Viewing Notes

My wife had to work and my oldest son was going to a birthday party (and seeing this movie as part of the party), so it was a great opportunity for me to hang out with just my youngest kid.

We chose to go to the cheap seats theater and catch the first matinee because it would only run us $3 a ticket. That came at a price though: it wasn’t digitally projected (I was ok with that) and the movie was sold out and packed with obnoxious parents and their kids. To be clear, the kids were all right (except for the little bitch with the light up tennis shoes in the front row who put on a light show every time she moved an inch; and being a 5 or 6 year old, she moved a hell of a lot), it was the parents who were the pricks.

The woman sitting next to my son probably updated her fucking Facebook status on her iPhone more during the movie than I have in an entire year. I imagine the updates went something like “At the movie”; “Still at the movie”; “Ha, that was funny!”; “this 50 gallon tub of popcorn is delic!”; “why am I fat?”; “I think the man next to me might try to kill me.”

Well, at least the last one was true.

But I digress.

The movie was a lot of fun, even if a lot of the homages were lost on the bulk of the audience. There was so much going on that I’ll need to view it again to get a good sense of the movie, without distractions.

Easily worth a second view!
