Oh. Hell. Yes.
May. 7th, 2012 11:45 pmGuess what I did tonight? If you said stayed home and watched Bones, you'd be totally wrong.
For once. So you're forgiven.
I saw a movie. *dances* Yes. I believe I saw my movie for the year, although Mums wants to see one for her birthday or Mother's Day or hell, maybe both, and I promised Widget we'd see the penguins blow stuff up in June so, hey. I'm going to see three movies this year. Le gasp!
Anyway. ( Avengers! )
In conclusion, I recommend it. Highly. And I don't blow my money (and it wasn't cheap. IMAX 3D, people.) on movies lightly, so you've really got to be awesome for me not to resent the admission fee even a little. Not even a little!
I will say this: the movie 'ends' and a quarter of the people in the over-crowded theater leave. I'm sitting there, pissed because I'm at the end of the aisle (theater was packed!) and I want to kick these idiots in their shins or something because it's a Marvel movie. Do you people know what that means? That means there's AT LEAST one extra scene thrown in somewhere!
And there was. And it was over and half the theater that was left decided to leave. And again I'm like, "THE. HELL. Are the credits over? No? Then sit your asses back down and wait for the damn movie to be over!"
Now. Let's discuss the events surrounding the movie: We get in line behind the only two people on the planet who seem to think you should smoke in line for a movie. Assholes. And Ari gets to the ticket booth first and is ready to go to the non-IMAX version because IMAX gives her a headache or something. I don't really care one way or the other, to be honest. Then she asks how crowded the IIMAX Max showing is (it was sooner) and the ticket girl says it's pretty empty, so Ari picks that one because we're both not big on crowds. We get into the theater (narrowly avoiding being knocked over by one of the smokers) and... it's full. Like, the first two rows are empty and the occasional seat here and there are free, but mostly it's the end of the aisles and single seats. FULL.
The hell? How is this "mostly empty"?! So... my first IMAX movie was spent sitting at the end of one of the rows in the back, swiveled slightly oddly because you've got to compensate for the railings in your way. And then people kept getting up and making me move.
All throughout the movie. And then! Then two really drunk guys come in and refuse to sit up front (by now these are the only seats that aren't singles in the whole theater) and instead sit on the steps behind me. But everytime I think they've gone and swiped someone else's seat while they're on a popcorn run or something, they'd move or say something and I'd smell them all over again.
Even with these distractions? Awesome movie. Go get your 'ship on.
