A Movie Experience

Wow... We never thought that watching a movie in a theater would be such an adventure of its own. In the morning, we checked the movie theater's schedule for Los Pitufos (The Smurfs). According to this amazing website, it was supposed to start at 11:00 am, so we walked towards the cinema and took a taxi on the way there. We arrived there at 10:55 am, but the doors were locked and nobody would come to open them. Finally at 11:15 a man unlocked the doors and told us that the theater would not open until noon. I said, "But according to your website, this movie starts at 11:00!" So we went to the supermarket next to the theater and did more school shopping for an hour. At noon, we happily walked into the theater only to find out that this movie would not be played until 3:25 pm. We couldn't believe it!!! We went back to the supermarket and did more serious shopping, took a taxi back to the house, had lunch, and then went back to the theater. At 3:25, we were sitting in one of the theaters ready to finally watch this movie. Well...It was 3:30, 3:40, and finally at 3:45, they decided to start the movie. Jorge was a little anxious as he is Mr. Punctuality, but we couldn't believe we had this experience prior to watching the movie!!! We now know what to expect when we go to the movies and that's not punctuality. :)
