Matt and I saw a movie tonight. This is significant because Casino Royal is the last movie we saw in the theater. That was two years ago while we were still living in Korea. The movie before that was The Bourne Supremacy right before we left the States in July of 2004. So, you see, tonight was an exciting night!

Right before we left the house, we looked online at what our choices would be. The only film that we weren’t sure of was Seven Pounds with Will Smith and Rosario Dawson. I knew Will Smith was in it but I didn’t know anything else. We watched the trailer and thought it looked pretty good. Matt said, do you suppose it’s such and such? And I was like, yeah, but it kinda looks like such and such.

Let me stop right here and let you in on one of my pet peeves in life. I really, really dislike it when people give away movies or TV shows. It drives me nuts. Oh, I hate it. So, tonight when I shared my idea of what I thought it could be, I really never thought it would be that.  A few scenes into the film, we both realized that I was dead on. This is the first time that I’ve ever predicted anything correctly. Except for maybe Babe, I knew how that was going to end too.  Hehe.  I didn’t feel cool about this one though, I felt bad that I had ruined the movie for Matt. Uhhhhh. Even though we knew what was going on, we still enjoyed it. Both of us left with a bit of a sniffle. Maybe there were allergens in the theater or something. Who knows.

I think we’re going to make it a point to see more movies in the theater.  We both love going.  My main reason for not going was always money.  When I say I’m cheap, I mean it.  Actually, the reason we even “remembered” the theater was because I won a gift card at work.  So that’s what got us off our booties and into the theater.  There were a couple of previews that looked promising too.  I don’t want to set too lofty of a goal, I’m thinking we should shoot for something doable, like quarterly.  Haha.
