So we decided to take our first trip to the Gurgaon movie theaters. Ummm, that in itself, was quite interesting. We purchased our tickets and then had to go through some metal detectors. Once that happened, they went through our purses and took our gum and cameras that we were carrying. Instead of a coat check, they have a 'item' check. I can't believe they confiscated our gum...hahaa Then a lady patted each of us down which was so strange b/c she got REALLY personal. I mean, we all agreed it was more like groping than a patdown. Dude, I'm going to watch a movie, not get on a plane...geez!!! Even the TSA never gets that touchy-feely with us.
So we get inside and they have fresh hot corn (off the cob) and they will add any flavoring/masala that you request. If you have ever had the corn here, you would understand that it totally made up for the groping we had to endure...hahaa
So the movie we watch is called the Tree of Life. The reason we had to go see an American flick is b/c neither Diana nor Lisa knew Hindi and the Hindi films don't have subtitles here in India. Sucks!!! The Tree of Life was about the theory of evolution which I was okay with, however, this movie made me want to gouge my eyes out. How can a movie with both Brad Pitt and Sean Penn be this horrendous. Half the theater walked out by the 'intermission' and the other half, including me, were talking and laughing through the remainder of this travesty. Yes I know that it won the award for 'Best Independent Film of the Year' at Cannes, but I don't know how is voting for this shit. Rotten tomatoes has it at about 84%/85% which is mind-boggling. Needless to say we needed drinks after all that nonsense so we headed over to TGIFridays and tried to figure out what we had just seen. I wouldn't willingly sit through another showing of that movie even if they told me that I would meet Brad Pitt afterwards and that's saying a lot!!!!!!!!!!! #thirdworldpains
