Why can't the Scotiabank theatre have an Unlimited Card?

The thing about living above a cinema is you tend to watch a lot of films. I don't mean surreptitiously, I'm not hanging on a trapeze from the balcony trying to follow the plot of Twilight. Then again I couldn't do that if I was actually in the theatre watching it. But it's just an easy and accessible form of entertainment to take the lift downstairs and catch a film. And they have something called Telus Tuesdays which basically means a cheaper ticket, free popcorn and a free drink. And since this isn't the UK the popcorn size is what you could describe as generous. The drink is huge as well, in fact so huge we saw a kid literally sprinting out halfway through the film yesterday. When you gotta go you gotta go.

2012 was alright. It was basically every disaster movie wrapped up into one. Obviously the visual effects were great but no one remembers them when they're good, only when they're very bad (Kingdom of the Crystal Skull anyone?). So on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 6.2537.

In other news we were in our regular eatery yesterday and everything was fine. Cheap pitchers, giant plate of fries, decent conversation. And then we saw a rat. A rat. He was huge, like a mutant badger. Of course I'm sure I've eaten in places with rats before, probably a lot worse, but you don't want to see one scampering around the place while you're enjoying a cream ale. He looked alright as rats go I suppose. So I hate to say it but I'm having second thoughts about the place. I mean I'm sure I'll eat there again but I'll never look at it the same way again. The best thing about all this is I took my parents there, twice. And they paid. Ha ha ha!
