The mystery has been solved. I was wrong, Mike was right. I apologized.
Clockwise from top left: Stacey, Justin, Me and Sarath
I went to Cleveland to visit Stacey and Sarath (I think they were moving, and I went to help?) and my friend Justin from college came to help us and hang out. We went to dinner and then saw Vantage Point. The whole evening is coming back to me….thanks to Justin for having the memory of an elephant (or so he says). Phew. Mystery solved.

Okay. Let me start with the background information, if I may…
Earlier tonight Mike twittered “watching Vantage Point”. Then after his movie was over, I spoke to him on the phone. This is the general start of our conversation:
Me: Hey! How’d you like Vantage Point, Round 2?
Mike: Round 2?
Me: Well yeah, you’re home viewing. Since we saw it in the theater.
Mike: I’ve never seen this movie before tonight. I didn’t see it in the theater.
Me: Yes you did! We saw it in the theater, and people around us were complaining about the ‘rewind’ technique that they used.
Mike: I didn’t see this in the theater! Was it someone else you were with? Did I see a different movie? I’ve never seen this before!
…Let’s just say, this conversation continued for awhile. Mike insists he’s never seen it (and it’s not really a movie you’d forget, or want to watch twice) and I was positive that I saw it with him. We looked through all related blogs, we checked our google calender that we update…and nothing. We cannot figure out the truth….what really happened back in February 2008 when this movie was released? Did I see this movie with you, honest reader? Was it Mike? Please help us. It’s no longer a matter of insisting one is right and one is wrong, it’s just not. It’s really a matter of finding out the truth, to put us at ease in this bizarre situation where we completely forget what actually happened in relation to seeing Vantage Point.

This is my “media related year in list form” blog. It’s got a few lists….yup. I’d have to say this isn’t up for debate…by that I mean, my opinion of these things isn’t really up for debate. But please, feel free to share your own opinion. I suppose if you really feel my opinions are wrong…or I simply forgot to mention something you just know I would have included….debate! Enjoy!
