Went to go see Whip It last night -- surprisingly good! And happy-making! Also makes me want to write femmeslash -- in the largest fucking theatre I have ever seen. I swear that thing was bigger than my high school. I walked in and just stood there and gaped like the country bumpkin I am.
To be fair, my friend from New York did too, and when the irony of this was pointed out to her, reminded everyone that New York does not have room to build anything that big horizontally.
Also, they sell alcohol in the movie theatre. In the MOVIE THEATRE. I remember being astonished that they sold alcohol way out in the open in Rite Aid. Jack and Coke! Right in the front of the store in the aisle displays, right next next to the vodka and the tequila!
That doesn't happen in Washington.
Also, the room we watched the movie in (what are those called? I mean, Screen 15, but I'm not talking about the actual movie screen, even though I'm pretty sure that that was about four times the size of the one in the thatres back home, but the room it's in) was about the size of one of the movie theatres back in Ellensburg.
