Precious is on Fire…Literally!!!

Landmark Theatre

I have to start by saying one of my favorite past times on the weekends is eating popcorn. The only problem with this is that the only way I can get the type popcorn I really want is to go see a movie. I think it’s racial…ha ha. So this past weekend, to get some popcorn, I went to see the much anticipated new movie Precious at Landmark movie theatre in LA.

One of the main things I love about going to the movies is to ease drop. *to the tune of Head Bussa* I don’t know about you but I’mma Ease Dropper. …especially at a movie like Precious, which brings very drastic points of view from people based on what they have heard or read about the film. One couple was saying they heard it was the film of the year, another couple was saying they just knew they were going to cry and one douche bag (can’t believe I used that phrase) was trying to showoff to his date and tell her how he spent years on the inner city streets of Chicago where he helped many of a kid like Precious. Word Son? I’m sorry, your trendy outfit and you complaining about how valet was full, so its ridiculous the WALK you had to take from the garage, really doesn’t add up to me…but that’s just me, I’m just the Ease Dropper. I don’t know about you but I’m an Ease Dropper (I just had to sing it again).

Anyway, so we are nearing the climax of the movie and things are getting out of control!!

Sidebar: If you haven’t seen the movie I won’t give it away, but I will just say, where did the second UNBROKEN TV come from (that’s just me, I’m big on detail)?

We are just about to hit the climax, of the movie that is, and BOOM!!!! Yes there was a boom…movie screen goes blank. I’m thinking oh my gosh is this part of the movie…that’s so powerful…wait why are the fire alarms going off…dang they planned that too…they are so right, this is the movie of the year!! Still noot sure why it took me about 5 whole minutes to realize their was an actual fire. We evacuate the building and let me just say their is a certain group of people who tend to not realize their surrounds and this group of people decided they wanted to stand right in front of the door not realize there is about another 500 people who need to get out of the building. I may not remember a lot from 3rd grade but I do remember that when there is a fire you are supposed to cross the street. Thank you Mrs. Hatcher you did make an impact!

After about 15 minutes and two fire trucks later, we are allowed back in after it’s determined that some douche bag (so nice I used it twice) threw a lit cigarette in a planter INDOORS. See he deserved that name. I digress, so we get into the film only to have them start the movie 3 minutes ahead of where it left off. When the movie ends we are pleasantly informed by the manager that if we keep our ticket stubs we can come back and see it again for free. What? I don’t want to see that movie again for a couple of reasons:

  1. Because last time I saw it there was a fire and I don’t need a pattern to start developing.
  2. By far one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. Why would I want to sit through that again? That’s not an old faithful you watch over and over. I will never be in my DVD collection. You don’t pull that over when company comes over. You will never hear say to one of my boys yeah son I’m about to go home and watch that Precious joint again. I just love the way it makes me feel about life.

Needless to say, go out and support the movie. Overall I think it is was very well done and the lead Gabourey Sidibe really shines. Seacrest out.
