Kilted at the movies

[Caradoc]

Never any problems, just the usual onlookers snickering teenagers.

I generally have more issues with the teenages who can't unglue the cellphone from their ear for the duration of the film than comments on my clothing.

Cool. I've met some cool bikers as well. And I've met some of 'evil' blackmetal people from Norway. They're also quite nice and down to earth, when not on stage... Appearances can deceive...

Anywho, is it really true that you have to get to the movies in good time in order to get good seats?

I just reserve a seat online (get a diagram of the hall, and click on the seat(s) you want)or by phone, that way I can walk in at 19:00 exactly (if that's the time the movie starts) without having to worry about a seat. It's standard procedure in all theatres I've been to here in the country.

All of the movie theaters I've been to in the United States have "general seating," which means one buys a ticket, walks in, and picks a seat.

In most cases, this means having to get there 15-20 minutes early to get a decent seat. On opening day, it might mean getting there 3-4 hours early to get tickets, let alone a seat.

Great story and great movie!

I've seen it twice

If you liked the first one you will definately like the second one, good humour, fantastic action sequences ,and delightful visuals, Keira isn't bad on the eyes either

Kilted is probably the most comfie way to see a movie.

Last two years I've gone black-kilted to our town's big Oktoberfest - a biker rally. Never a problem, many compliments and where to buy questions.

I thought the first "Pirates..." was the most fun "summer blockbuster" I had ever seen. I went to this movie with fairly moderate expectations and had fun. The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and Sinbad enjoyed it. It isn't nearly as good as the first one and much of the humor throughout the film is referencing something from the first movie. There are great visuals, and Davy Jones is an amazing blend of acting and cg imagery. If I were rating these movies I would give the first movie an A- while the second rates only a C+
Will I watch the third film next summer? Of course!

Glad the movie was worth seeing. That is on our list. Can anybody let me know if a 3 and a 5 year old would enjoy it, or it is appropriate?

A couple of things. This movie is 2+ hours long (which is a lot to ask someone under six years old to sit through). My 6 year son thought that this was scarier than the first movie. We didn't take my 3 1/2 year old daughter to the film because for those two reasons.

Hey...we'll all go see the third installment just to see Keith Richards!

...and if he speaks in the film, I hope that they have sub-titles!

I would point out that the second film in a trilogy is usually the weakest...consider Back to the Future II...did that suck or what? But BTTF III was a blast.

What planet do you live on? I would have told those teenagers to either turn their phones of or watch them being dashed to pieces on the wall of the theater after I got the attention of everyone else in the place to watch.

Chances are that I'd get a standing ovation.
