So I’m going to see Toy Story 3 at The Grove in 3D the other day. I’m a big movie theater buff so I like to have the best seats possible if I can. Sometimes there’s a sweat spot a few rows back, behind the handicap area where there are no seats in front of you (just some bars). Now this can be convenient because you can put your legs up on the bars and have some nice extra leg room. Well apparently someone else had the same idea, but decided to take it a step further. There was some middle aged guy sitting next to me (with a seat in between). He was all alone. At Toy Story 3…
I look over and he had already taken off his shoes! I could see (thank god not smell) his cheap white tube socks. WTF? This isn’t your house, dude! I don’t want to see that!
While the theater was starting to fill up a large group of Asian girls came in. They started to fill up the empty seats to the left of us. I could tell they were counting how many seats there were free. That’s when the panic started. What if they asked me to move down a seat! Then I’d be but INCHES away from this dude’s feet! Then what if I COULD smell them? The movie is already in 3D, I don’t need any extra sensory information!
I avoided eye contact long enough that the Asian girls must have figured it out on their own. Thankfully, I didn’t even think about the man next to me until around the end credits when I looked over at him and saw him with his 3D glasses still on and smiling like a little kid. Well, I’m glad he enjoyed the film.
The movie is great, BTW. I almost cried. You should see it. 5/5 stars!
