I haven’t walked out on a movie in a long time. This has a lot to do with the fact that I don’t see a lot of movies — not at the theater, at least. I used only to go to movies I could take my son to, which meant more Ninja Turtles than you could shake a stick at. Now, he’s old enough to refuse to go with me. He’s also old enough to give advice. Being 18, he has lots of advice to give. He said, “Go see The Life Aquatic.”
So I did. Yeesh. Nothing happened in the first half hour. Fortunately, my husband called my cell at that point. (I was polite… I had it on buzz mode.) I walked out, called him back, and went to see Lemony Snicket. I love Jim Carrey, and at least this one had a plot that was apparent from the beginning.
So, I am a happy movie-goer, but it took some work.
