the french movie experience

Twilight (the second chapter) came out on wednesday night here in Paris. Some friends and I decided to go see it. What an experience let me tell you! We waited in line which was actually more of a clump! Out here they don't know how to line up for a film but rather cram as many people as possible between two velvet ropes which are set a good 30 feet apart. So everyone sortof clumps together and pushes and complains about everyone else pushing them, etc. and waits. Finally about 5 mintues before the film is supposed to start they start letting people in. They barely check tickets and they just usher everyone in. I must admit I felt very much like cattle! lol We headed up the escalator in no real order and basically in chaos and then headed to the theatre. Then more chaos rained, the doors from the theatre opened and people shooved through. It was literally a mad house. Finally we found seats (together which was lucky). It was craziness, people yelling at others for saving seats, people pushing people. An actual fight broke out! lol I love the movies. Then the advertisments start. Out here it is literally 25 minutes long and that is before it starts the actual upcoming ads. And then the movie begins. I have to say, watching an English movie with french subtitles in France is different. They don't laugh at the same things the rest of us do! lol it was a good movie, and a fun experience. I enjoyed the film and loved watching it with a bunch french (men and women). Another great french film experience! :)
