Drama at the Movies
So I went to see 'The Hunger Games' last night ... will post squee in a minute LOL
First there was drama ... so I was seeing the 7:45 showing with a bestie. I had to stay a little late at work (of course) and when I got there at about 6:15 the bestie was already in line ... so there went dinner plans. But I should have expected that given the buzz for the movie :D.
So ... we weren't too far back in the line, but people had been saving spots, etc. There was this guy behind us though, with his daughter, and he suddenly started talking to this teenager on the other side of the ropes (further up in line) about how he was just going to cut in front of everyone because all these people were saving spots and cutting in front of him. O.o ... The teenager tried to talk to him sensibly, but ... no. The guy wasn't having any of it. So then, a theater employee comes around to make sure everyone has actual tickets, not just Fandango printouts and the guy starts talking to her about how do they know these people weren't cutting, etc. Really guy? They're not going to sell more tickets than seats in the theater, chill. So THEN the line starts moving, and a couple of teenage boys in front of us were going to cut the line to be with their friends who were already there, but there wasn't room for them, and the guy starts telling the teenagers to go back of he'll hurt them ... like punch them! The boys spoke with some of the employees about him and I don't know if the guy got kicked out but ... wow. And I feel bad for his daughter.
There were a couple of chatty people around us ... so I'll need to see it again :D :D (not a hardship LOL)
I didn't get to eat dinner until 11:00 last night ...
OH! And I ran into two kids that used to go to the Y when I worked there. One was working there in the theater ... and I'm friends with her older sister on FB O.o ... The other was one of the teenagers who was in front of me ... he had to be about 14 ... I knew him when he was 5 and 6 ... How old did that make me feel?????
Now on to the movie ... Epic love!!!!!! It is a great companion to the book ... and the movie had some really interesting shots and I loved the music and the look and the costumes and I felt the casting was spot on!!! I loved loved loved Effie Trinkett and Haymitch!!!!!!! Just perfect!! And my love for Peeta has grown to epic proportions LOL ... I can't wait to see what they do with the two other books!!!!

I hear that they are making 3 more movies, so the last book will get two most likely.

Really? Three more? I'm not sure if I agree with that ... that's kind of becoming the norm now, but it's not always necessary LOL ... but oh well I'll go see them all because damn the books are good!
