It's weird to think that something as simple as going to the movies is so different. I personally love the whole idea of movie theaters. I really love them. I'd rather see and action movie on a big screen than at home. And we get to live through the wonderful time that is now. A time when a lot of movies are coming from books. 

I have gone to the movies three times here. It's actually quite different but it's great. 

First, it is so cheap. Like so so cheap. In the day the price of a ticket is roughly $3.50. Popcorn (I get caramel corn) is about $2.50. Also the popcorn is the perfect size. Not absurdly huge like in the States. 

Second, they have the box office the same. That's where you but the ticket. But there's a separate line for every movie playing. Also the times are the same for every movie. 25 LE for 10:00 and 1:00. And then 45 LE for like 3:00, 6:00, etc. (I think, check the listings for actual times). So when you buy the tickets they have this tablet that has the seating chart. 

Like this but smaller because it's a movie theater. Then you point to where you and your friends want to sit and they tap the places if they're free. Then, stickers print out and they tape them to the tickets. You give the tickets to the usher and you don't have to worry about finding a seat. It's great :)

So now you're sitting in your seats currently fangirling through the trailers and the movie starts. During the movie (and some trailers) there are subtitles in Arabic and French. Then, halfway through the movie, it stops. Don't worry!! It's okay. It's just a break. That's when you get popcorn or go to the bathroom because apparently Egyptians can't hold it through the whole movie. You go get your reasonably priced, reasonably sized popcorn and go back and watch the rest of the movie. The end. 

Anyway, I just think that it's neat how it's so different. I mean it's kind of nice and organized and cheap a'f. It's great. 

I also told you all this because I say Mockingjay Part One today. And no spoilers but so good. Jennifer Lawrence is really talented and if you don't agree with me, you, no offense, are dumb. Also, the movie was really good. They separated the book into two parts so they get to put a bunch of stuff from the book in and yay. If you haven't read the book you might be a little confused at the beginning. WARNING: SPOILERS if you have read the book, seeing it with a non-reader could be fun because when again SPOILER peeta gets to 13 and freaks on Katniss the non-reader's reaction is really funny. END OF SPOILERS. 

So my dad doesn't read my blog because they're too long so here's a 145 characters or less version of this post. I'll see if I remember to do it on most posts.

So if you don't like to read or you know someone who would enjoy my blog but doesn't like to read more than the capacity of a tweet, just scroll down and I'll include like a mini tweet sized blog post at the end. 

Okay. Love you guys. Stay beautiful.
