Spoiler Alert
Last week, I took the Friday off to go out with the kids who were on school leave. I originally planed to go visit Goree Island again but by the time I was ready, it was too late to go and enjoy a full day. So instead I took the kids to see the last Marvel movie Avengers Endgame.
I have to confess that I am huge fan of Marvel movies. I think I watched every X-men and every Avenger Movies, in theatres and out. I used to read some of the X-men comics when I was a kid also. Funnily, I am not into any other fantasy movies like Harry Potter, Twilight or Games of Throne. I actually will skip a new series on TV or Netflix that deals with fantasy. But Marvel got my heart. Maybe it is because they cast Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man. Or maybe because I always wanted to have a super power. I am not sure. Whatever the case, I am glad that Avengers is over because they took enough of my money between the movies, and the toys I had to buy my kids.
Anyway, before going to the movies, I took the kids to eat at Bazoff which is a nice joint near my place. They serve African and European style food. But I like the simple ambiance and the affordable prices. The kids ordered pasta with Bolognese and grilled chicken. I had a local dish made with palm oil and smoked fish that I really like. The food was great and I had a chance to talk more with the kids.
For the movie, we went to a cinema complex named after one of the biggest Senegalese movie director Ousmane Sembene. The cinema is relatively new and very nice. The waiting area looks like a diner with red velvety seats and Christmas lights. The theaters are big and very well equipped. I have been there only twice and I already prefer it to the other cinema located downtown, near the port, . Both cinemas have the latest movies from Hollywood and Africa. Plus their prices are the same. Yet I have to pay twice the price of a taxi fare if I need to go to the one downtown. So you see, there is no contest here.
Now on to the movie, I do not want to spoil it for y'all. I am just going to say that it was unexpected, funny, witty, heartbreaking. I was actually surprised to wipe tears from my eyes. It is the saddest Avengers movie ever, in my opinion. At first, I was skeptic because the movie was supposed to last 3 hours. But I did not feel the time pass. I enjoyed every bit of it. If you have not watched it yet, I suggest you do.
For this fun day with my children, I went fora casual look as usual. This top or sweater is my favorite at the moment. It is so easy to wear and I like the contrast between the top in cotton and the bottom in a flowy material. I actually like this top so much that I think I will try and copy it by using my other sweaters that are getting tight around the tummy area. It would be a great way of re-purposing them. Most of all, the color of the top makes me happy. For the longest of time, I have been looking for a jacket or a top in mustard. I got lucky at the market with this jewel. I feel so uplifted whenever I wear it. Next step, finding a jacket or duster in the same color.
Do tell me how you felt about the last Avengers movie so we can discuss among fans.
