What a week! After a very nice ten days at my parents', they told my hubby and me, "Go on, you're going home, the kids can stay with us for a week, we'll drive them round next Monday."

Whew! So, we indulged in all the things we hadn't done in almost six years. Staying up until 1 AM, playing computer games, watching late night action movies, drawing and painting for hours, going out for dinner, then to see a movie. We spent a day in Cologne reminiscing on our student days - eating at the MAGNUS, kissing in the doorframe where I used to live (and where we first kissed), visiting the "English shop" and buying Tango, Aero peppermint and Boost bars, and going to the Cinedom to watch Inception.

First off: Great movie! It really kept your brain on its toes, so to speak, to stay ahead of all the twists and levels. In the end, we were able to witness that, apparently, we were smarter than the majority of moviegoers.

The movie was noticeably wrapping up. Leo DiCaprio is back home at the airport after the mission was successful, he waves happily to Michael Caine - - -

Lights on, Diana Ross from the loudspeakers.

Me and hubby exchanging a startled glance.

Three hundred and twenty other moviegoers also exchanging startled glances, then shrugging, picking up empty popcorn bags, and heading for the exits.

Hubby and me, and some twenty other people, staying in our seats, looking around uncertainly. No way. This was never the ending for that movie!

We finally went out, as the very last people in the cinema, to find some twelve to fifteen people standing around a guy who was talking to the cinema management on the phone, then finally told us to go back in so we could watch the remaining one and a half minutes (which held a rather cool twist, and of course finally showed Leo's children's faces, something I'd been waiting for for the entire length of the movie).

How thick can you be, or how well-conditioned, to just leave the cinema when the lights go on and Diana Ross plays?

Weird.

Heheh. I can imagine all that people:
"Hey dude, it was a cool movie. But that ending was weird. Somehow... cut short or something..." :D

Haha, I'm famous among my friends for ALWAYS staying in the theatre to watch the credits. It's a pity that where we usually go, they switch on the lights and stop the film once the film ends and the first credits are shown. EVEN IN PIXAR MOVIES, DAMMIT. D: :XD:

And I'm SO going to watch Inception.:D

First thing I thought was "Oh, boy, I am so not having kids, haha." I am 24 and my parents just had a baby and from my perspective it's a nightmare come to life. I am glad you liked the movie though.

When I go to see a movie, I always stay until after the credits. Too many times there has been a minute or so of extra footage, and I don't want to miss that! =)

I thought it was a great movie... one of the best I've seen in a long time.

And I LOVED the ending and how you just don't know....

OH MAN NO!! Not the dramatic awesome ending.

I've loved seeing the ending of that movie in the cinema, nobody breathes at the end, then somebody goes "No Fricken Way."

It sounds like you guys had a cool week though, :P
And Captain Savvy, i cry for you.
