Highs and Lows in Regal Cinemas Theater
- Short line at ticket booth
- Huge line at "ticket-tearing-person" booth
- Someone finally informs us that the line is ONLY for those seeing Prometheus
- Go to front of "ticket-tearing-person" booth
- "ticket-tearing-person" informs us we need to go to "other-ticket-tearing-person" on the other side of the theater
- Short walk to other side of theater
- "other-ticket-tearing-person" tells us the theater isn't ready, still being cleaned
- I say "that's impossible, our movie starts in 5 minutes. we're seeing the 7:40 showing"
- "other-ticket-tearing-person" says "Your ticket says 10:45. You'll have to have them switch it."
- Short run to customer service counter. "customer-service-person" changes tickets.
- Another short run to "ticket-tearing person" who is now dealing with the onslaught of Prometheus viewers
- Shamelessly cut in line, get tickets torn, and run to theater room 5
- Find seats next to cute little boy with a lisp and his mother
- Cute little boy with a lisp introduces himself to Hunter. His name is Mario.
- Mario won't stop talking to Hunter.
- Hunter is visibly perturbed
- Tall and lanky teenagers sit in front of Mario.
- Mario's mom switches seats so Mario can see.
- Hunter and I are secretly relieved
- Tall and lanky teenagers move over a seat and sit in front of Mario again.
- Run out of theater to find Mario a booster seat. This will be my good deed of the day (cough...and prevent Mario from needing to switch back to former seat... cough).
- Return, receive thank yous from Mario and his Mom
- Movie begins.
- 100 small children talk/cry/throw popcorn/run around with light up shoes/scream at any 3D effect through entire movie.
- Hunter loved it. That's all that matters.
