The Two Tickets

Dec 16, 2003 00:23

I wrote this last year after The Lovely Emily and I nearly got killed at the 7 pm showing of TTT. On opening night. At the most popular theater in town. Because we are morons. Not, however, as stupid as this journaller's roommate. So it seems like a good time to repost it. And yes, this is exactly what happened. Mostly.

The Two Tickets
( And outside the war cry of the eight o'clocks, denied entrance, went up like a great howl of rage: 'WE BOUGHT OUR TICKETS ON FANDANGO!' )

best of, movies, lord of the rings

...and people have to ask why the Summit is my favorite place to shop/see movies/stage coup d'etats.

I was unwise and chose the Summit for the Great Battle of the Blair Witch Project. Upon hearing the words "sold out," I panicked and made a decision that obliterated my team's morale--we would instead view Deep Blue Sea. I learned much from that loss and have made my decision regarding ROTK. I'm staying in Cullman County.

Oo, good call. The Lovely Em bought tickets for a 2:45 pm screening tomorrow--at the Rave.

You know, there's some great Tolkien joke about losing morale upon seeing the Sea, but I can't quite make it come together.
