Ice Age 3: Die Dinosaurier Sind Los

This week I wasn't really in the mood for sightseeing or exploring (perhaps I'm saving my energy for Switzerland next week), so I don't really have anything too exciting to post to the blog.  BUT...it's been brought to my attention that certain people don't like it when I go more than a week without posting something. (not to name names or anything but ...JOHN POULSEN)  So I've decided to write a little bit about the movie theaters here.

I know you're probably thinking that this is weird because they can't possibly be that different.  And you're right, this is weird.  However, there really are quite a few little differences.

  

This week I took Timon and Flora to the third Ice Age Movie, and of course, it was in german.  BIG DIFFERENCE!!!   The next difference is a little less obvious and concerns concessions...they don't have butter on their popcorn.  Butter isn't even an option, nor is any other kind of seasoning.  bleh  Also, they sell orange juice for the little kids.  And let me tell you, orange juice does not go well with butterless popcorn and chocolate.  The last difference I will talk about, is about the seating.  In America, when you go to a movie, you get to pick your own seats.  So naturally I thought it was the same here.  But when I chose the perfect seats right in the middle of theater, and looked up to find Timon and Flora still standing in the isle looking at me with a really strange look of irritation, I started to think otherwise.  Timon showed me the tickets and sure enough, there was an assigned seat written on it.  So in order to keep the kids calm, (because heaven forbid we sit in the wrong seat... I mean one of the other 4 people in the theater might drastically need that exact seat and who knows what kind of horrible things could happen then?!)  we hiked all the way to the top of the ridiculously large theater and sat in the back right next the other 4 people.

Needless to say, next time I'd rather just wait and rent the movie.  :)
