We polished off a big tub of popcorn, and didn't get halfway through the two tankers of soda that went with it.
Also, later on, we watched Malificent at home. I enjoyed this too. I liked the revision to the story, but Sleeping Beauty will always be my favorite Disney movie. Without spoiling anything, I was happy to see they kept the same cane rap that the original had for the initial curse.
Took my wife to see The Hobbit at X'mas time. We wen to a "VIP" theater and it was rather nice. The seating is all double seats that are kind of like love seats and they come with a small table attached to the arms. You prebook your seat (and pick where to sit in the theater as well) and you can order dinner and drinks and have it all served at your seats. This is an 18 and over, 'adults only' theater....woohooo
We had hamburgers followed by popcorn and Smoothies...........LOL. It was good but the food was overpriced so the next time we go there, we'll eat before or after elsewhere. But it was a nice treat as a one-off.
The movie of course was excellent. I'm trying hard to let go of my angst over them adding stuff that was not in the book so they could make a third movie. My wife says I'm like an old dog worrying a bone but it pisses me off and it's a money grab plain and simple.
The 3D technology has sure advanced since the first, and last, time I checked it out back in the late 70's. Then it just gave me a headache. Now it's really impressive and easy on the eyes.
All told, we'll be going back again.
We bought Malificent, it's another good movie!
