Movies

Today, the girls and I went to the Chiang Mai Airport Plaza Mall and saw Clash of the Titans. We bought our own DVD for a buck fifty last week, and thought we were getting some black market version early release totally illegal version of the new movie, before it was even released...we felt SO badass. We got it home, popped it in the DVD player, and low and behold...even though the picture on the cover was from the new movie, this was the 1981 movie starring Harry Hamlin. So not okay. But back to the movies...we stood in line for at least 15 minutes to get the tickets, way more time then we would have had patience for at home, considering there were only about six people ahead of us...I mean, really, how long does it take to sell a ticket...even though you do get to choose your seats on a digital screen on the counter before you. A large popcorn here is what Americans would consider a small there. The whole shmeer cost us a little over 10 dollars, including the tickets and 3-D glasses. Deal? I think yes. Before the movie starts, there is a 3 minute tribute video to the king, where everyone stands and sheds a tear or two, for the continued health of their beloved king. There are also about 5 commercials in total all about whitening creams. We see these creams everywhere...seems like Thai women want to be white, where we want to be dark. About the movie, we thought it was about equal to what we paid. Page liked it though, so I have to be nice.
