I’ve been to the fancy cinema with the recliners near my house a few times now and have fallen back in love with going to the movies. Now that I know that Wednesdays are their almost reasonably priced day ($62 general admission), going to the movies is going to fall back into my regular rotation. Yes, there are less expensive cinemas in M\u00e9rida, but this one is such a comfortable walk away and, again, it has recliners<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The previews the two times I’d been advertised a special for the first third of 2018 where each month would feature a Tim Burton movie. April was… Batman<\/em>!!! I was ten when\u00a0Batman<\/em> was released and I’m pretty sure I never saw it in theatres because I know for sure that I never saw\u00a0Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade<\/em> in theatres either and it came out the same year. So of course, I put\u00a0Batman<\/em> on my schedule for this week and bought a ticket online to make sure I got a good seat. I was able to pay for the ticket with my Mexican debit card just as if it was a credit card. The e-receipt said that I just had to go to the ticket office, say I bought an online ticket, and then present the card I used to purchase the ticket — no fumbling around with my phone to pull up a proof of payment.<\/p>\n

The movie was at 8:00 last night, so I left around 6:40 to be able to grab a fancy burger and a pint before the show. By the time I came out of dinner, it was 7:50 — perfect timing! I crossed the street to the theatre and went to claim my ticket, an easy process.<\/p>\n

The showing was packed<\/em>. I was so glad I bought my ticket in advance and got the seat I wanted. For this special showing, there were no previews, so the movie started just a few minutes past 8:00. At this point, I still had no idea if I was getting an English movie with Spanish subs or a dubbed version. So I was delighted when dialogue started and it was in English with subs.<\/p>\n

The next couple of hours flew by. Despite how dated the movie looked, it really held up and it was such fun! I was super amused that in Spanish, Batman is Batman, but Bruce Wayne is… Bruno D\u00edaz. No one else’s name is changed. Huh!<\/p>\n

The movie finished at 10:00 and I was listening to Bonita’s howls of delight at her mum being home by about 10:20. \ud83d\ude42 It’s such an easy walk, especially at night because there isn’t as much traffic and it’s easier to cross Calle 60. I walk fast and there’s a bit of a shortcut to come in from the back, so unless I’m stuck waiting for ages trying to cross, I can do the walk in about 15 minutes. The walk home was particularly lovely last night since the weather had cooled down so much.<\/p>\n

When I was househunting, being less than 2KM walking distance from a cinema was on my wish list and was something I thought I had sacrificed when I chose to rent this house because the cinema wasn’t showing up on Google when I looked for cinemas near my house. I’m so glad I found it! Now, I won’t have to miss any more of those big blockbusters that look better on a big screen. Time to go brush up on the Marvel universe so I can decide if I want to go see the latest Avengers movie next week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
