Let’s go to the movies~!
Today was my day off. So I spent the morning relaxing, went shopping for a bit with my mum and then went to dinner and the movies with Kat, Melinda and Melinda’s neice Madison.
The drive-in is always fun and it’s particularly fun when you don’t get eaten alive by mosquitoes. We had a good screen because we got one that didn’t have the forest behind it. (Yay, less buggy). It’s also cooler now (especially at night) which I think helped to keep the bugs away. We decided to see The Dark Knight (again) and Get Smart.
We got there at around 8:45pm, got our snacks and headed back to the car. The first (and most important) task was to cheese the popcorn. Yes, Kat and I love the cheese that much that we brought our own shaker (which we had purchased the last time we went to the drive-in) to make sure our popcorn was filled with white cheddar goodness. The great thing about the drive-in is that both the tickets and the concession stand is cheaper, haha. Because you know, they seriously over charge at the theatre, which is really lame.
Anyways, we’re hanging out listening to the station waiting for the show to start and this truck with a trailer attached to the back pulls up and parks in the front row. They weren’t blocking our view or anything, but then we see them unloading furniture onto the grass. No, I’m not even joking. They had two couches and an arm chair. The chair I can somewhat understand, but really now, who brings a couch to the drive-in?
They weren’t blocking or bugging anyone so it’s not an issue, but it was just really… weird. The Dark Knight was MUCH easier to watch on the screen now that we weren’t “———————” THIS CLOSE to it. (We were in the third row when we saw it at the theatre). Just as good the second time around, but I started to feel a bit sleepy at the end because I already knew where everything was going. Regardless, I love Batman, haha. I also really hope that Angelina Jolie is in the next one as Catwoman. I’ve read various rumours that have said they’re trying to get her to do it. That would be so awesome.
After the first movie, Madison went into the trunk to sleep. Okay, that’s not a sketchy as it sounds. She’s eleven, and it was past midnight (also way past her bedtime) and Kat has an SUV. So to make it easier to sleep, she went into the trunk. That was after we ran back to the snack place and picked up some Smarties (and took a washroom break).
When we got back we were greeted by my favourite part of the drive-in. THE INTERMISSION SONG WITH THE DANCING SNACKS. Seriously, how can you not love it? They’re so awesome and so happy. I managed to record some of it…
After the amazingness of the intermission song and dance, Get Smart was on. With only one preview (and it was The Dark Knight… doesn’t that kind of suck? I love previews… so it was a bit disappointing). Get Smart was a really cute movie! There were some really great lines and some hilarious parts. It was nice and light which was a nice break after seeing Batman (because that’s definitely a dark movie).
Best line of the movie?
Maxwell Smart: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
The Chief: I don’t know. Were you thinking, “Holy shit, holy shit, a sword fish almost went through my head”? If so, then yes.
Work tomorrow at three and then somehow I got Saturday off. We’re packed this weekend (honestly, no sites left… we hardly have any tent sites left) so I don’t know if I’m excited or terrified.
