Iron Man! no, wait, that wasn't it
May. 2nd, 2008 10:40 pmSo I managed to pull out of the normal Friday Gruul raid when the Rabidpug SOK group decided to hit up Iron Man tonight. On my way to the bus stop to head home I called Dru and he picked me up to head straight to Lynnwood.
Only... it's opening weekend. On a Friday night. And while I'd opened the Fandango window earlier, I hadn't had my CC info on me at the time (bonehead move #1: closing the window and not going back), and I hadn't even thought of inviting Dru until the last minute (bonehead move #2: not thinking to schedule this with him ahead of time) Of course the movie was sold out. And the next screening right after.
So I waved to Lori as she and her chicas walked in, and told them to say hi to everyone else, and Dru and I caught The Forbidden Kingdom instead.
That was pretty sweet (a bit sappy at points) but excellent martial arts flick with a nice dash of heavy mythology.
Then we snuck into Iron Man. For being sold out, there were a couple dozen seats up front in the neck-cricker section. It was just at the point where (so I assume) most of the action-y bits started, so we saw a decent chunk of it - all the explosions that Forbidden Kingdom didn't have. And we sat through the end credits for that lovely little teaser. Heh.
I don't regret flubbing the Fandango bit - I wouldn't have seen Forbidden Kingdom on my own; and I got a chance to see Dru for the first time in a couple weeks: his schedule's been too crazy to really hook up for lunch the way we have other quarters. I have two plant sales to hit this weekend, but no other big commitments, so I'll snag a matinee somewhere in there and see the first bits I missed this time around.
