Elizabeth and I rarely go see a movie in the theater. When we do, it's almost always at the second-run theater that plays movies that have been out for a few months already, because those theaters usually cost about $1.50. If we see a new movie in a "nice" theater, it's almost always because someone gave us a movie theater gift card.
Well, on Christmas morning I was given a movie theater gift card from my parents-in-law. It worked out perfectly, because I'd already told Elizabeth that we were seeing Les Miserables in the theater no matter what. I had the gift card in my possession for about 32 hours before using it to buy tickets to Les Mis (and some popcorn).
So now here's my dilemma. Les Mis is about 2 hours and 30 minutes in length. I wanted it to last 10 hours. It was so good. But now that I saw it on the second day of its release, I have a very long time to wait until I'm able to see it again (when it comes out on DVD), or I have to pay to go see it again in a theater. Which is a bummer.
And that's the end of this enticing tale.
