VIP Treatment

After dinner, we went to go see Wanted at Storm Cinema in the Odyssey. The Odyssey or pronounced The AH-dessee is a cinemplex come chain restaurants, come concert hall/skating rink come meatmarket club and science discovery museum (W5 for What Where who why when - which stands for What is it?, Where is it?, Who goes there, Why is it closed and When does it open - we coined this name b/c everytime we go there it is CLOSED like everything else in this city!!! AGH!!). I was wary that Craig wouldn't be comfortable sitting for 2 hours in a movie theater since he can't put his foot up. But at Storm Cinema, for £12 a ticket you can go VIP and watch a movie in one of three exclusive screening rooms which only holds 48 people and is equipped with huge bronze leather reclining chairs which are big enough to park an elephant's butt (I notice butts are the theme today). You also have access to the Director's Lounge, only exclusive to VIP ticketholders, where you can sip a pre-cinema coffee or cocktail while enjoying the waterfront view. Super cool!

Hop-Along just chillaxing and watching a movie.

Wanted was entertaining. I wouldn't say it was mindblowing! The effects were really good and the storyline was a cross between The Matrix, Equilibrium, and Office Space. I bypassed the mediocrity because I was too busy drooling over James McAvoy. *SIGH* I noticed that the movie audiences here are quite reserved. There wasn't a peep out of anyone. I felt like a jackass laughing out loud at the funny parts. I mean that's why you go to movies to share the experience with other people. It's a collective experience. Craig just chalks it up to Americans being over-dramatic. Whatever! *rolls eyes*

After the movie, I wanted to just chill and have a coffee or even an ice cream sundae. I saw an "American Diner" and was like, "Let's go in there and hang out!". There was a big sign that said Closed. What the hell kind of "American Diner" closes at 11pm? Who the hell goes home right after going to a movie?!?!? The biggest thing that frustrates me about this city is that there's nothing to do after 6PM but drink. It's like they force you to drink. You can't do shit other than get piss-faced drunk which I am not into.

I don't want to get drunk after a movie, I just want a fuckin' ice cream sundae!
