lets all go to the movies

I went to the movies again this weekend. I like going to the movies here although I don't go that often because I prefer western movies and there aren't that many released here. But Star Trek was just released over here so I figured I would check it out. It is lots of fun, a few times I was the only person in theatre laughing because it was a joke that didn't really resonate for Indians.
So, why do I like going to the movies here? Because...
- it is only $5
- you have assigned seats so you can pick where you want to sit and you can get there at the last minute (although this also means that usually for the first 10 minutes of the movie people are still coming in)
- the seats are so comfy!
- you can order things at the refreshment counter and have them bring it to you
- it is air conditioned.
- there is an intermission in every movie. The funny thing about that is that in Bollywood movies the intermission is built into the script. For Hollywood movies it isn't, obviously. So quite often they just stop mid-scene for intermission. Luckily in this one the break was more convenient. But I'm all about these intermissions because that way you can go to the restroom and not miss anything.
I wonder if there will be anything good out this weekend? It will probably be another month before something I want to see comes over here, but hopes spring eternal. And if I'm really in the mood there are always plenty of silly Bollywood movies to watch.
Aside: root canal is finished and today apparently my face is kind of swollen so I look funny. Oh well. It was worth it; my head felt like it was going to fall off last week.
