Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I saw me a moving picture today! How sad is it that I am so very happy to have seen an afternoon movie? Steve took the afternoon off work and we went to a Famous Babies showing of the latest Harry Potter flick.
This is the second bring-your-baby-along movie I've gone to and so far they are pretty good. The sound is turned down a bit to save little ears, and you get some crying and other random baby noises now and then, but otherwise it's seeing a movie. OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE. On a great big screen, with artery clogging popcorn and insanely expensive beverages. Oh yeah, it's OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE. Can you sense the source of my excitement?
The movie was pretty good - though, as long as it gets me out in the real world doing adult things, my standards are pretty low. I won't spoil it for you, but I will say that I especially liked a part with a dragon, Harry and a roof - you'll know it when you see it - very cool. I really enjoy seeing these movies knowing the story two books down the road, I think it adds a whole 'nother layer to the things they choose to show in the movie.
Liam was great, he was very patient and sat nice through most of the movie. He didn't fall asleep like he did when I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but he didn't cry... he did do some fake coughing, but it being his new favourite thing how could he resist. An audience for crying out loud - he loves attention any way he can get it. Two and a half hours is a lot to ask from a baby, so I'm pretty impressed with how well he did.
I'm taking advantage of it while I can cause once he starts crawling, I know that my days of going to movies with him in tow will be over. Until then, you can expect to find me at Movies 4 Mommies on Wednesday afternoons.
