the theater

I love going to movies, and I love movies so it makes sense. Our movie theater is pretty nice, after they re-did it. But of course the prices jumped up which is never nice.
Sometimes, just for a little adventure, my friends and I travel to the distant Omaha theaters on a Friday or Saturday night, like the Village point one or 20 grand theater.
But after my buds and I shopped at Oakview, we decided to complete our day with a movie at neighboring theater AMC.
We walked in and were immediately floored by the beautiful realistic star ceiling, and the upstairs AND downstairs arcade.
After taking a small tour, we decided to go back outside and buy our tickets. With much argue, we finally settled on Saw V. We got our very pricey $9 tickets no problem, even though apparently at AMC you have to have someone 21 years or older with you if you're going to watch a rated R movie. We found this out after the people behind us got booted out of the theater for trying to see the movie. We just kept our mouths shout about that part.
4 dollars was left over, and naively we were sure that'd buy us a small popcorn and drink. We were especially thrilled about the fact you get to butter your own popcorn. We get to the candy counter, but a problem is born.
small popcorn and drink? - $12
small popcorn? - $6
small pop?- $4.25
We all instantaneously started digging around in our purse for a quater. Finally we got our small Mr. Pibb, but they put so much ice in it the melted ice to pop ratio was very unequal.
Once we found and got settled in our theater, we were stunned by the huge screen. We were so distracted by the movie, we forgot about our small watery pop and popcornless bellies.
The movie experience was nice, but Saw V was stupid and gory and I almost peed my pants and threw up at the same time = )
