So yesterday...
Kids were both gone for the evening, so the wife wanted to have a "Date Night"... You middle aged guys knows what that usually means... Nice dinner out, crappy chick flick movie, then home where she will still be feeling bloated from the big dinner and all the popcorn... So, sex is a long shot.
But it's FSO night, was my first thought. Fortunately, I was wise enough to keep that protest to myself.
Anyway, it just so happens that there aren't any movies playing that she wants to see. So, I look at the listings... Hmmm... Not much... But... The Avengers opens tonight. Now, we don't normally go to movies on opening night. We just don't like the crowds. But what the heck, nothing else is playing that either of us want to see.
So, I get on Fandango and buy our tickets before we go to dinner.
Nice dinner. We get to the theater a little earlier then normal. Turned out to be good timing, we got our popcorn and drinks and were first into the theater. So, we got the dead center about 2/3rds of the way back seats that we like. Theater filled up quickly, but as luck would have it, the seat directly in front of me just happened to be broken so nobody sat in front of me.
The movie was very good. Much better then I had hoped or expected. Joss Whedon really does know how to make a good SciFi/Comic Book movie. No spoilers, but there is a particular moment near the end when the Hulk fights Loki (the main bad guy) that made the movie worth watching all in its own right.
So, if you have any interest in seeing it... I highly recommend it.
Oh... No sex... Too bloated feeling from the dinner and popcorn as expected.
All in all it was a pretty good evening anyway.
