if a tree falls in the forest...

the last time we went to the movies, we both were able to redeem free movies with our scene cards. then we bought a combo and got a 2-for-1 movie pass for next time. it almost makes up for the fact that we paid $37 for popcorn. okay, maybe not $37, but still highway robbery.

we found out the hard way that the 2-for-1 movie pass should really be called 2-for-1-movie-pass-only-on-mondays-wednesdays-and-thursdays. today was the day for the coupon to expire, so we ended up at the movie theatre.

when we initially got the 2-for-1-movie-pass-only-on-mondays-wednesdays-and-thursdays pass, we were about an hour early for the show (the bank job). we snuck into another movie that was just starting (spiderwick chronicles) and left after about half an hour. we quite enjoyed the first half an hour, so that's what we watched tonight. when we walked in, we were the only ones in the entire theatre! who says toronto is overcrowded? it almost felt like we were sitting in a blown-up version of our living room (with added essence de feetmixed with popcorn salt). then another couple came in, boo. and after that, another. and after that, another. i wondered only semi-audibly why there were strangers in our living room. but after that, no one else came in, so there were only 8 people in the theatre tonight. which leads me to my next question...if no one buys a ticket to see a movie, do they still show it? or do they just turn the projector off? what if someone wanted to come in halfway through? my guess is that the movie theatre staff shuts the room down and they have a dance party inside. i guess we will never know.
