Are you 55+ years old? Want to impress you significant other? Pt. 2

The last time I posted on this topic, I was covering the movie The American. Can you guess what I’m posting about this time? It’s…




You guessed wrong! It’s The Town.
Old people have been flocking in waves to see this. I don’t see this as an “old people” movie, like The American and Eat, Pray, Love were.
I don’t really have any funny stories to go along with this movie, maybe only a couple.
Old guy with his wife: “Two kids to The Town!”
Cashier ringing them up: “Well then I’m gonna have to see your ID!”
I can barely hold in my laughter!
Twenty-something year-old girl: “One ticket to The Home.”
I was ringing up her tickets at that time and had no idea what she was talking about. So I quickly scanned all the movies we currently had through my mind and realized.
Me: “T-the Town you mean?”
Girl: “OMG UR RITE OMG I’M SO EMBARRASSED HOW DID I GET “THE HOME” OUT OF “THE TOWN?!”
Me: *fakest laugh ever*
Obviously the above stories aren’t the best I’ve come across. I guess all the weirdos are staying inside for the winter.

Good Summer Movies

Since summer is (sort of) over I’m gonna post some movies that I saw and that I thought were worth watching! I put them in order of my favorite to least favorite, though since this is a list of movies I thought were worth watching then I liked all of them.
  • Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - saw it seven times so it must be good!
  • Inception - Really, really liked it!
  • Machete - Just saw it today. Funny with lots of action.
  • Dinner for Schmucks - One big wtf-fest. I kept asking my sister over and over “why did they do that? That was so stupid!”
  • Despicable Me -I wish I saw this a second time because I had the opportunity to.
  • The A-Team - The first movie I saw for free, haha. 
  • Toy Story 3 - Cried behind my 3-D glasses. ;_;
  • Going the Distance - Good because Charlie Day is in it.
  • Salt - I remember this movie was good, but I forgot what happened in it!
  • Piranha 3D - Lots of gore and nudity, I don’t know what to think about that.
  • Cats and Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore - Very cute movie about animals.
That’s it, now wait until they get released to watch them.

Do you see a question mark in the title of that movie?

No, there is none. Quit buying a ticket in the form of a question.
This happens all the time. Usually you know what movie you’re gonna go to before you leave your house, right? You don’t just walk up to the box office area and decide then, right? RIGHT?
Not where I work. Where I work, whenever I ask someone if I can help them it’s always the same thing, “I’m still deciding.”
After waiting at least 5 minutes for them to decide they finally come up to the counter. I saw Machete today so I’ll use it as an example…
“One ticket please.”
“To what movie?”
“Machete?”
Also, above the ticket-purchasing area there is a sign with all the movies that are currently out. Whenever they ask the question they stare up at it.
One of my favorite things was when Eat, Pray, Love first came out. No one could figure out the title of the movie so they just winged it…
“Eat, Pray, Run”
“Pray, Run, and Eat”
“Eat, Pray, Live”
“That Julia Roberts Movie”
Guess what? I’ve been working usher again lately!~
