be hosed.

Also, the cruise ship people going out of Port Canaveral use MCO, so be ware of that, but Sep/Oct is also hurricane season, I doubt if the cruise ships are very busy then. Last place I'd want to be is on a cruise ship with a storm coming!

I agree completely. I loved Unbroken. Hollywood puts out pap these days. It's what sells, unfortunately. We see a lot of movies. It's just part of the culture out here. Most of the stuff sucks. Last good movie I saw was Lone Survivor, and I've seen a whole bunch since then. Mostly crap.

I took my wife on our date night last night and we saw Aloha. Emma Stone is a hot USAF pilot that pretty much flies everything in the inventory. She falls in love with Bradly Cooper, whose a contractor. I just saved you $15.

Hahaha! Thanks for the review Buzz, but if it's got Bradly Cooper in it, my wife might try to drag me to it anyway! Does Emma at least give us some underboob/sideboob, or a gratuitous naked butt shot in the moonlight?

"Hot Pursuit", with Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, was filmed in part at our golf club, so we went to see it. Imagine Lucille Ball and Charo horribly remaking a Laurel & Hardy feature....Now you have saved $15.

Use your phone. Take a picture and email it. Same as a scan.

What we did was come in the night before and stayed at a hotel by the airport and then caught the first flight out. Those seem to be more open

It is not a problem, as long as you are in uniform. No need to say anything first.

Yes, they'll need it.
