It's Gold Class, Jerry

We have only been to the movies twice since we've been here, and the first time was on a whim and we were a little surprised when we bought our tickets.  First, they are expensive - there is not a difference between matinee and night-time movie prices.  Second, they ask you where you want to sit and assign you seats (yes, like on a plane).  Third, you are allowed to bring your own food.  There are ads and previews that go on for at least 45 minutes from the allocated time of the movie to the actual start.  There was a Corona ad that went on for at least 5 minutes.

We both read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series and loved them, so we knew that we wanted to see it once it finally opened down here.  The ticket lady has asked us in the past if we wanted, "Gold Class," but we didn't know what it was and in an effort to make it sound like we're WAY cooler than we actually are, we always just say that we'll sit in normal seats.

A little investigation on the interweb, and we discover that "Gold Class" is really FIRST CLASS in the movie theater.  There is a lounge and bar, special seating, and waiters throughout the whole movie.

The movie was awesome, a little graphic, but a great flick.
The other people in the theater loved that I was taking pictures.
While Jeff thoroughly enjoyed Gold Class, it will have to be a special occasion for us to spring for first class movie tickets :).
