Normally, I hate going to the movies. I hate that when there is lots of room that people insist on sitting right next to me. I hate the people who talk about the dumb shit in their lives while I'm trying to take in the previews. And I hate that by the time the movie actually starts, my popcorn is half way done.
What do I love?
Free Shit.
I went to see a matinee of The Wolf of Wall Street ( I have to go to matinees because if I sit in a crowded theatre I get all angry like that goat from Sesame Street years ago...

Anyway...they started playing Monument Men instead! WTF do Nazi flags and artwork have to do with money, cocaine and Leonardo Di Caprio? I thought I was in the wrong theatre. Someone came out an apologized, they swiftly put Wolf of Wall Street on and many of us chimed in that we wanted free candy and popcorn. No dice.
But...
Even better, on the way out Cineplex made up for the SNAFU by giving everyone a free movie voucher.
They made this angry old goat very happy and I have new respect for their business practices.
