Blades of Glory

Re: Blades of Glory

A few years ago I used to always make the trek down to the Waterfront (about 40 minutes from me). That theater is very nice. Yes, you can order meals on the second floor. If you pay extra money, you can get VIP tickets ($13 per ticket). What that does is allows you to get into a special section with leather seats and no waiting in lines - you can also get meals delivered to you in that section. I've done it a few times. Great way to watch a movie if you don't mind paying extra.

That sounds nice, even more so if there wasn't the trouble there that you described. I bet the "delivered food" was expensive.

Actually, not as expensive as you might think. Not fast food price, but decent for a restaurant. You could get chicken fingers or burgers and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure it was $10-$15 per meal.

The other good thing was that the leather seats are bigger than other ares. Extra leg room as well. Another cool thing is the seats can turn into a couch by lifting the center arm rest.

I'll have to head down there next time there's another big movie showing. I haven't heard any bad reports on the news recently so maybe they started to clean up some of the stuff I saw. It's a very nice area with some good restaurants and nice shops so I hated to hear about the shootings and some of the gang related activity that I saw a few years ago.

Here's a picture of the outside:

Wow, I wish we had a theater like that in the New Orleans Metro area. I like the separation per two chairs.

Teaming with "Napoleon Dynamite" star Heder on "Blades of Glory," Ferrell scored the second-best opening of his career ($33 million), behind last summer's "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which took in $47 million in its first weekend.

I actually saw the movie twice, Friday Night with my girlfriend, and a Saturday matinée with my niece and brother. This is my favorite Will Ferrell movie. The scene with Coach (Craig T. Nelson) TIVO rewinding a fight between Heder and Ferrell that was broadcast on TV and noticing their "skating chemistry" was hilarious.

It's a really funny movie, most of the theater was on the verge of tears from laughing durning their first competitive skate scene together. I would definitely go see it again if somebody else was going. I prefer Anchorman & Old School, but at least this is somewhere near that level, Talladega Nights was a lot less funny than his others.
