Anybody married or in a relationship knows about it, but don’t talk much about it. Here’s how it works, let’s say you want to see a movie like XMen 5 or Replacement Killers 2 or something like that, we can ask our lady if she would like to go; she will not agree to go. Depending on the moment it may be a simple ‘no’ or maybe a comment about juvenile movies, or maybe we don’t ask at all because the road has been walked down some many times before. So you wait until your on the road traveling on business in another city and slip out to the movies by yourself, or you call up your mail friend and catch a movie, or you catch a matinee sometime. The tyranny comes in with the Secret Life of Bees 2 comes out and she wants to see it. You will go, you don’t really care too much about the movie, but you will go for the relationship, the sharing of time with her. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work both ways, but we all know it doesn’t – at least not in any of the relationships that I’m aware of.
Gold Club
Gold Club, no not that strip club. Yesterday I popped over to the matinee of The Watchmen and it was somewhat a stylized mess. Tried to do too much in too little time. Anyway, on the movie website over here, it said a 11:20am start time. I show up and ask to purchase a ticket and am told that the 11:20 is for their Gold Class. See https://www.greaterunion.com.au/goldclass/index.asp. A gold Class ticket is $26 AUD and the 12:35pm showing is regular at a price of $10 AUD. So I go shopping for shoes for an hour and come back later. Even with the regular ticket, I have an assigned seat number in the movie house – “row H seat 10” – I don’t sit there, but I am suppose to.
I guess the Gold Class is a good way to take you lady to the movies and make a great night of it – as opposed to sitting in a cramped theatre with a guy coughing to your left and a woman with cat issue to your right. I wonder if the night time price for Gold is a bunch more? Lisa thinks it sounds pretty good.
Tyranny of the movies is absolutely without exaggeration the rule when it comes to seeing movies with the significant other… in my case Lily. I will want to go see something like W or Slumdog Millionaire (she liked the latter after she actually went) and she will simply refuse to go and tell me I shouldn’t be eating popcorn anyway because according to some Chinese belief it is bad for the respiratory system or at least bad for your Karma. Then comes “Water”, The YaYa Siters or the traveling sisterhood of levis or something like that and she will insist going… and damn sure not alone or otherwise you are going to be living in silent land for 2 days.
right on!
