and a final note
May. 21st, 2003 02:26 pmI keep forgetting to mention this.
When I went to see Bend It Like Beckham (a fine, excellent movie, especially if you like girls and soccer, and I am firmly in both camps), the theater was almost empty. I was surprised, but not too surprised -- I did go to the last show on a Wednesday night,after all, not a big movie night. Though I keep hearing the movie's so damn popular that perhaps I should have been more startled than I was. I guess I'm just used to being a minority taste.
Actually, the theater *was* empty, except for me and the boy, when we arrived not ten minutes before showtime. Completely, utterly empty.
And it was our anniversary.
But before any naughtiness could begin, alas -- even merely antisocial naughtiness like razzing the previews aloud or talking back to the screen -- we were joined by one lone woman, two aisles back.
Later, two other couples snuck in, just before the movie started.
Darn.
Maybe next time.
