What's Next For The Marvel Movies

 
 
 

More Marvel Movies

As you know from the post on about Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy the Marvel movies are amazing! Today big news came from Marvel! I was watching the #MarvelEvent hashtag and they released their movie titles and film release dates for the next five years!

If you missed the big announcement, here's the lowdown


MARVEL STUDIOS UNVEILS PHASE 3 OF MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
This morning, during a special event at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed the films that will make up Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring a mix of fan-favorite characters and several heroes who will be making their big-screen debuts.
The next two films to be released by Marvel are AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON on May 1, 2015, and ANT-MAN on July 17, 2015. Marvel revealed the dates and titles of nine additional films through 2019, including upcoming Captain America, Thor, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy installments, along with films featuring Black Panther – who, Feige announced, will be played by Chadwick Boseman – Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, and the Inhumans.
The announced films are as follows:
· 5/1/15 – AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
· 7/17/15 – ANT-MAN
· 5/6/16 – CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
· 11/4/16 – DOCTOR STRANGE
· 5/5/17 – GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 (previously dated 7/28/17)
· 7/28/17 – THOR: RAGNAROK
· 11/3/17 – BLACK PANTHER
· 5/4/18 – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR PART I
· 7/6/18 – CAPTAIN MARVEL
· 11/2/18 – INHUMANS
· 5/3/19 – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR PART II
Ten films have already been released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with 2008’s IRON MAN. All 10 films opened at #1 domestically and have collectively grossed over $7.1 billion globally.
Two of these films, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS and IRON MAN 3, set records as the #1 and #2 domestic openings of all time with $207.4 million and $174.1 million respectively. MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS went on to become the third biggest film of all time worldwide, while Marvel’s IRON MAN 3 ranks as the sixth biggest film ever. They are the two highest grossing Super Hero films of all time.
Earlier this year, Marvel’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, which broke the April opening domestic record with $95 million, earned $714 million worldwide and is the #5 film of 2014. Most recently, Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY crossed $757 million globally after opening with a domestic August record of $94.3 million and setting an October debut record in China, where it has now grossed nearly $90 million. It’s the #1 film of the year domestically and the #3 film worldwide.

RecycleDrive Program Enters It's Fourth Year

As many of you know I am a CAA Ambassador and I am thrilled to tell you about the RecycleDrive Campaign! Read more below about what you can do to help the environment, help our community
and possibly grab some FREE lawn bags!

RecycleDrive CAASCO

 

RecycleDrive Program Enters It's Fourth Year


CAA South Central Ontario and Ontario Tire Stewardship have partnered up to once again bring the RecycleDrive program to Ontario communities. It is a fantastic campaign that helps you recycle more than just tires! This program allows you recycle accepted items for FREE and gives you a chance to help beautify you community!

What Will The RecycleDrive Program Accept?

  1. Tires (without rims)
  2. Motor Oil
  3. Oil Filters
  4. Batteries
and when we say batteries we mean ALL KINDS OF BATTERIES!
  • Household Batteries
  • Automobile Batteries
  • Marine Batteries
Chances are you have at least one of these items kicking around your house, garage and/or shed.

What Does The RecycleDrive Program Do For My Community?


Not only are you diverting these environmentally harmful products from landfills, the RecycleDrive program includes a Community Campaign! As listed on the campaign website

The AARS location that collects the most tires will designate a local school to receive $20,000 worth of greenery and products made from recycled tires to beautify the community school building, grounds or play space of their choice

Always looking to make our planet better for the next generation is so important. Listen to this great song by artist Jack Johnson about THE 3 Rs



I am sure that will inspire you to do what you can, but to give you an extra incentive, we wanted to let you know that the first 50 people who visit a participating AARS location with their recyclables will receive a FREE pack of yard waste bags!

When and Where Do I Drop Off My Items For The RecycleDrive Program?


Beginning Tuesday October 14th and running until October 30, 2014 is the time period for the RecycleDrive program. Locally in the Kitchener Waterloo area the AARS location for the items to be dropped off at is

Precision Kaster Auto
466 Phillip St.
Waterloo, ON N2L 5J2
519-725-4951

If you are outside of the area you can view other participating Ontario locations here

Keep in mind that the first 50 people who visit a participating AARS location with their recyclables will receive a FREE pack of yard waste bags, so you'll want to be quick to get in on the freebie!

What Else Can I Do To Help?


Remember that the community that collects the most tires will receive the beautification prize so be sure to SHARE this post! Use the hashtag #RecycleDrive and tweet to @CAASCO and RethinkTires to let them know you have participated!

*NOTE  According to CAA, Canada has one of the highest ratios of car ownership in the world. It is close to one vehicle for every two people. That is why the CAA Autogreen program was created. It helps everyone make simple eco-driving choices! Since CAA Autogreen begain the RecycleDrive program, it has collected 472 automotive and marine batteries, over 7,000 tires, 3,400 pounds of household batteries, and almost 8,000 litres of oil!

Fall Fun With Drayton Entertainment

Find What's On This Fall


If you follow our @Those2Girls twitter feed you know we tweet about Drayton a lot! We really enjoy the enthusiastic performances! It is amazing how many wonderful performances we have hers in the Kitchener Waterloo Ontario area.  Recently we had the opportunity to attend the Broadway Heroes performance and Footloose The Musical

Broadway Heroes


Broadway Heroes stars David Rogers. He has been the lead in several theatrical performances including Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and recently played the role of Jean Valjean at the Drayton production of Les Misérables this past summer.



These memorable performances and tributes to other Broadway Heroes are brought together in the production that includes many amazing extras! By request I was able to get video of this memorable moment with the violinist!



Be sure to check out Broadway Heroes until October 18th at the Dunfield Theatre in Cambridge.

Footloose


Footloose The Musical has all the 80s you can handle! Memories of those toe-tapping song that become dance party athems! While it Footloose had a lot to do with dancing, the focus on this performance is the storyline of Ren's struggle to find his place in a town struck by tragedy.



This show is so popular it will be extending the performance run at St. Jacob's Country Playhouse until November 9th. Many of the shows are sold out so we suggest you grab your tickets right away!

Coming Soon


Next up for Drayton Entertainment is The Little Mermaid and Snow White. You can read descriptions of these upcoming shows in this month's Stuff To Do Blast. Just scroll down to Upcoming Events section of the post!

Have you been to a production that you have just loved? Let us know! Leave a comment and tell us what you enjoyed most about it!

What We Are Thankful For - #ThankFALL

Disclosure: I am part of the Target #ThankFALL influencer program run by The Influential Network. I am compensated for this post but opinions are always my own!

Our #ThankFALL and #TrickorTweet Experience


If you have been watching our @Those2Girls Twitter Feed you know that we've had a very busy fall! We took it up a notch last week!  It began when we attended the Target Canada #TrickorTweet event at the Toronto Stockyards location. We were able to reconnect with many of what we call our "401 friends" otherwise knows as wonderful people we have met through our online networks! While we were there we were able to do a bit of Fall Fashion shopping for an event we were looking forward to attending.

Here is a look at our finds!

Diane got a necklace, dress and patent leather heels!


Angel got some great Mossimo jeans

and I got a maroon dress with a black Mossimo sweater.
 
 

Because let's face it, fall means SWEATER WEATHER



Then we headed over the the Halloween section of the store and spied some spooky decor


and loved meeting Target's mascot Bullseye!

After that we headed to Dundas Square and to enjoy the sunny autumn day!


What Happend Next


Later that week we were in attendance at the K-W Oktoberfest Rogers Women of the Year ceremony to support our friend Michele McBride Roach on her Professional Women nomination and of course we had to wear our new outfits from Target!

Guess what?

She won!

We were thrilled to be in attendance for her win!

Whether it's our 401 friends or local pals we are very thankful for all the wonderful experiences we have with them!


We would love to hear what you are thankful for! Leave a comment below about your blessings! Need a some inspiration? Follow the #ThankFALL hashtag and don't forget to participate in the @shesconnected twitter party happening Thursday October 214, 2014
