Would you like a taco with that?
Posted in Movies, Restaurants on 07/09/2006 12:16 pm by enjanerdWent out to Reston and watched Pirates with SPJ and Ian. Throughout the movie, I kept picturing how they would turn certain scenes into amusement park rides. I don’t know if that was on purpose, but I’m guessing it wasn’t completely accidental. Cool movie. I don’t want to give anything away, so if you liked the first one, you’ll probably like this one too.
An interesting part of the movie-going experience was the person sitting next to me in the theater. (No, I don’t mean Ian.) There was a guy sitting next to me eating an entire Chinese take-out meal with chopsticks. He made one slurping noise, but shut up after my first dirty look. I gave the kid behind me a dirty look, too, after he kicked my seat. Only happened once. My dirty look must be getting good. ;)
Anyway, halfway through the movie the guy next to me pulled out his cellphone to text message someone. I assume his date, because he was looking at the phone and typing stuff while looking down the row at her. Oh yeah. She was sitting on the other side of the row because they came into the movie late and couldn’t find seats together. Too bad… I think he had her dinner too. And this is why I hate going to movie theaters. At least her phone was silenced, I guess.
Before the movie, Ian and I made a trip out to Taco Bell to try their new Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme. (Yes, advertising works on us. Shut up.) It was quite tasty. Smaller than they looked on TV, in my opinion, but still filling. While we were there, we discussed how beef tacos are to Taco Bell as french fries are to other fast food places. This seemed strange to me because they have nachos and other things that would work as more comparable sides. But all the meal combos seemed to have a side of taco.
Alright, back to The Crossing. It’s turnip day! :)
