going solo with pirates
August 8, 2006i did it again. on a sudden whim, i went off and watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest on my own.
at around 7:30 PM last saturday i found myself in Ayala Center. i was planning to have dinner there, since I didn’t think my screaming tummy could wait ’til i got home. i was on the escalator when i remembered that i hadn’t seen POTC yet. i thought, maybe i should watch it before it got scratched off the list of Now Showing movies, plus how could i pass up johnny depp? if i didn’t grab the chance while it was still showing, i’m gonna be stuck with a DVD…and films like this are so much better when experienced with cinematic surround sound and a wide, wide screen.
so i went, armed with large fries, large iced tea, regular KFC Hot Shots, and my favorite Tater’s butter-drizzed popcorn. i found a comfortable aisle seat, with at least 2 empty seats beside me (i didn’t want to sit beside some stranger, or worse, some lovestruck dating couple!).
i watched, ate, and laughed out loud, all by myself. i headed home around 11 PM and just fell right into bed.
surprisingly, i didn’t dream about pirates.
