Chris and I were so happy to get to go to Evansville for Valentine's Day on Saturday. His mom and dad kept the kids for us! We wanted to watch a movie, but there wasn't anything playing that interested us both. But, we found a movie called Australia that looked good. It was at a theater that showed older movies that were on several months ago. We had a hard time finding the theater and arrived a little late, but we didn't think there would be many people there. So, we bought our tickets and it was SO cheap...$3.50 each! Then we got our popcorn and ran through the hall because we were late. We get in the theater and it's nearly full....but there were 2 seats in the back all alone...perfect!! So, then we look around and see that absolutely EVERYONE there is at least 70....interesting! We were wondering why all these people were there and we came to this conclusion.
1. It was Valentine's Day
2. Tickets were cheap
3. The movie had to do with World War II
So, put all that together and you get a theater full of the WWII generation! We were laughing through the movie because when it was dark, you could look out and all the white hair glowed in the dark. The ones who had popcorn, only had the small sizes...because there were free refills....and they KEPT getting up for those refills. And, as soon as it was over, it was like a stampede because they all had to use the bathroom! No kidding, the line to the women's bathroom was LONG!
We'll never forget it and had a great time!! The popcorn there was the best we'd ever had. And, the theater still had all these movie posters up from the '80's. We couldn't resist taking some pics with those...So, here's our old movie poster pics...enjoy!! :)
