Other stories from Tamarac Cinema 5

Our neighborhood $3 theater is really one of my favorite places to go.  My friend Jessica and I go a few times a month and enjoy movies for 1/4 of the price.  We sometimes forget that we live in wrinkleville Florida, but on our movie nights the reality sets in instantly.  
Tonight we saw Jane Eyre.  And without exception, it was packed with little blue haired ladies and their little bald husbands.  
Two ladies across the aisle talked the entire time.  

"OOOH DID YOU SEE HER DRESS??"
"WHAT?"
"DID YOU SEE HER DRESS?"

I wanted to lean over and yell "YES!! We all saw her dress! Jane Eyre is only 20 feet tall on the screen- her dress is hard to miss!" But instead I just giggled to myself.
The little old couple behind us were also a bit chatty.  The husband kept making comments throughout the entire movie and after every comment his wife would say:

"Shhhhh.  You talk to much"
or 
"Shhhh.  You always have to comment on everything"

At first his comments were typical male remarks about chick flicks.  But by the end he was really into the movie and when Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester finally kissed he let out quite the swear word, which of course his wife told him to be quiet.

Nothing beats going to a movie on Friday Night.
