Tuesday night at North Hills. Met Tonia for dinner & drinks beforehand. Lots of classy-looking ladies around, and we figured many of them would be joining us for the movie.
We finished our drinks and entered the theater in the nick of time, just as the previews were starting. We walked down the hallway, turned the corner, and found ourselves faced with a full theater. There were not two seats together anywhere in the stadium-seating area. So, we turned our attention the section way down front, and found that the only space available was on the very front row. We snagged two seats in the exact middle.
The fun thing about being on the front row was looking behind us at everyone in the theater, and counting the men. There were exactly FIVE men in the whole theater. And remember, the theater was FULL. 250+ capacity. That’s a lotta ladies! And many of them were dressed up in fancy labels. We saw a few girls at the bar pre-movie drinking Cosmopolitans. I loved the aura of the whole experience.. I was surprised, though, that it was a sell-out movie on a Tuesday.
The front row where we’ve been forced to sit is too close to the screen. We spent the entire movie pushing backward to try to see more, and having to move our heads from side to side to see what was happening on the entire screen.
The movie itself was entertaining. All the familiar faces are back, albeit a bit older. The movie was good. Fairly predictable, but fun. The series was better. Still, it was nice to revisit them. I hate that Stanford isn’t with Marcus anymore, and hate even more who he ended up with. I don’t like the part where Carrie blames Miranda’s comment for Big’s behavior — it was a pretty thin excuse for their longest ever fight. But, the rest was fun and entertaining – i liked seeing how their lives ended up.
I’m going to see it again next week with another friend, and i hope to get better seats this time!
