When you're at our level, you basically run your local movie theatre, but today we were not treated right. A critical component of our weekly date night was missed and did that sour our experience? Possibly, but staying professional, we still persevered and enjoyed the new movie "Vengeance". Ourselves, we may wish to take some vengeance upon our theatre, but we won't. For now, please enjoy our tho...
