Dave and I went to see our long awaited movie, Borat, on the opening night. Sadly, The Archlight, our theatre of choice, wasn't playing Borat, so we opted for the Burbank AMC (our first mistake), being one of the closest theaters after our trip to the opening day at Griffith Park Observatory. We spent so much time trying to find a spot in a poorly designed parking structure, that we missed our movie. It was a Friday night (our second mistake), and there was a stampede of loud obnoxious teenagers throughout the theatre, all there for Borat. We watched in total disbelief, everyone walking on top of one another to find a seat. This is precisely why reserved seating makes sense.
Then the previews started, and the kids behind us wouldn't shut up. The guy kept kicking Dave's seat, and Dave finally yelled at them. They immediately shut their pie holes and remained quiet. After the movie, the rugrats were waiting for us, probably angry at Dave. One of the guys bumped into me to prove a point. The parking, the seating, and the rude behavior wouldn't have been an issue at the The Archlight.
To end on a good note, we caught the next movie of Borat, and managed to snag some great seats. Borat was hysterical and watched him uninterrupted! We really enjoyed this movie and I'm glad we went despite it all.
