Today I went to see Little Miss Sunshine. It’s pretty much the definition of a dark comedy which touches on such subjects as homosexuality, suicide, child beauty pageants, drug abuse among the elderly, and Proust scholarship. But this isn’t a movie review. This is a thank you letter.
As I was leaving my house I gave a quick shout up to Tom for some cash and got the standard, “I don’t have any money.” Since I wasted my CVS candy shopping time playing computer games I only had $11.00 in my wallet for a ticket, soda, and popcorn. It’s 2006, $11.00 ain’t gonna cut it.
After paying $6.75 for the ticket I had about $4.00 left for snacks. I asked the teenage summer job workers how much for a small and a small (they totally knew what I meant) and said it would be six something. The popcorn boy asked if I wanted butter (it’s real butter – remember Carrie?) and I said, “Wait, I don’t have enough money.” It must have been his last day before going back to school or something because he’s like, “We’ll just take whatever you have, butter?” So they took my $4.50 and said enjoy the show. And I did.
Thanks Spectrum!
