The world's oldest movie theater is located not too far from where I used to live [a.k.a. where I lived two weeks ago. Or one week ago?] and on week nights it plays movies [current movies, but only one per week] for $5! And it sells booze [as does EVERY entity in St. Louis]. Ok, it's not really the oldest but according to their website it's been around since 1922 [oh, and the world's biggest Amoco sign is at that intersection...so I was right about the world's something-est being around]. This is also the location that two of my friends and I went to wait in line to meet Tippi Hedron and see "The Birds" for the first time. [The free seating was already taken when we got there.]
Anyway, the point is I went to see a movie [Water for Elephants], the first movie I've been THIS excited to see in awhile and it was pretty darn good. Of course it wasn't as good as the book, BUT Christoph Waltz is a GREAT bad guy [he has perfected the really-pissed-and-evil-while-smiling look] and, because the character in the book was a redhead, I didn't imagine him nearly as attractive as Robert Pattinson [I didn't imagine him attractive at all, just not ugly], so that was a bonus in the casting. Oh, the elephant was really good, too.
The cherry on top for me was that the guy we paid at the ticket window was kind of cute. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but in the seven, eight months I've lived in St. Louis, I have seen very few cute boys. VERY FEW. So when I find one that's even kinda cute I just want to stare at him for a few minutes [which I did last night while my friend was in the restroom].
