The Movie Magic Experience

Welcome to my site. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed for recent updates or follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again!

We took Mini Buff to the movies this past weekend. And we went real early thinking that we’d be kind of alone and there wouldn’t be an insane amount of people there. Well, apparently, Wall-E is still pretty big. We were in a full room. A small room, but a full one.

First off, he kept talking. We kept having to shoosh him. Then he wouldn’t sit still. We had to put our legs up to keep him from running off and around the room. I honestly don’t think he watched any of the movie. But you’re probably wondering why we didn’t leave. Well it was a cute movie, and I’m not one to spend about $50.00 then just walk out of the building. Unless I’m at the mall. :D

But we tried, much to the objection of the hubby. But I had to know how he’d act. I’m curious like that. I think next time there is something out that the baby wants to see, we’ll wait for it to come out on video.

    Haha, kids are like that!

    Have you got anything called Mums N Bubs sessions where you live? In Australia, we have specific movie sessions in the middle of the day for mums and young children to attend, so other people in the cinema can’t get annoyed about having kids crying, screaming, running around, etc!

  2. Noted: When I have kids some day, rent movies only… No trips to the theater. Thanks for teaching me, Obi Wan.

    Omg, sounds like an experience. I was too afraid to take my little one to the movies when he was small. :(

  6. Destiny says:

    I haven’t seen Wall-E, but I didn’t know it was still going so strong. Wow, you guys are brave to bring the young one to the theatre, like you said, you had to test and find out as well. Glad you know now to just buy it from video next time ^_^

    Destiny’s last entry was 3rd Wedding Anniversary

    Hmmm…Sounds like what I think about doing while at a movie that sucks.

    lol, kids! My parents never took me to the theater until I was definitely old enough to sit still and pay attention, and I think they might have had the right idea. I can’t imagine that you ended up seeing much of the movie, what with having to corral the little one.

    Wow, $50! Going to the movies is getting more insanely expensive all the time!

  12. Sharon says:

    I hope you all liked the movie Wall-E. It’s one of my favourites.

    Sharon’s last entry was Martha Stewart Create and Martha Stewart Celebrate

  13. Vickie says:

    Ah, kids and their attention span. :P

    The “Mums N Bubs” sessions that the first Amanda mentioned would be rather chaotic, I think.

    Vickie’s last entry was Version 10: Upside Down

    I’ve never taken children to a movie because of that. It’s just safer and cheaper to watch it at home. I don’t blame you for not leaving though. It was a really cute movie, I went to see it and didn’t have the excuse of a child wanting to see it. haha. My hubby even thought it was good. :)

  15. Angelica says:

    Going to see a movie costed you $50?! Wow, that’s really expensive, even for three.

    Too bad the little one didn’t behave but what can you do, kids will be kids. :)

    Angelica’s last entry was School’s out forever – NOT!

  16. Your lucky that it’s only the kids you have to put up with, i can’t even go watch even a slightly scary or creepy movie with my girlfriend, the slightest jumpy thing and she screams real loud, i feel real embarressed, i start to sink lower and lower in the chair till no one can see me…

  17. LOL…. Thats quite an awesome experience you had.

    didn’t know wall-e was still going strong either… not bad for a film with hardly any dialogue. :) agree with destiny that it was pretty brave of you to bring the young one into the theater. don’t have any kids yet, no hubby yet in fact, but i think if i did, i’d be too terrified to bring my kid to the cinema. :O i’d go with dvd’s.

    but it’s cool that you gave it a try… it might have worked out after all, who’s to say? …

    and $50! ouch! where i’m from, a ticket averages the equivalent of around $3 still… i think (hmmm… not so sure… been a while since i’ve seen a movie at the theater)…

    Wall-E was a cute film. I especially liked the little rabbit and magician animation intro which wasn’t part of the film but still enjoyable nonetheless!

    Teesee’s last entry was Snarky bastard.

  20. scatterhaiku says:

    ah true… :) agree with teesee, that opening short with the rabbit was hilarious. :D and brilliant as well. :)

    and i agree with vickie, the mums n bubs session does sound rather messy… all those kids in one large room. :O
