I Saw A Good Movie Tonight

>The name of the movie was Inside Out. On the surface, it seemed like a children's movie, because it was animated, and the main character of the story was an 11-year-old girl. But it was so much more interesting and thought-provoking than any children's movie I've ever seen. It had a lot to say about the inner workings of people, and it made me think about which emotion, or emotions, are running the show in my life. Every emotion has a purpose, but we need to be aware of which emotion is mainly in control.

I also liked it because it takes place in Minnesota, my home state.

We saw it on the big screen in an empty theater for only two bucks each! I go to the movies every couple of months, and I can't remember the last time there were more than five people in the place. How they stay in business is a mystery. The depth and insight of Inside Out is touching. It's too bad that most people will dismiss it as mere kids' pap..., as I almost did myself. I never would've been there if not as a favor to my 7-year old..., and yet, it ended up being one of the best movies I've ever seen. (Of course, I should've had some clue after the Toy Story trilogy, but there is a lot of actual pap out there too.) This is just one example of the many awesomely ironic rewards of parenting in general... :)

I'm glad that you go to see it too, and that you also liked it. Yeah, I wonder how many adults will ever see this, because a lot of them probably though that was just another kids' movie.

I'm not sure how those theaters (especially second-run theaters) stay in business either. Quite often the theater that I like to go to (the Riverview in Minneapolis) is close to empty, though the last few nights it has been so full that my boyfriend and I didn't even want to go in there. I think they make most of their money from the popcorn and other refreshments that they sell there. At the Riverview, popcorn actually costs more than tickets! That's why they don't like it if you bring your own snacks in there. We're probably helping the Riverview stay in business not only by buying tickets, but also by buying popcorn and H2Oh! there.
