Bourgeois extravagance

I went to a dine-in theater tonight to see Oblivion.  It was my first time at a dine-in theater.  Once you get over feeling bourgeois about having food delivered to you in a theater, it's quite fun!  I loved that it was 21 and over, no noisy kids or stupid teens, and you get have alcohol while you watch the movie.  Everything was outrageously priced of course, but it's good for a once-in-awhile splurge.  The food was tasty too and so much of it!  I couldn't finish it all.  And the reclining seats were sooooo comfy, I didn't want to leave.  If they had given me a blanket I think I would have fallen asleep right then and there.  I'm definitely going to that theater again, not all the time (it's way too expensive for that) but for a special occasion, like maybe after my defense I'll treat myself to a simultaneous dinner and movie at the dine-in theater.

Now a quick comment about the movie.  Oblivion was good, but I wish they hadn't revealed in the trailers that Morgan Freeman was searching for and captured Tom Cruise or that they would get to that reveal earlier in the movie.  For something that they so freely revealed in the trailers, they spent a lot of time building up to it and kept it shrouded in mystery.  The movie did have a couple other twists though, one was really unexpected.
