so after my totally awesome fun day that I described in the last post, we went to see a movie. theaters here are very similar, but there are obvious differences. when you walk in, there isn't a counter where you buy tickets, theres just a computer touch screen thingy that you click the movie you want and buy tickets. also, you have to choose your seat while you buy the ticket, which is actually kind of clever because then you don't have to be right next to anyone if its not too full and you know where you're going to sit so you don't have to look for a seat. so that was nice. also the theater is on the second floor, above lots of different little shops. however, there might only be a few like this, because the whole building was called 'kinepolis' so it could've been a little mall thing, then they added a theater. there are probably just theaters out there somewhere. so after you buy your ticket, you go through the little place where they tear your tickets or whatever, and past that is where you can get food! yay food. so theres all the regular popcorn and soda, but theres also this candy thing, like at supermarkets, where you have a bag and scoop whatever candy you want and you pay as much as it weighs. here they had all Haribo candy. yum. so we got some of that. anyway, we walked into the actual theater part, and it was basically the same as in America except there were much more comfortable seats, and it was wider; like the stairs were wider, and the seats were farther apart. it was nice. so we watched the movie (tu eres el siguiente: you're next, a horror movie, which I don't like, and it was just weird, the Spanish kind of made me laugh anyway, but I kept up, it was obvious what was happening) and at the end, you go out a different way than you went in. you come in through the hallway thing, and here its only on one side, and you exit through a door on the other side, which leads to a hallway which goes outside. also overall, the whole theater building was bigger. there were many more places to sit and talk, and there were more TV's showing different trailers or what not.
so yeah. Spanish theaters
