The day we were defeated by life

Last Saturday Deanna and I were trying to find some "sober" weekend activities. Worst-idea-ever. We got sushi and then decided we'd catch the 5:15 showing of "Crazy, Stupid Love." It wasn't playing at the Ballston theater, no big deal Courthouse was right down the street.

Think again.

I don't know if the world was trying to play a cruel joke on us, but this movie theater was literally hidden. So of course we were wandering around Clarendon Blvd aimlessly with my iphone map leading us in circles. 

FINALLY we find the place. The ticket lady was NOT pleasant and told us to go to the theater upstairs after giving us some major 'tude. Sorry lady, it's not OUR fault you hate your life and work at the hidden mysterious movie theater. We decide that we owe it to ourselves to get some candy and get to the theater door around 5:25, only ten minutes late, which should be right towards the end of the previews right?

WRONG.

The movie had already started and the theater was pitch black. So then we were those ass holes stumbling through the aisles using our phones for light to find a seat. I thought it was odd the movie had already started, but then just assumed the movie theater was bizarre and maybe just very prompt along with being hidden and strange. 

Luckily I had seen the commercial so I knew the gist of the movie, but did think that it seemed like a lot had happened already in a mere 10 minutes. 

About 45 minutes later the credits started rolling.....

We went to the 4 o'clock showing instead of the 5:30 one that was in the theater next door.

LIKE SERIOUSLY?! This was an all-time low. Deanna and I have done some pretty stupid things but this is definitely one of the worst. 

WHO PUTS THE SAME MOVIE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND DOESN'T TELL US WHICH ONE TO GO TO?! This totally wasn't ALL our fault. Clearly we just weren't meant to see this movie. We had spent the money on the tickets, bought candy for 45 minutes (definitely not worth the calories), and the showing of the movie we were actually supposed to see was now at the point of the movie we had just watched. So basically...that was the day we were defeated by the Courthouse movie theater.

We feel ya kid! :(

Moral of the story: WE SHOULD HAVE JUST GONE TO THE BAR LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD ON A SATURDAY NIGHT. LESSON LEARNED
