  • I did something today I haven't done in donkey's years, i.e. go to a movie all by myself.

    Tried to get Dmitry to go with me, but he looked stunned at the very notion of him seeing - on purpose - a movie about ballroom dancing and civilly refused, though he urged me to
    go on ahead.  What's odd is, it was a film with which I was
    totally unfamiliar, only noticing it on the marquee outside Hulen Mall
    as I was stalled in traffic.

    Mad Hot Ballroom. 

    Turns out it is showing in this area only
    at the UA Hulen 10, and there was a feature starting in 30 minutes, so
    I grabbed my purse and headed back to the area I'd just been in. 
    It was not what you'd call packed, as I believe there were eight of us in toto.  But by jingo, we eight had a spiffy time!  If you live where you can get to it, do so; if not, keep an eye out for it to show up at Blockbuster or Netflix.

    It's inspirational in more ways than one . . . hey, if a bunch of fifth graders can learn to dance the merengue, then so can I.

    And Don.

  • The three theaters in that area are all like that, never packed. I kind of like it even though the seats aren't as comfortable as in the bigger theaters. I've always prefered non-stadium seating (especially while pregnant. easier to get up and run out in the middle. haha).

    and comment on a different post. yeah no one stays up in the booth. haha. Especially when the theater isnt doing great buisness, so budgets are low all around & the # of people working was probably low. (although probably more than what we have at our theater most weekdays!-2 of us).

  • What slayed me was how many theatres were showing "Madagascar". At least four or five.

    What's the point of building these multiplex theatres when there are insufficient numbers of movies to show in them?
