So last Thursday night my compadres and I set out for Bricktown to watch our very own Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Sacramento Kings in the final preseason game of the 2009 season (thanks to Chesapeake and my sister for the $126 tickets). This was a momentous occasion for 3 out of the 5 peeps in the group as they had never been to an NBA game before. Little did we know, this was only the bunny hill on the way to the double black that would soon cross our paths.As we left the game we walked past the movie theatre. For some time now, Sethy and I have been discussing how great it would be to see a movie in 3D. In fact, he tried to talk me into going to see Final Destination in 3D. LAME. Anyways, as we crossed the theatre we saw that the original Toy Story was playing in 3D. This was great, because even if the 3D thing sucked, we knew the movie would be phenomenal. As we got into line both Katie and Tristen proceeded to make a scene about the Toy Story movie in 3D. As the line standers began to stare, I knew I had to be quick on my feet in order to keep from losing man points in the eyes of all of the Oklahoma City late Thursday night movie goers. Immediately, I began rousing up a debate over which of the Saw movies were the best because there was no way Saw VI was going to be scary. Phew, crisis avoided.
As we slipped into the theatre we received our 3D glasses which were not your cereal box, plastic red and blue lens 3D glasses, no, they were Buddy Holly replica, wear out in public 3D glasses. As Woody came on the screen and asked us to put on our glasses, the six of us (4 college kids and two adults a few rows in front of us) did as he asked and put on our spectacles and prepared for the mind blowing experience that is three dimensional. Now, what is better than just one 3D movie you ask... TWO! That is right, to the surprise of all of us, this was not just Toy Story in 3D, but a double feature of both Toy Story one and Toy Story two! Now, if I had known this going into the 10:00 pm movie, I would have probably vetoed the idea, but for some reason when the unexpected bonus movie was announced, I was filled only with jubilee!
3 and a half hours and 3 dimensions later my mind was, "literally" blown, and we made our way back to Norman. I skipped class the next morning and slept passed noon. I wish real life could be 3D...
