Incredibles 2
Jun. 15th, 2018 10:21 pmAfter work today, I bee-lined to the movie theater in the hopes of catching a matinee of "Incredibles 2," thinking that the crowds would be less than the evening.
Boy, was I wrong...
So I bought my ticket and parked my butt in the seat. Lots of kids were in the theater, which is kind of expected for an animated flick, but there were some YOUNG kids in there, i.e. babies. Then, a hillbilly family wandered in, with kids, and grandma, who was a very large woman who was completely out of breath just walking to her seat. In fact, I didn't think it was her seat, as much as she stopped at the first available seat and refused to try to go further. The rest of her brood parked themselves two rows ahead.
Within the first ten minute of the movie, there was one screaming/crying baby, grandma was audibly breathing through her mouth, smacking her lips and making commentary on the movie, and then her grandson walked up to her and asked how she was doing at full volume. I'm guessing that grandma didn't think to bring her portable oxygen tank with her.
And that was all it took. I went back to the front counter and got a refund and left.
After coming home, mowing the yard, and getting cleaned up, I bought a ticket to the 7 PM showing of the movie, paying almost twice as much for the 21+ year old section to ensure no kids were near me. I finally got to enjoy the movie.
I LOVED IT! I love how they spend so much time on Jack-Jack and his developing powers, a quick spin through Edna Mode's home and her "lab," and the villains were so cool. It was well-worth a 14-year wait.
