Dinner And A Movie I Didn't Want To See

On Saturday my friends and I went to go see The Departed. We left a couple hours early so we could go eat at a restaurant.

Before we went to the restaurant, we just went to the theater first to get our tickets. Well since the movie is 18A, they had to ask me for ID. Of course I had no way of proving I was an adult. But I convinced them that I was. So the nice guy at the box office gave us the tickets. So then we headed for the restaurant (it is walking distance away).

We ate at Boston Pizza, yet I didn't get pizza; I got ribs. They were awesome, honey garlic :P.

So we went back to the theater and went to the hallway with doors on each side that leads inside to the movie. Well, you have to show your ticket to the person at the beginning of the hallway for proof that you are not sneaking in obviously. So I showed her my ticket. She saw the 18A. She looks at me in the eye. And she asks me, "You got ID?" Damn. Can't she see that I have already dealt with someone by even having the ticket? So there was no way she was letting us through. She took her job way too seriously. I could see you stopping someone who actually looks 13. But really, I was 2 feet taller than her. Anyway, we had to exchange our tickets for a movie that I didn't want to see. We ended up seeing "Flags of our Fathers." It was a very well done movie. But it wasn't a movie that is Saturday-night-material. On a Saturday night I would want to see something that has a lot of action and has an adventurous plot. Flags of our Fathers is about World War II. Good acting, good directing, but it's depressing. You don't want to be driving home in the car on Saturday night thinking about war. Nevertheless, we had fun.

By the way, I am home sick right now writing this article. *Cough* *cough*.
