A description will appear someday. I promise.

It was so bad that I forgot to post about it.

So, we saw AVP on Saturday. It was bad. Not just because they got the alien gestation time wrong (spider-walk alien jumps on face, five minutes later, baby alien jumps out of stomach), which thankfully I was forewarned about so I didn't get mad, I just laughed. No, it was bad because it was just bad. BAD. They were in Antarctica and you never saw their breath. But I learned a lot--the movie explains why there are similarities in ancient civilizations that supposedly never had any contact--so if you're taking an Anthropology class, just save yourself all of that reading and just watch this movie.

But it was really fun because:

a) We were the oldest people in the theater except for the people that were escorting the 8 billion middle school boys

b) The movie broke 4 times, resulting in the middle school boys saying things like, "This is unbelievable! I can't believe I paid $5.50 for this!"

c) We got to see an almost-fight between two people over who was first in line at the snack counter, resulting in the poor 16-year-old manager saying, "Excuse me. Please! No fighting in the movie theater!", followed up by (I swear I'm not making this up) the 50ish woman saying, "He started it!" (This was all in front of her kids. Great, lady. Wonderful example to set. Now your kids are going to turn into another generation of beasts.

Did they find a way to play eight movies in Maine since AVP combines two?

Did that make sense? I'M TRYING TO SAY MAINE ONLY SHOWS 7 MOVIES IN THE WHOLE STATE!!
