air jordan movie

 saw the air jordan movie this afternoon in inver grove heights. i recognized matt damon, ben affleck, and jason bateman in it. i said i should see this one as it has echoes of two of my favorite movies, 'good will hunting', and 'up in the air'. as 'hunting' is another damon/affleck vehicle, and 'up in he air' also had bateman, as well as the cyndi lauper song 'time after time'. i did my research and found out that song is in movies and TV shows all the time. the music in it is good, and there is a lot of it. more often than not, a scene had some music in it. it got at least one 'single but loud ha' out of me, because of chris tucker. the preview for 'book club' did as well, wasn't expecting a chick flick to get a laugh out of me. the opening segment is a montage of images that were what 1984 was known for, the year jordan was signed by the bulls. except the song in this part, 'money for nothing' by dire straits, was as a hit a year later, 1985. said the same about the scene in a 7-11 where a box of wheaties was bought. one does see mary lou retton on the box's front, which would be correct for that year. but odd how the minnesota twins tribute is on the back when it is rung up, which was actually 1987, the year the twins won the series. it also reminded me of how i have never owned these shoes. i recall when they were new and a kid from a richer family than mine at church had them, asked me why i didn't. because they were expensive and my parents couldn't afford them. i once knew somebody who bought a pair and didn't wear them at all. well the way i was taught, food- and clothing- were meant to be used. since this is a nike movie, i liked seeing a picture of prefontaine in the background of some scenes, and i knew this was the first athlete signed by nike. while at the theater i picked up a poster for the bio-pic about boxer george foreman, this is likely the next movie i am seeing at theaters. 

   before the movie i went to the copy store, an printed a ticket for an event i am attending in june. so i crossed off both lines remaining on my to-do list. performed at an open-mic in the evening and spoke of not only this movie but also some bank stories and a going-away party. during my walks i found 98 cents.
