Thanks to the Grand’s insistence on letting Omaha get all of the good movies first, I had to head to the land of Lee Terry in order to watch “There Will Be Blood.”
I decided around four o’clock I wanted to go to the 8:45 showing at the Dundee Theatre. A few (read: five) other people came along for the ride, and we made it to the theater early enough to be some of the first to get tickets.
The first thing I noticed about the theater was its lack of sidewalk space in front of the entrance. I felt at any time I was about to get whooshed into the street by a passing pimped-out SUV, and everyone had to walk in single file, or you might push the old people into oncoming traffic.
My editor-in-chief, Josh, had to pay for me because the theater is apparently stuck in a time-before-debit-card-machines, and everything required cash. Basically, his paying for me made it a legal Man-Date, only we had four tagalongs. Thanks, Josh.
The theater’s decor was really nice; duct-taped seats, extensive foot room and a curtain that opened before the showing of the movie. Nice.
I enjoyed the movie, but I would’ve enjoyed it more if my thrice-drilled upon tooth wasn’t acting up. “There Will Be Blood” was making me want to rip my own jaw off, thusly proving the movie’s title. Minus the oil, of course.
When we walked back to my car, I was also happy to find out my illegal parking job wasn’t noticed by the police or anyone who likes to key 2000 Bonnevilles that park illegally. Thanks, Omahans. I appreciate you.
