Brenan and I were really excited today to go see Harry Potter 6. We decided to go to an early showing (12:20 pm) to avoid the crowds since we like to talk during movies. Mind you, we didn't really add in to our plans that it was the first day that the movie was out. So, we get there and get our soda and Mike & Ike's (Brenan's favorite) and proceed into the theater... It's packed ! Luckily we find two seats right in the middle not too close to the screen, and low and behold, Brenan's seat is broken-ish. But it's ok, we've got our candy and soda and it's going to be great. As the movie plays, we realize that we're surrounded by tons of little little kids and old ladies that have never read the books. So what do we hear the ENTIRE time?? Kids talking, asking questions to their parents who have NEVER READ THE BOOKS! Then, they're kicking Brenan's chair, running around, blowing bubbles in their drinks, and to top it off, the 2 old ladies next to me keep pulling more and more food out of their oversized purses (bumping me each time) and asking each other questions about movie (that neither knows the answers to)! Will it never stop? No, it won't, because all of these kids only came with 1 adult. 5:1 ratio in a movie theater is not a good combination. So, if this wasn't enough, the movie last nearly 3 hours! We will wait to watch it again when it comes out on DVD to see if we like it any more the second time around. But, today's experience left us with a 5.5/10.
Lesson learned.
We'll look back and laugh at ourselves
