Summer and Superhero movies, but they sure seem to go together! This is not just
a recent development either; Summertime has brought us Superhero flicks for
decades now! Maybe it is the pure escapism, and maybe its just the "popcorn
picture" feel that the Summer seems to serve up...Whatever the case, you know
those Hollywood people are constantly trying to find a new and different method
to bring the Superhero to the screen in a way that has not been done before.
Enter HANCOCK. This new WILL SMITH vehicle takes the whole Superhero mythos
and stands it on its ear! An obnoxious and loser of a Superhero??? Yup! That's
what we got here, folks! (But, you just KNOW it won't stay that way,
right?) Tons of Summer popcorn fun here! </FONT></FONT></FONT><BR></STRONG>

would be WRONG-OH! This heartwarming and marvelous little film will touch you in
ways you never thought possible for a lonely little robot to do! I think it
touches a common yearning in all of us, this nervy little WALL-E. Truly a

HONCHO</U>...<BR><FONT size=2>Our "traditional" July 4th weekend free
showing of OUR DECATUR-1955, the ultra-rare 1955 Decatur documentary that we own
the only known copy of, has been postponed until later in the Summer.
</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000>We were wracking our brains
trying to fit it in this weekend until Mrs. H said "Why does it have to be July
4th weekend, anyway?". <EM>I had no response for
that!</EM> </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000>Look for it sometime in
August!<BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>I had the great privilege to tour the
almost-completed new 5-screen movie theater in Clinton this week, and what a
nice place it looks to be! For all of you in Clinton and Maroa (and thereabouts)
who hate driving to Forsyth for movies, <U>you won't have to do so much
longer</U>! I always believed a theater in Clinton was a great idea, and now, it
looks to be open sometime in August! <BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>With
all the hoop-de-doo about the recent filming in Decatur of THE INFORMANT, and
Matt Damon hanging around here for about a month, I decided to read the book
that the movie will be based on...Let me tell you, this is a great Summer
"poolside read", folks! I never thought I would ever be interested in a story
that seemed so convoluted and complicated on the surface, but the book reads
like a real thriller! It's a page-turner, that's for sure! I highly recommend
it!<BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>Congrats to good Avon customer Larry
Foster for his appointment to the Decatur City Council to fill out an unexpired
term. This is a straight shooter, who is not afraid to speak his mind. With more
on the council like him (and we have a few more) we should see even more
progress in Decatur!<BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000>Can you believe it is already July
4th weekend? This stupid Summer took so long to get started, that it seems we
are really being short-changed this year for a good old HOT Summertime (my
favorite!). I don't like the cool evenings we've been having....I like it HOT!
Some of my favorite Summertimes are when it is so hot at 10 PM, you just have to
jump in the pool to cool off! It doesn't look like we will get much of that this
year!<BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
