bought three tickets to brokeback mountain online so i could be sure to get them before the damn place sold out. got to the theater, and only ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellen_fremedon was there to join me. swiped my credit card at the automatic box office thinger and got four tickets. blinked a few times, checked at the literal box office to make sure they were all tickets and not some combination of tickets and receipts (which they were), and promptly sold two of the tickets to people who were disappointed to hear the thing was sold out. (for a few cents more than face value, i admit -- i paid $9.25 + 44 cents tax, and each payer-back gave me $10. were we going to get nutty about 31 cents? we were not.) checking my e-mail upon returning home, i find that the confirmation is in fact for three tickets. so it appears i sold a ticket i had never paid for. try it! :-D
movie: well, yes, very good indeed. and very sad; it hurt my heart, although i didn't cry, which is vaguely surprising because on a scale of 1 to 10, i'm about a 7 when it comes to crying at movies (and whatnot). the photography was beautiful, also, wasn't it? whoo. (it was important to me to see it on a movie screen, rather than waiting for DVD, and i'm glad i stuck to my guns about seeing it today, since today is the only chance i'll have to see it here and it's not playing in my home town.) and there are definitely some things to have a think about. in particular, without spoiling anything (though there will probably be spoilers in the comments, if any), there's an important moment in a scene late in the movie that includes a quick flash to another scene; do we think that's real, or in someone's head?
