My wife and I almost saw this movie. We saw the first forty minutes anyway. So why didn’t we see all of it? (Don’t worry, I want to see the rest of it, but I’m marking it as “consumed” so I can post a story.)
Since our baby arrived, we’ve had some really hit or miss times at the movies. The only movie we’ve seen together in the theater since the baby was born in June was The Kingdom. Not the greatest movie. Nonetheless, we keep trying.
Anyway, last night—a very cold night here—there was a fire alarm about thirty minutes in, so we along with everyone else left the theater. Then, since nothing was obviously on fire, everyone went back in and the movie resumed. About ten minutes after that, the theater manager on duty informed us that the theater indeed would be closing for the evening and that we could get free passes for another showing.
So everyone left again. Somehow on the way out, we managed to get four free passes when we should’ve gotten two. Oops. They were handing them out in big rolls, and my wife and I, each thinking we needed to get passes, got separated in the crowd. Hence four passes. We now have two more date nights prepaid at the theater. I promised her that she could pick the movie on both occasions. Anyone want to babysit?
