A Movie
C and I went to see Sinners on Saturday.
Eli 23.9 had seen it on an IMAX screen in Lusaka. Tickets were $1.50. He said the experience was incredible, and so was the movie.
I was pumped.
We walked in right at the "start" time listed online. This means watching 10-15 minutes of trailers, but C likes trailers, so it was a calculated move.
Two trailers later, the movie started.
That was much less wasted time than I expected, so I was pleased. A bonus!
The opening scene was strange, but I'd heard it was a strange movie (I hadn't heard much else, other than it was terrific). It was quite compelling, early on, but it didn't quite match up with what little information I had concerning what the movie was about.
Entertaining, though. Quite powerful at times.
I was confused, though. Was The Weekend supposed to be in this movie?
We had an extremely silly moment during the movie when we were both going whir whir whir with our recliner buttons and collapsed into a laughing fit. It doesn't matter much what I do with C because we always have fun. Since we were the only ones in the theatre, it didn't matter.
Eli told me I had to stay through the credits because there was another scene post-credits, and it was important. I knew the movie was 2+ hours, so when credits rolled after 1:40, it seemed early.
"I really think we just watched the wrong movie," C said.
"I'm with you," I said. "Entirely wrong movie."
As it turned out, our tickets said to go to theater 6 and we went to theatre 5. When you walk in and see trailers, though, it reinforces that you're in the right place. Plus, the first scene was super intense and almost experimental, which matched what we expected.
We're going to see Sinners again on Thursday. I wonder what we'll see this time.
