New Year's Movie

Last night I went to the movies with Amy, Levi, Dylan, Mike, Kristina and Allie. It was New Year's Day and by the time we got to the theatre we could tell that about everyone else in Saint John had had the same idea as us, "Why not go to the movies?!" There was nothing else to do I suppose, like the mall was closed and besides that, there's nothing, but this place was PACKED!!

The movie that we had wanted to see, "Darkness", ended up being sold out by the time we got there. And the only other movie playing at that time that we could still get into was "Oceans Twelve", which most of us had no desire to see. So we decided to wait at the theatre from 7:00-9:25 to get into the late show of "Meet The Focker's". We bought our tickets right away to avoid it being sold out again and sat down in the food area for the next two hours.

The minutes TICKED by, god, it took ages! By the time we had bought our food and went up to get our tickets ripped the woman told us that the first showing of it still wasn't out yet! And that we'd have to wait another twenty minutes before we could get in. SO, we waited again. We bought our food and everything and went back up to that pimply movie worker. She finally ripped our tickets and told us to join the LINE-UP that had now formed ALL THE WAY down one hall, around the corner and ALL THE WAY down another right back to the food court! We were at the VERY end, and there was going to be NOW WAY that we would get seats together!

Mike and I decided that the "bright" idea would be to walk all the way to the front of the isle to save seats and when they opened the doors, we'd run through, pushing away everyone else that had waited in line before us. We stood there in front of the line for a good twenty minutes before I started to feel a bit bad. Even though we had waited just as long as those people, they were in line rightfully before us, so my "good samaritan" inside told me to go back to the end of the line where I belonged.

By the time our part of the line reached the doors to get in, there WAS quite a few more people behind us then in front of us and waiting in line wasn't that bad anymore. And when we got in, we even noticed that there was a whole row almost that we could snag.

The movie wasn't bad, It was actually really funny! Even though I've never seen the first one before yet. It made it even better I guess that all those other people were there too, because when everyone laughed, it was louder, and that made it funnier. There was one guy back there who sounded like fucking santa clause or something! But that made me laugh even if it wasn't funny.

Waiting so long for the movie was the only bad part really. I haven't gone to the movies twice in a week in so long. I haven't really enjoyed a movie in a while either... But this one was a good choice, and I heard from people that "Darkness" sucked anyways.
