Brother Ewell provides a service for
the community for Senior citizens and the Food Bank.
Every third Wednesday at Roseburg
Cinema is a free admission to Senior Citizens (or persons over 50) although
encouraged to bring a can of food.
I've never been to one until this
morning. Usually I forget - or just
haven't gone because it's Jenna's early day.
Movie is scheduled for Friday
afternoon - except for summer. The show
starts at 10:00 a.m. but we were told to
be there at 9:00.
So apparently the audience members
have a half hour to visit with one another before Bill (or Marilyn) gets up to
make announcements and introduce someone in the community and give out free
prizes to matching ticket numbers given upon entering the theatre lobby.
Roland took the time off to go with
me. I don't know if we'll be going
again. I don't think I will this summer
anyway. Maybe after school starts. We'll see.
This month's feature was "Me
Before You". I loved the character
that Emilia Clarke
portrayed. Lou Clark (the main character) appeared to
have come from a poor background, but had a healthy attitude and happy
heart. I liked that she was happy.
I understood Sam Claflin's character to a
degree, but would have liked to see him be more accepting about changing and
not be so bitter about losing what he considered his character and
identity.
Lou's boyfriend seemed far too
involved in himself and she just went along with his desires - until after she
tried knew things with Will and made discoveries that she may have never have
learned otherwise - even though she didn't agree with some of his choices. I believe it made her grow even more.
It had a lot of funny moments - I
think possibly more than the tear jerking moments. But there was definitely tear jerking.
Overall I thought it was a good
movie. I will see it again someday. I think Roland was quite grateful that we
hadn't had to pay for it. That is how I
feel about his movies. What a waste of
time and money on my part.
I sent him to the theatre with another
ward member when he wanted to see "Batman Vs Superman" - or whatever
it was. Neither Jenna nor I were
interested, and apparently no one in Ron's family was interested either.
One Sunday Ron suggested he and Roland
get together again - which seemed to upset Jenna.
"Don't go see 'Finding Dory'
without me!" I started laughing and
kidded with her.
"Yea, right. Ron came up to dad and said, 'You know, I
really enjoy those kid-vids, but I have two that will always talk throughout
the entire movie and ask questions . and
then there's the baby who doesn't even pay attention - so why don't you and I
go see "Finding Dory" together and see if we can enjoy it without the
kids.'"
Jenna didn't think my mocking her was
at all funny.
If Ron and Roland go to the movies
together, I can guarantee that it will be a movie that neither Jenna nor I
would like to see.
