Movie Theatre Experience (WAS Sulking)

[Jo]

I had to have had the most wonderful theater experience possible. 
Since my school was taking a group of Accelerated Readers, the theater 
gave us a private showing before their first scheduled showing. We had 
fewer than 20 people there (including my husband, who met us there). 
It was fantastic. It was like watching in our own private theater. The 
drive to the theater took about an hour. Two of the adults had never 
read the books, but everyone else on the bus were fanatics. The drive 
seemed to take no time at all.  The kids and I batted trivia questions 
around the bus all the way there, and then spent the entire trip back 
discussing differences between the book and the movie. 

Saturday, however, was a different experience. I bought tickets before 
leaving the theater on Friday, and my daughter, a friend I got hooked 
on the books, and I went back to the same theater on Saturday. The 
show was sold out by the time we got there 30 minutes early. There 
were wall-to-wall people. Some of those arriving late had to sit apart 
from each other. We had the same crying baby all of you had. Most of 
the time the theater was quiet, but the audience burst into laughter 
at all the right places. There were more adults and teens than I had 
expected.
