scream, re-quel, movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'scream'. i recognized some of the original cast members, especially neve campbell, the main reason why i wanted to watch it. this movie had a new term in it, 're-quel', and the meaning of it was explained as well. it is the merger of a re-boot, and a sequel. and said 'ghostbusters' would be considered as such. i recall saying i had seen the first two in theaters in the same year, but after that i don't think i had seen any others- until now. so according to wikipedia, there are two that i haven't seen yet as this one is the fifth movie in the franchise. much of the storyline is familiar to those who have seen these movies before, and this is why i liked it, as it made fun of the rules in horror movies. also how it keeps the viewer guessing. an early scene in it meant something to me, probably not the case for all as it took place at a bowling alley called 'cardinal lanes' in modesto, california. there is a cardinal lanes in my hometown of newton, iowa. another memorable scene was sid saying she wouldn't set foot in woodsboro again, but we know how it ends- she does. wouldn't be much of a movie if she didn't. and of course there are scenes of people watching the earlier movies of the franchise. some names in the cast sounded familiar, in terms of being 'legacy actors'- as there was actors named gooding, and quaid. those two are the sons of cuba gooding, and dennis quaid. 

after the movie was done i got started on errand running. there was two orders to pick up at the post office, then i went to the capitol and dropped off recycling. after this i went to the gas station and dumped the movie, then went home and had lunch. after checking email i laid down for a while, then went to aldi for my weekly grocery order. after watching the news i got ready for the meetup walk, finding things i would need for it such as a flashlight, and a blanket. i chose the simpsons one as it hadn't been used much lately. the light was a small one so it wasn't too effective, but i really didn't need it when others brought stronger ones. i kept a quick pace so of course this was helpful. at the end was a bonfire, along with little chip bags and little brownies. it was at a nature center in bloomington, first time there. it was nice to see a sunset and a moonrise. there were plenty that had dropped out of the walk, i noticed i was the 10th one from the wait-list added and ten more were added after me. i laid down after getting back from it and then went on a walk and found 60 cents.
