Five Things - All About Movies

Five things from this week.

1. Kristi and I saw Iron Man on Tuesday. I liked it, but didn't think it was great. I actually liked Indiana Jones better. We saw it at Encore Park Cinema in Elkhart. They had a sign up that said Bring Your Own Tub and they would fill it with popcorn for 50 cents. We didn't know about the special and didn't have a tub. Then I looked at their regular popcorn prices, $7.00 for a large. I told Kristi it was time to find a tub. She said, "WalMart bag?"  They filled up the whole bag.  That's a lot of popcorn for 50 cents.
2. We took the kids up town to the Nappanee Theatre to see WALL-E last night.  My mom went along as well.  She also brought my niece and nephew who are visiting from Las Vegas.
   It was cool having three generations there together.  All three of the generations have seen movies as children in the exact same theatre.
   This was Landen's first movie theatre experience (other than Charlotte's Web when he was a baby.)  He had been looking forward to it and seemed to enjoy the experience.
3. The big kids were sitting in the row in front of us, but Makenna slipped into our row and sat on my lap for a while.  The streak still stands.
4. On the way up my mom explained to Carly and Zach that they wouldn't buy a bunch of treats since they had just eaten at Dairy Queen and since she only brought $20.  Carly quickly became concerned because "movies back home cost $10 a ticket."  We explained to her that the Nappanee Theatre was only $4.  She was amazed.
5. Kristi and I watched Premonition this week.  Yuck.  I didn't like it at all.
