THAT TIME I SAW A MOVIE IN ITALY

Strangest movie experience I have ever had.

For starters it probably didn't help I was going to see Breaking Dawn, despite the fact that I despise the twilight series I have seen every movie in theaters (I can thank Melissa Zambito for 1-3). I find them so incredibly bad that I cannot hold back laughter at the horrible acting of Taylor Lautner and his whining, the complete lack of plot, or Kristen Stewart's constant "I think I might be constipated" look on her face for two hours.

So a few of us get dinner at Gusta Pizza, then we meet up with some more friends and we head to the movies. We run into our program advisor Chiara on her bike headed to a friends house, we're kind of obsessed with her, she's amazing. Then we run into Hazel who was leaving the movie theater having just seen it. We head in and the movie theater is one semi big room, no raised seating and one small white screen attached to the wall. So no previews (disappointing, I love previews and was hoping to see some with Italian subtitles) and the movie starts.

The movie did not disappoint for being completely and utterly horrible. It had a few this is so bad I can't help but chuckle moments, but hands down the best part aside from reading the Italian subtitles for time when Kristen Stewart said ....whatever.. or that's totally cool, was the intermission! Right as Jacob had another I'm a baby boy still going through puberty and here is where I auspiciously storm out of a room moment, BOOM INTERMISSION.... WHAT?? So then we had twenty minutes while some Italians got their gross smoking fix to dissect how ridiculous this movie was and then resume to it's ridiculousness.

So I got to have an abroad movie watching experience, it was worth the 6 euro ticket and 5 euro large popcorn (I cant deny my need for movie popcorn... it's bad).
