Y8 D178

I slept so soundly last night it's not even funny. Solid as a rock. I am very happy about this. Had bizarre dreams, but don't care because dreaming means I went REM and that is good.

We saw Fantastic Beasts yesterday. Before I tell you what I think of the movie, let me fill you in on the adventure we had first. The theater we went to for Finding Dory we really liked and decided we would go back to again. They have big comfy reclining chairs and more importantly, assigned seating. That's the part I like. You don't have to get there crazy early and it's all good. On Friday night we bought our tickets. Now when you buy the tickets you pick your seat. Depending on the auditorium the film is being shown in, there are rows A-G or A-F. We picked an A-G time. Online it doesn't look as close as it is in person. We had C9 & C10 at 10:50. We got there at about 10:30 and sat down. Immediately B had problems. She asked me to go see if there were different seats. There weren't. At 10:51 she decides we should leave and exchange the tickets for later. Sigh. I was a bit snappy because you couldn't have told me this before the lights went down? We went to the box office and made the poor guy go through every floor plan for the next four seatings until she found one that worked for her in row F, 4 & 5. This was in a smaller theater with only A-F rows. At 4:50. Ugh. We now had 6 hours to kill.

Went back home, she took a nap, we did some cleaning, and went back out at 4:30. Much happier with the new seats. She was. I wasn't. I hate watching movies at an angle. Drives me nuts. But whatever. Now, as for the movie itself? EXCELLENT. Well done. Worth your time and money. Just a great movie overall. Way too many previews and commercials before hand, but the movie itself was awesome. I highly recommend it.

We stopped at KFC for a late dinner as we didn't get out of there until almost 8pm. The movie itself didn't start until almost 5:20 thanks to literally a half hour of previews and commercials. Two hours and 15 minute run time followed by 10 minutes of bathroom lines. See why I wanted to go to a 10:50? Anyway, we stopped at KFC, not happy with the service or the food, but it's our own fault for picking there.

Got home around 9, watched Runway and Criminal Minds and we both went to bed around 11. No plans for today other than grocery shopping. Which I may push to tomorrow. We'll see.
