Today's lesson: We went to see Transformers 2. I'm not sure why we thought opening weekend was a good time to watch it. I think we're getting senile in our old age. We used to go to the movies just about every weekend before the kids. It was our hobby. Now we're making rookie mistakes again.
What did I learn?
- People are fucking insane. There was a line to see this movie wrapped completely down one side and around the corner of the building. We live in the desert where it's 109 degrees out. There's no shade at this particular theater. It's really not worth all that just to see a movie right now as opposed to a week or two later.
- The people in the ticket line don't bother to listen to the cashiers at the ticket window. We knew 3 people ahead of us that we would be moved to the "Timbuktu" line if we wanted to see Transformers.
- The theater's idea of accommodating all of the people who were patiently waiting involved tiny urine-sample-sized cups of (what had to be) hot water. Gee thanks Scooter. I feel so refreshed now.
- When it was time for another showing, 2 employees would count off patrons and then escort them inside so they could wait in line some more for the theater to empty out and be cleaned.
- The movie we went to see instead (because we're not bonkers): The Hangover. My nomination for the funniest movie of all time. I'm not even going to qualify that.
