So I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. Visually it was stunning and although Johnny Depp was a little weird he really was great. The story line was a little bit different from the original and I think that it made it a little more family friendly. I do have a couple of random thoughts regarding the weekend though...
* Why is it Movie Theaters cannot figure out temperature controls. There is almost never a happy medium at the movie theater. It was about 8 billion degrees in the movie theater on Satuday. Normally during the summer you need to bring a winter coat but this time bikinis and swim trunks were needed. Which really would have been super gross with some of the people there.
* How does leaving a half empty cup save a seat? I guy was trying to save two seats. (One was for him), but he got up and went across the room to talk to friends. All he left was a half empty cup of soda in the cup holder to save his seat and then he freaked out that people were trying to take his seat. If you are not going to sit in the seats you are saving then you must bring some article of clothing that you can drape across the seats. I think there should be a rule book about this that everyone should know.
* Do you ever notice that the most annoying laughers always sit behind you at the movies? Especially when there is going to be a lot of funny stuff. We happened to sit in front of the family of weird laughers. I think that they didn't know when to laugh so they just did freakish laughs all the time.
* Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a must read. The entire series is actually a must read. I don't care if you are not a teacher and not 10 years old. You should read these books. No arguments. Just do it.
