Movies

Last night I took my nephew Kevin to the movies. He and I usually get together to see some of the more interesting movies that Shelly wouldn't go to. Some of the classics we have seen include Alien vs Predator and Alien vs Predator II & Tropic Thunder. Quality stuff. Last night we saw the new Tom Cruise movie Valkyrie. A true story of a German uprising against Hitler. The movie itself was good and we really enjoyed ourselves. Some of the most fun we have however doesn't even involve the movies. Take for example last night. The movie was packed. Every row was full except for the customary "empty" seat people leave between each other. Anyway, Kevin has one of these empty seats next to him. He felt fortunate and even used it to hold his coat. About 10 minutes into the movie however, this old man carrying a bag, stopped at our row and eyed the empty seat. We both stared straight ahead hoping he would move on, however he started down our row and sat in the open seat. Kevin politely moved closer to me to give the guy some room. We continued to watch the movie, when suddenly the guy opens up what looks like a garbage bag and begins to take food out of it. Kevin looked at me with his "What the?" face. The man first opened up a pizza box and proceeded to eat a slice. Now we know they don't sell pizza at this theatre so we know he smuggled it in. This started our creative minds flowing and we began ad libbing what would happen next. Poor Kevin tried to keep a straight face as I whispered "I think he's eating a lobster." Then it became a turkey dinner with "all the trimmins." At one point we even suggested he may be Hitler coming to see his own movie. A few well timed flatulent noises only added to the hilarity of the moment. Kevin was a good sport and we eventually settled in and enjoyed the show. I'm already looking forward to the next movie...Paul Blart Mall Cop seems to be a likely candidate!
