I kind of get it. It's like a concert. Pay "general admission" price and
sit in the nose-bleeds. OR, pay a premium and maybe get to sit in the
front row.

Right? I've done it. (You're welcome, Tina.) (Quite a few times.)

But there is just SOMTHING about that which is not congruent with a visit
to an amusement park. I can't put my finger on it. (But if I could, I'd have
to wash that finger afterward.)

MAYBE... it's the frequency of the application.

A concert, you pay more for ONE event. One.

At a park, you get to use it again and again and again. MAYBE if it was a la carte,
PER ride (lower cost, of course) then it would not be so bad. I don't know. Have not
been in that situation since 2003. I'm just old, I suppose. I need to be more HEP to
new things.

No one should travel into the outside for a few hours. Bones is having a mental breakdown!
I'm not seeing it.

But then again, I'm not a regular "over there".

What is he doing than is different than what others (cough cough haaaaack! phlegm-ball) have done?

Do you mean number of consecutive posts???

My friend went to see Downton Abby and said it was fantastic. I can't wait. Hoping it comes to streaming soon.
And just watched El Camino...LOVED it. Aaron Paul should get the Emmy!!! Breaking Bad was the best show on tv EVER, imho:)
Aaron was amazing in El Camino! I loved it! So nice to have a sort of epilogue to the series and revisit some of the old "friends"! (I agree about the Emmy!)

I'm thinking of seeing Downton tomorrow or next Tuesday (at AMC they have big discounts on tickets on Tuesdays). If I go early in the day, maybe I can avoid seeing (gasp!) other people in the theater! :D

LOL.

I went to see "Panic Room" at the early early matinee.

Me. Two other people. ENTIRE theatre.

Where did those two people sit?

DIRECTLY in front of me. Next row down.

I merde you NOT.

For a long long time, I thought it was "Downtown" Abbey.
You're not alone there, I did too at first! lol

That has happened to me as well. Whether alone or with someone it just rarely failed others were right in front! :D

That was in 2002. The NEXT time in a theatre was 2015.

13 YEARS. YEARS!!!

That is how disgusted I was with the "big screen" experience.

And... 13 years later... a large popcorn and large "Lotta Lemon" was $15.

How is it that "the movies" still draw people in??? I do NOT understand it at all.

We have only a 36" CRT TV and are just as happy to stay in to watch anything.

Back to la cucina.

EDIT: I hope the Tina documentary never comes into being. It would mean another
trip to a theatre. Counting... 4 years.

    BTW: Cedar Point rules!!! (Sorry @Katmar... it has it all over Kennywood.)

    No problem. Would you believe I have NEVER been to Kennywood? We had a place much closer to home called West View Park...about 2 miles from where I grew up. It's probably online somewhere. Had 2 different roller coasters. Was enough for me. Then, for MORE excitement, we would go to Conneaut Lake Park (also online) for the rides, the beach and water skiing. Not sure why I never made it to Kennywood, but I'm sure I am in a VERY small minority for that.:blink:

    Goodnight, Ladies and LoopyLovingLuminous Bear. Sleep well, sweet dreams and a better tomorrow :wub:

    I'd like to see additional movies about Jesse Pinkman and what direction his life goes in Alaska. You KNOW there is a lot of good inside of him.:)
    Let me know if you liked the movie! :)
