the heinous movie experience

i was sitting on my bed drinking my french press coffee when a thought just struck my mind. i never blogged about my heinous movie experience. so i dropped everything and am doing just that.

so roughly two weeks ago me and miss rabbit used our free movie tickets to go see gran torino. the movie was good. the experience was not.

first of all we went to the varsity theater, a "really old and kept that way" type of theater. after getting our tickets the man gave us directions to the theater room.

go back outside

he said

and walk down the alley until you meet the stairs and then turn left into the theater.

we were startled! walk outside and down a dark alley to the theater? scream! so we were brave and walked outside and down the alley and as we were chatting, opened up the door. scream! for real! as we started opening the door a tall and odd looking man was coming out. he had surprised us so badly.

well, ladies. scary movie. scary movie!

he said with a clown like grin.

we were officially scared. but we moved on and entered into the actual theater. it was dark. small. cramped. and empty. and located off an alleyway. where anyone could walk in. we got bad vibes.

we sat down anyway and waited for the movie to begin.

just as it started. we heard the door open and footsteps resounded. we clasped hands and waited. the tall and odd man came in with another man. but this man was old and scrubby looking. sort of like a hobo. we were alone. with them. they stepped up and sat behind us. i wished at least that they could have sat in front of us!

ten minutes later the door opened again. fortunately this time it was two women. five minutes later, two guys. the guys were from school and were basketball players. both were very tall and dressed like wangsters. we breathed more easily.

the movie went on. the quality was bad, it wasn't loud enough, and the walls were so thin that we could hear the movie nearby.

in the middle, the hobo man had to go to the bathroom so he got up to leave. he started walking to the end of the row but walked into a wall. he cursed loudly, nearly fell upon miss rabbit, and hobbled back across the row and down the stairs.

and lastly there were the two women. who laughed a lot. and not the good laughing, but the bad laughing. the shrill, annoying, and brain piercing kind.

me and miss rabbit kept sneaking outraged glances at each other during the entire length of the movie.

after we go out, we ranted. and decided that that was the last time we were going to attend the varsity movie theater.
