Dinner and a Movie

Tara and I went to Iggy's Sports Grill for dinner. It was good.

Afterward, we went and saw the new Star Trek movie. It was also good.

Oh, you want more? Iggy's has chicken wings. Expensive for wings, but they were big. They were also breaded, which I thought was weird when I first got them, but they turned out to be pretty good. I had the fish and chips plate. I always seem to think fish and chips will be better than they end up being. Maybe people out here (the Mountain West) just don't understand that the fish should be one honking big fish, not breaded fish pieces. It tasted good, but someday someone out here will have a fish and chips platter with a decent sized piece of fish on it... Tara got a pulled pork sandwich. It was too big for her to tackle properly. Maybe tomorrow.

The movie was really good. Good casting, good acting, good story, good effects. And plenty of sound. Hopefully the same people make a second one. I thought they did a good job telling a prequel story without ruining the forward story, and still mixing things up a bit. (Sorry, no spoilers here, but it is definitely worth eight bucks to see the movie.) The one regret from the movie? The fate of that poor beagle... Go see it.
