Life as I know it...

So, I went to see Prince Caspian yesterday (and it was great!), but I have to comment on the lovely group seated behind me at the theater. (If you detect sarcasm, you detect correctly.) The group included parents, grandparents, and several children. First of all, why in the world would you bring young children (including an infant) to Prince Caspian!? Hello - the whole movie is a series of battles - did they watch the previews?

So, as we first sat down, they didn't have enough seats for the whole family, and it was a whole (loud!) conversation about how in the world were they going to find places for everyone. Next, one of the kids proceeded to throw a tantrum because he wanted popcorn. The infant threw in several cries along the way as well. We made it to the previews, though, and things seemed to be starting to settle down. Then the seat jiggling began. At least one kid (or more - I gave up looking back) went back and forth behind us several times, pulling back on my seat every time they passed. If I sat back, my seat got pushed forward. If I sat forward, my seat got yanked back. Obnoxious!

Even with all of this, I really did enjoy the movie. At the end, though, we were yet again disgusted as several people just left their trash scattered throughout the theater. Come on people - it's just common courtesy to take out your own trash!

So, here's to a good movie, even in the midst of a crowd of obnoxious people. And here's hoping you have a better experience! :)
