Shout-out to my movie going soldier girl, IDK My BFF Jill. Who sat though not one, not two, but three movies in a row Last Saturday. 
Our intentions were to break up her work day and see Coraline. We both had xmas movie gift cards from my mom dukes to burn and I thought we would be straight going to a matinee with a $14 card each. Turns out you have to pay for 3D these days. (It’s hard out there for a 3D Pimp.) So Providence Place Movie theater spanked us for $11.25 each while the other movies were playing for $7 and change. I figured at that point we should see as many movies as possible, for free, out of spite. So we saw Coraline, Push, and He’s just not that into you. From 12:00-7:00pm. After we lifted our numb asses out of there our parking tab was $10. I think we broke about even – but the point is if you ever want to have a “movie day” you feel free to take yourself to the PPM movie theater at matinee time and pack a lunch. Apparently, no one really cares, nor works past the ticket booth.
For the record: Coraline was amazing. Every little kiddie should be taken to see this movie. The imagine quality was actually worth the big ticket price, so suck it up and support our boy Neil Gaiman. My only regret is that I didn’t sit closer because rumor has it you miss most of the 3D jumping off the screen if you sit towards the middle to back of the theater. Boo on that.
Push is good for 8-12 year old boys. Beyond that age group it’s just.. cheezy. Especially the Asian guy with bad contacts who kept yelling the entire movie. ahhhhhhhhhhh. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Then everyone’s ears bleed. Please. Someone hit him with a pole in the face area already.
Not that into you was ok. I’m really let down with the pop culture hoes in my general area at the movie theater though, man you all gave my gender a bad name with your sorry ass ohhhhhhhs and ahhhhhhhs. The movie simply highlights the difference between women and men, especially the games we play while dating. Apparently the women in my section had never been played and kept gasping at every foul move the men made. Which was just abysmal for the general surrounding population. At least it remains consistent that Jill and I will sit directly next to the most obnoxious person in the place as to test my patience, or boxing skills.
Mad props to Jill for hanging in there and working until the next morning or something to get everything done. Don’t forget, if you want to take advantage of an already bankrupt & up for sale entity – providence place mall is for you. If you don’t want to leave after 6 hours of movies feel free to check the garage out for illegal makeshift condos – they might have resurfaced by now.
