Tuesday Night, Date Night...

(This is my 400th post!)

On Tuesday night Abi and I went to see Inception, which was completely and utterly amazing!

Our TV and internet provider (for our apartment) gives their customers a reward card which gives you discounts at certain shops and Planet Hollywood - but the best bit is that every Tuesday you get 2 FREE cinema tickets! So we thought we'd start to use them, the only problem is that a lot of people use the same internet provider and have the same card and the offer is only valid at 3 cinemas in Manhattan - so the cinema was more than a wee bit busy. In the end we didn't get our free tickets, and we ended up going to see it at another cinema, but we know for next week to book ahead... anyway.

Despite not going to the free cinema in Chelsea, we did get to discover a new area of Manhattan and discovered some very interesting looking places to have tea next time we use our free tickets. This place looked brilliant - the Trailer Park...

I think we'll be heading there next time.

Inception was absolutely mind-blowing, I can't wait to go and see it again. It's so clever, so imaginative and beautifully shot, is incredibly well written and is very complicated (I'm still asking myself questions now), but in a good way. It was one of the best films I've seen in a long time. I won't tell you too much about the plot (because I don't understand it all), but it's all about shared-dreams and planting ideas in people minds through visiting them in dreams. It's great.

Despite not getting free tickets, we did get free popcorn! I've got a loyalty card thingy for the Regal Cinema round the corner from work, so you get points when you buy tickets and despite never actually using the card, I got a voucher for 1 free popcorn and a second popcorn for $1... so we got something for free.

On our way out of the cinema we spotted a very (very, very, very) minor celebrity. Someone called Charlie who's in the MTV 'reality' series The Hills. I think we were the only uncool people who would ever recognise him, he's not even a main character in the programme, he's been in it about 6 times. Still, it's another one for the list.

It was an fantastic night, Inception is well worth watching, and was well worth paying for. I think we might go and see it again.
