Kianna's First Movie at the Theater
Kianna saw her first movie in a movie theater tonight. She had been seeing the trailer for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory by Tim Burton for weeks, and she specifically asked to go.
She really loved the Willy Wonka character she saw on the trailers and for that matter so did her mom. We found a local movie theater that's a little small, but it has all the latest movies and there seem to be a lot of kids that go there. We wanted to pick a time and place where we wouldn't disturb too many people just in case she didn't keep quiet or started making a fuss.
Once the move began it started a bit slow for a child because it needed to run through some character development. Kianna got a bit antsy at that point and asked to go home. This was about 10 minutes in. However, Wella calmed her down and she sat through and enjoyed the rest of the show! I thought it was a great adaptation of the story and we all enjoyed it.
One cool thing I enjoyed was holding Kianna's hand for most of the show. There were a few points where I thought it might scare her so I wanted to comfort her. The cutest thing was that she wouldn't let go of me except to change what thumb she was sucking. About every 5 minutes she would quickly change hands. My sister always said that thumb sucking kids are good kids and Kianna certainly fits that bill.
After the movie we all kept repeating the "you're really weird" line from Mr. Wonka. Kianna particularly glommed onto that line. We all had a really great time this night.
Hello
hello again
...and yet again! Hey there!
you need not tlk to yourself, you have readers and fans you know! been almost a year since I came by sure but... close to that long since you posted anything so!
Jacob's first theatre movie was a Veggie Tales Jonah, no such character development problems, instant and severe fixation. There's a scene where the whale comes up out of the water into the air, does a 180 and and comes down mouth open on somebody flaoting in the water and from the moment that sucker breached the surface Jacob's grip became vice-like and he visibly quivered/spasm-ed or something as his eyes went throbbing outward toward the screen. The little man was impressed.
You must brings me video and/or audio of the wee one!
