...it was no Gladiator.
I went to see Kingdom of Heaven today even AFTER reading all the negative reviews because:
1) orlando bloom looks good with facial hair (REALLY good)
2) ridley scott, though extraordinarily predictable, makes big movies look beautiful
3) i love going to this particular theater because it has, not only balcony boxes, and a curtain, but a man that sits in one of said balconies in front of a giant Wurlitzer organ and PLAYS that shit! LOUD. it's an awesome sight to behold
4) tickets are matinee prices until 3pm, so yay for 6 bucks!
5) bagel train. for those in the know (and i KNOW) they have THE best (no contest) bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches that i have ever had - AND they make them all day... and last, but certainly not least...
6) good movie-going company
ok, so the movie wasn't that good the plot was predictable and hard to follow all at once, i cared about none of the characters (not even orlando bloom's, really) and it had a terrible ending. oh well, i can think of worse ways to spend a few hours and a few dollars, so you'll hear no bitching from me.
