There is no glitter in this line.
My hubby loves Bond movies. Since he is like most men, and doesn't have guy friends to go to the movies that only guys want to see, I always go with him. That's why I know all the Star Wars, Star Trek, Super Hero, and Action movie plots!! Naturally, the last Bond film fell on his birthday weekend, and since he doesn't particularly like matinees, we went to the eight pm showing, where we had to wait in long lines to get tickets, to get popcorn, and to be seated.
This was opening weekend and the roped off line was long and crooked, which as a past teacher, I hated! We, the rule following people in line, asked one particularly knowledgeable man (you know the type, someone must be in charge of you people, and it will be me.) if we were in the correct line for the Bond movie. He said he felt sure all of us were and he said he knew this because there was no glitter in the line (The Twilight movie was also having its opening weekend and was showing at the next numbered theater down. There was lots of glittery shirts in that line.) Turns out, he was right!
As we sat down, there were people that were trying to get situated, talking loudly to each other, and I realized that we were old people tonight too. I started laughing to myself. In front of us I hear a man comment about the beginning song in the movie, "I ''m glad that is over. It was too loud." Then a woman to my left, " What did that man say.?" A few minutes later the man in front asks his wife," Did you eat all the popcorn?" She has the bag in an upside down position in the air...YES! Then my husband leans to me and says, " That did not make sense. Bond would not have done that!" I answer, "I know. That was poor." and again, I realize, we are the old people!
As I sit quietly through the movie, I was reminded of the first time I realized I had become my parents....It was about a year ago. My husband and I were invited to a dinner at the end of a conference. In looking around the the room upon our arrival, I sweetly said to my husband, " I hope we aren't going to stay here long, there are only old people here." We took our seats and as we began to eat our salads, we began to hear the 70's music of the band, and watch the few bold people dance on the small dance floor.
...Yeah, my husband agrees, everybody here is our age!!!!
