Hoppers was fun but nobody laughed except me

When we bought our tickets, it was only our two seats and two seats in the very first row that were taken. So when we walked in at 5 pm and it was packed, I thought we walked into the wrong theater. Kids were everywhere.

The taken seats randomly turned into lizards after we bought our tickets (this was at 11 am)

We had to squeeze past three recliners, all full, one of which the adult of the group had taken off his shoes and was raw doggin his feet in the air, no socks. Intimidating for me. I think when I sat down it took me a solid 15 minutes to get my heart rate down.

The movie was cute. I think Turning Red still hit me harder, but the humor of Hoppers felt stronger overall. And the animation was adorable. Mabel was a cute protagonist and I liked her relationship with her Grandma. I also liked that she was 19, that's surprisingly old for a Disney/Pixar protagonist in my opinion!

I love him

The climax was absolutely hilarious and Dave Franco went absolutely nuts in the recording booth (good for him).

One thing that surprised me is how quiet the theater was. It was full of kids, so I assumed it was going to be a loud showing. But the kids only laughed at one joke where all the animals were yelling and screaming over each other.

I feel like when I used to go to the theaters, people were sometimes jerks, but not always. Like sometimes someone would pull out their phone a few times, and if it was annoying you'd be like, "Hey, can you please put that away" after like 20 minutes of hyping yourself up and picturing them reacting in the worst way. And then they would put it away.

My worst story was some couple brought a really young kid into John Wick 4 and gave him a phone to play some app with no headphones, and I think the kid got bored of John Wick and kept turning the volume up until it was blaring. That used to be my worst story.

But it's strange, in the last couple of weeks, I've gone to the theater twice and at Project Hail Mary a guy kept pulling out his phone at full brightness and Hoppers today there was a guy bare footing it who took a call during the climax. At FNAF 2, some dude talked the entire time. Is it just me or are audiences getting worse? It used to be every now and then, but these days, it's almost a certainty.

 

CURRENT RAT EVENTS

Current rat hobby: I am like 20 pages from finishing The Silent Patient.

Current rat worry: Work -_-

Can people at work please do any tasks on their own? I swear I feel like the only person that is working on my entire team... Someone is helping me with a task and they were told it needs to be finished pretty much as soon as possible. Guess what, not only did they never finish it, but they never even started on it. My manager said, "Oh, that's fine. We'll just push that then, they're busy." We can't push it, it needs to be done ASAP! Am I the only person at my job that understands what ASAP means? I feel like I'm going slightly insane.
