Yeah, I remember that scene *G*<br /><br />I did twice walk out of movies. Once was many years ago. I'd gone with a friend to some arty movie about heroin that had "sky" in its title. All the people were cruel to each other and negative about everything and involved with drugs, and there was no one I liked. Or cared about. Or wished I cared about. So I apologized to my friend and walked out. Better to dive into my imagination for a while than sit through any more of those people's interactions.<br /><br />When the boy was little, we had a pass to some new movie about ninja kangaroos in a parallel world. We like ninjas, kangaroos, and parallel worlds, but not as combined there. He was bored and fidgety. I asked if he was enjoying it, and he asked if we could leave. So we did.<br /><br />And I'm with Joan on Star Trek. I also had some issues with it, as Pissenlit did, but overall, JT, I'll see your "awesome" and raise it to a "freakin' awesome." *g*Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-53720668659496600162009-05-20T22:07:11.031-04:002009-05-20T22:07:11.031-04:00Thanks for the tip, Pissenlit. :-)Thanks for the tip, Pissenlit. :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-75707022924649657902009-05-20T21:53:13.610-04:002009-05-20T21:53:13.610-04:00I love movie popcorn.

I'm going to have to sneak away from conference, though, because its out that week and I refuse to wait until I get home *g* <br /><br />I do miss the drive in -we haven't been in a few years. There, we bring our own snacks - pizza and popcorn. If we do the walk in theater, we buy the hugest refillable popcorn and eat most of it before the movie starts, then hubby goes for more *g* I love movie popcorn.

He was definitely becoming a portly old gent on his last visit to me. I hope you're feeding him dry crackers and water - and not too much of them! <br /><br />Great post, Beth! I used to be such a movie fiend. I was living in Central Sydney and great cinema was everywhere around me. These days, I'm starting to catch up on things I missed via the local equivalent of Netflix which I'm enjoying. Would like to see Star Trek on the big screen but I think realistically I probably won't. <br /><br />Last film I saw at the movies was courtesy of a visit to Sydney and a catch up with wonderful Annie West. It was a quirky little movie called Bottle Shock about the Californians winning the wine taste test against the French in the 70s. Had a lovely cast - Alan Rickman (sigh, drool, dribble), Chris Pine and Bill Pullman amongst others. One of the lovely things for me is that it was shot in the lovely Napa and Sonoma Valleys, places I'd been lucky enough to visit when I came over for the SF conference.Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-51506048456078150272009-05-20T17:25:59.450-04:002009-05-20T17:25:59.450-04:00Susan, It's been years since I saw Glengarry Glen ...Susan, It's been years since I saw Glengarry Glen Ross, but I remember I was with a guy who was on our sales team and it was hardly the kind of "motivational" film someone in sales should see. I'm on the fence with David Mamet. Some of his stuff is really good but lately...meh! Donna...you're lucky you got to go to the concession stands at the drive-in. My mom wouldn't let us out of the car! She brought our own popcorn and sodas from the house and used to complain it didn't taste the same as the stuff from the snack bar.
