It's spring break and we didn't make any plans to go anywhere, so when I had the day off, I took Eryn to two movies. We went to the animated movie The Croods and G.I. Joe: Retribution. That is just a weird double feature. I really enjoyed The Croods and I didn't think I would. Primarily because Nick Cage usually takes a few approval points off the top of anything. But it was a very good daddy-daughter movie, and although it lacked a bit in story quality, it was a beautiful movie. Whomever was in charge of textures - the water and the smoke - did a wonderful job. I think they were better looking than the real thing.
As for G.I. Joe, Eryn really enjoyed it so it was amusing. She compared it to a game of Call of Duty and thought The Rock's cupcake shooting gun (for shooting cupcakes, not like it had cupcakes as projectiles) was funny. Toward the end, I mentioned that Cobra Commander must actually be Heinz Doofenshmitz behind his silvery, face-concealing mask because all of his satellites came with a very obvious self-destruct button. In that metaphor, Perry the Platypus was played by Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
