I went to see this movie at the cinema on a bit of a whim... I literally saw the advert for it on TV the other night and thought, that looks like a good film and decided to go watch it. And I'm so glad I did because I absolutely loved it!!
The cinema was quite empty, which is just the way I like it. Fewer people means less noisy rustling of food wrappers, less people talking, no annoying heads right in front of you as you can choose a seat without people around you, and less people walking in and out of the movie. I've never been able to get my head around people who have to get up in the middle of a film to go to the toilet or buy another snack - you've paid good money to see a film and it's not like just popping to the kitchen at home, it takes time to get there and back and then you might miss a crucial bit of the film. Obviously, in an emergency situation I would go, but generally I go to the loo before the film and make sure I have my snacks and a bottle of water with me. Films aren't that long either, so I do sometimes wonder why people can't wait til the end to go!!
Anyway, I was quite surprised because a couple of people actually walked out during the film! I've never walked out of a cinema, but to be fair, I usually go and watch things that I know I will like. Okay, the storyline was very far fetched and most of the things that happened in the film are beyond belief, but I have to say it was pant-wettingly funny. I laughed out loud. Alot. Even at bits that others didn't find funny as I was the only one laughing! But I don't care... I was thoroughly entertained and I really enjoyed it.
It was a couple of hours of complete fun and laughter. It wasn't serious in any way, and didn't require alot of thought or concentration. It had the requisite happy ending for that feel-good factor. I left the cinema in high spirits, even though I'd been feeling a little upset about the departure of Mr Special.
I thought I was feeling okay about things but it kind of hit me today. Maybe it's because I didn't let myself think about it before, perhaps it's the effect of it being Friday the 13th... who knows? I'm missing him alot tonight. I had a few tears on the way home because I thought that if he were still here, I'd probably be on my way to see him. Or I'd have plans with him this weekend. Instead, we're separated by a million miles and he's probably out and about and not thinking about me.
I think partly one of the reasons I'm upset is that I sent him an email yesterday and I have not had any reply to it yet. It's been a whole day. In the grand scheme of things it hasn't been a very long time, but he usually replies pretty quickly... so it makes me wonder why he hasn't replied. Grrr. I wish I didn't feel this way...
Off to bed now - have a busy weekend planned and I want to enjoy it, not feel crap. Goodnight!
