The Kat House

I took a much needed break from studying on Saturday evening to see a movie with a nice young man. He and I are both huge fans of the Saw movies, so we chose to watch Saw V. I had read some negative reviews, but we decided to reserve judgment until seeing the movie for ourselves.

I am happy to say that we were both pleasantly surprised. The movie flashed back to the previous four films, filling in some gaps and tying up some loose ends. We both really enjoyed it – except for one very distracting element.

Shortly after the opening credits, we heard snores back behind us! There were only a handful of people in the theater, so it was easy to pick out the culprit. He was sitting all alone on the back row, head tilted back, mouth open, and disturbing the peace of all those around him. The nice young man speculated that the old coot was sleeping off a drunken stupor, but I have a very different theory. I think his old lady tossed him out, and he figured he’d save a few bucks by buying a couple of movie tickets instead of springing for a hotel room!

Despite the fact that the snoring continued through the entire movie, we had a great time. The nice young man and I enjoyed an evening of terror coupled with good company. And well, I’m pretty sure the old coot had his best night’s sleep ever!
