Sometimes you go to the movies...

We signed up for Moviepass a couple months ago or so. It was a royal pain getting it going. Geli got her card like a month before me for some reason, even though we ordered it same day. And their customer service sucks. I emailed them like 5 times, no replies at all. Their phone number is just a machine saying to email them. Their chat service never gets back to you. It was a pain. But, the actual service, is quite good. We pay $10/mo for it. And you can go to any 2D, non-IMAX movie you want, at almost any theater, for free. One movie per day. So we've been going to the movies way more lately. We try to go at least once a week. Some weeks, we go more though. Last week we went twice. And it's painless. You check in on the app when you get to the theater, then you pay with the credit card they send you. Goes without a hitch. Haven't had any issues getting in.

We usually research a movie, watch trailers, etc before going. Last Sunday though, it was spur of the moment after a comedy show that ended early(9pm). So we just watched the next movie that was playing at the nearest theater, and holy crap. What a total waste of our time. We watched Tragedy Girls. Throughout the movie, I kept expecting it to "get good". IMDB has it at a 6.7, which for the genre, is decent. But nope. Never got good. There was no like-able characters, no character growth, all very flat. No real storytelling either. Not really funny. And I'll stop there, just in case any of you want to go see it, though I don't see why you would. So we will have to do more research in the future, because even though that was free, I felt ripped off. My time matters, and that was not even remotely good. We've also recently seen Mother!, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, and some others that I don't remember right now. 

Anyway, we like Moviepass. And we like being able to go to more movies. We'll just have to be more choosy in the future, or know that we will see some pretty bad ones also haha
