A few years ago, I decided to embrace the fact that the, or at least a, major summer blockbuster released on or within a few days of my birthday. Since then, I've had a Spiderman party, Superman party, (see releases on or near 6.30 since 2002) last year the theme practically wrote itself with the release of the 4th in the DH series, Live Free or Die Hard ... into 29.
This is actually a great summer for movies and I've missed them all so far, including Get Smart which I've been anticipating since I was about 7 years old. It couldn't truly be a birthday movie because they released it too early, curses!! Gettin Smart in my 30s, could've been great, alas, it was not to be.
The choices for this weekend are two-fold, Wall-E and Wanted. Which makes the possible themes "Wanted: Decade 3" or "Up Against a Wall-E: 30 and Counting". Darn them for putting James McAvoy in one of them and making the choice practically select itself; I'm so glad to know he'll have a happier ending than Atonement. Dang, I just teared up again over that movie.
And I always get popcorn at the birthday movie. It's in the by-laws.
What would you vote for?

I would vote for Wall-E; it looks so cute, and it's certain to be a crowd-pleaser. Happy, happy 30th birthday! Can you believe we're this old?

Definitely James McAvoy. He's such a cutie. Happy 30th! Welcome to the club...
I heard Wanted was full of action and violence! You can start your 30's with a bang!! Have a fun and happy day-oh to be 30 again!!

Have a fantastic 30th, Amber!!! I miss you! Thanks for saying the idiotic rental car dude was wrong! :) Seriously, have the best day ever!
any movie works....in fact...I am up for stealing the concept. As a matter of fact...the concept of birthday weekend is going into FULL play this year.
BTW - gift enroute but it will be after the fact, sister.
