My Favorite Person To Watch Movies With…

While this blog is dedicated to the movies I watch and the people in them, I have spent little-to-no time writing about the people I watch movies with. I am going to take a moment to gush about my favorite person to watch movies with. Obviously, that person is my fantastic hubby Chad, or Chadders in the inner-circle. My parents come in a close second, but I’ll talk about them later.

Chad’s passion for movies was not as great as mine in the beginning of our relationship; however, over the years his love-affair with cinema has blossomed. He could probably even tell you what movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture last year and which movie was number one at the box office last week.

On any given weekend you can usually find us at the local Cinemark, souvenir cup in hand (it gets us $1 refills, holla!) and popcorn buttered. Chad likes to get to movies early, I mean early, like an hour to an hour and a half before the movie starts. For example, we get to the theatre; it’s 1pm, there’s a 1:30 showing and a 2:15 showing, he picks the 2:15 showing. It’s a running joke in the family, “we better get there at midnight the day before.” We get our drinks and snacks and wait, and wait and wait. Chad usually partakes in some video games. The reason behind all this madness; Chad has a very specific seat preference and if he doesn’t get it, then all is shot to heck. As much as I make fun of his OCD movie seat tendencies it really is adorable.

Chad’s awesome in the fact that he is willing to watch anything with me. (Except Sex and the City, he changed his mind last minute and wanted to go, but was promptly un-invited…I was going with my girls!). He has seen every Leonardo DiCaprio movie and every Cameron Diaz movie. Luckily for him, I am also into gross-out comedies and shoot-em-up action flicks.

Chad is the best movie buddy because…….He lets me put my feet under his leg in the theatre when my toes get cold. He fishes in the dark for all the red sweetarts to feed me. He always gets Cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper ‘cause their my favorites and forgoes his favorite Mountain Dew. He never skips the previews on a DVD because, to me, previews are one of the best parts. He has the most comfortable shoulder on the planet and lastly Chad is the best movie buddy ever because: no matter how bad the movie I always have a good time watching it with him :o)
