It doesn't sound like this is your issue, but you may want to google "phantosmia" (phantom smells that your brain and olfactory sensors sometimes create for you).

Get her in. Could be diabetes.

Glad to hear it went well. :grouphug: & many wishes for a speedy & hassle-free recovery.

I have glasses for distance. I need them for driving or even when just walking around generally looking at things at a distance. (The distance doesn't have to be that far away -- it helps me see things more clearly that are, say, about four feet or more from me.) I can see the instrument panel clearly with my glasses on. I remove the glasses for reading & for eating. (For some reason, the food is too close & the blurriness through my glasses almost makes me queasy.) For me, glasses are mandatory for driving as they especially help me in lower-light/dark situations, reading street signs, seeing pedestrians & bicyclists that might not show up well, etc.... I think it is also well-worth investing in distance sunglasses if they will mainly be used for driving. (My biggest issue is times when on vacation. If I'm on the beach, I need my distance sunglasses to look out over the water or people-watch or whatever. But I need plain non-rx sunglasses if I want to read. So, kind of a pain but do-able.) I vote yes. Get the distance glasses for driving (I got my first pair in college & was AMAZED that I could suddenly read highway signs from a distance. I didn't realize how much I couldn't see clearly at a distance.) And get distance sunglasses for driving as well.

I have seen it where the bride's parents walk her in. When they are at the front, the groom's parents remain standing too. The officiant then asks, "Who blesses this marriage?" & the parents answer in unison either "I do" or "We do". Maybe something similar/a variation would appeal to your dd.

I never saw the first ones either but I've heard they were quite funny. When my friend & I saw this preview for Pitch Perfect 3, we said we would go because we could use some silliness & laughs after the past year that both of us have had. I had no idea it was filmed (or part of it was filmed) in Atlanta until now.

Could it have been Pitch Perfect 3? Looks like they were filming at the aquarium in Feb. I've been seeing the trailers for that movie & it will be coming out at Thanksgiving or Christmas (can't remember which).

Will be curious to hear comments on Valerian too. Dd really wants to see it & we probably will go soon. I'm on the fence about Dunkirk for myself. I will sob during movies & am sure a war movie will make me sob. My dc don't think so, though, based on the style of storytelling in it. And I love Christopher Nolan's work (Inception is one of my top two movies). But I'm still not sure. Will let you know when/if I hear about the GA Aquarium in a movie that's out. I know when they are filming on campus, they often as students not to tweet, etc... about the location or sets or anything. I think they want to avoid masses of people coming to gawk (or see big stars, if there are any). And, like you said, plenty of stuff that is filmed doesn't end up in the final version. It could be for a tv program too (or did it specifically say it was a movie?)....

"To me, most of it seemed forced. For instance, somewhere near the beginning the main character is listening to music with earbuds while he walks down the street and is dancing around and acting out the music as he walks. I think he was supposed to look cool, but I thought he looked a little goofy. The whole thing felt a little off to me and not believable." Imo (& from stuff I've read), I think that's somewhat on purpose. Everything, everything is coordinated to the varying beats of the music. So the dialogue, the physical movements, the cuts between angles or scenes -- all of it is coordinated to the beat of the music chosen for that scene. Apparently the music was treated as a character & even scripted into the storyboards because it is such an integral part of the entire mode of storytelling in this movie. Ds said he saw something where Kevin Spacey talked about how hard it was NOT to start dancing in every speaking scene because they rehearsed over & over saying things while music was blaring so they would say it in time/in sync with the music. And he had to speak "naturally" as well as move "naturally" (not dancing) when all he really wanted to do was break out & dance. :lol: My ds refers to it as an action/heist musical. Lol. (And it sort-of is.)

My dc (teens) have seen Dunkirk & liked it.

No. After Hollywood, GA is (I think) the biggest spot in the US for filming & production. There are many movies filmed around here. Dd goes to a local university & there are various times throughout the year there are crews filming different things. I am guessing what you saw will be for a movie that comes out in 2018 (or later).
