I keep forgetting that People who don't know what an
idiot I am might just take me Seriously.
So being more than a little Emotionally-Charged - after seeing:
The Descendants - for the second time
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Supporting Cast
Best Cinematography
etc.
I burst into the Lobby and approach the Ticket Counter where
three young unsuspecting - and unknowing - employees are
innocently chatting.
'By any chance is there a midnight showing next Thursday
for John Carter?' I ask.
'No ma'am,' the nice young guy replies.
And this is when the Other two nice young People discreetly
exit - when I hit them with:
'WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE YOU ANYWAY?
AT THE OTHER PLACE WE HAD MIDNIGHT SHOWINGS ALL THE TIME.'
'Well - it just isn't that kind of movie,' he says - all the
time slowly moving his hand to his side - probably planning
to dail 911 in his pocket - thinking that this old woman is
most likely NUTS.
Then I begin to realize what I have done - so I try to act calm
and make small talk.
'Do ya mean by that kind of movie - the last Indiana Jones or
Iron Man?'
'Yes ma'am.' He says - wishing he had never come to work tonight
- having to deal with the likes of me - and all.
Knowing it is too late to make amends - I mumble something and walk
briskly - out to my car - head held high - but feeling stupid and
foolish inside...
ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT I HAD LEFT MY PURSE BACK IN THE THEATER
Not to worry - I told myself - for hadn't I been the only person
watching that REALLY GREAT MOVIE?
Actually - I had enjoyed the Solitude of it all - and it Really made
me think that I had spent the last two hours -
In A Home Movie Theater.
as I passed through the lobby and went back out to my car for the second time - I flashed them all - a Big Smile - but they pretended not to see me.

I am planning to watch it this weekend. And Hugo. FJ has mentioned it so often that i am intrigued.
So -FJ likes Hugo - does he.
I would have seen that one but it wasn't showing at the theater that I frequent.
But let me tell ya - nicrap - I may never watch that Artist movie -cause I'm plenty mad about a French movie winning over a Really good American movie.
Will those People never get it Right - nicrap?
They think that they can vote for just anyone they want. Don't they know how that must have made the Descendant People feel?
That is such a good movie - and all - But I'm Not Wrong - about that - at least.
...well, as somebody who is neither American nor French, i think i can afford to sit on the fence this time. ;)
Sitting on the Fence can be Tricky - nicrap - depending - of course - on whether you are straddling it - or have both legs on one side.
...lol! To listen to you one would think i am an egg.
nicrap - The one who uses Words - that the rest of us fear to use - is The Champion - for he has conquered The Greastest Fear Of All - and that is the fear of not being able to express one's self to the fullest.
Humptey Dumptey knew this - nicrap - but he allowed himself to fall off of the Wall - something You Will Never do.
I Know That.
and anyway - nicrap - even if someone pushes you off of the wall - the important thing is how quickly ya get back up there - For Good.
I Call It Rising Out Of The Ashes.
