Three movies, two weeks

Arnold had been talking about going to the movies for ages - I think since Italy actually. Well, finally he had the chance. After spending some time on the net he was able to find a theatre in Paris that played English movies AND that was close to the flat. First movie on the list - Hang Over 2. Then we went to see that X-Men movie and lastly Midnight in Paris. I think we would have gone and seen one more, but ran out of time.
It's funny how you tend to miss English TV/movies while away for so long. Since leaving Spain we haven't had English TV - not that its a bad thing, but sometimes there is nothing better then watching TV before bed. (ooh I guess we did watch English TV - we watched all of Season 18 of TAR on youtube - I was sooo addicted to it - I think we finished it in a week - my bad). Anyway, Arnold got to see some movies and I got to have theatre popcorn - it still isn't as good as the stuff back home, but it will due - you could mix sweet and salty - yum.

Anyway, the point of the post is that we had been going to the movies a lot and we noticed a couple things. There are theatres everywhere in Paris - I think we saw 3 different theatres on the Champs in 5 blocks. Also, they start playing movies at 9am. At first I thought it was a bit weird, but then we figured out why. The movies are ALWAYS packed!!! It is crazy. We went at different days of the week and different times and it never failed to be insanely busy. Like don't the Parisians works?? We went to the X-Men movie on Monday at 4:50pm and you almost couldn't get a seat and it was a big, big theatre. We were totally shocked.
Apparently they REALLY like their movies there. And shocking that so many would go to see a movie with French subtitles - you would think they would want it to be in French so they don't have to read all of the time??

So just a couple random thoughts for you about the movies in Paris (Oh and we LOVED their chairs - so comfy and the person in front of you wasn't blocking your sight - it was great). It is nice to be a bit caught up on some of the movies currently playing

Love Melissa and Arnold

PS the two weeks that we were in Paris, they had TWO holidays. TWO in less then two weeks - we are lucky if we get one holiday a month in Canada - these guys are always on holiday here, its crazy!
