A night out

After such a long, busy week we decided to take the night off and go to a movie. We were thinking about the Indiana Jones movie (mostly due to the fact that was the only picture we could recognize at the box office) but it started at 10:15pm and it was 7pm. So we asked what movies were starting now or in the next half hour or so. The gal mentioned a few (most we have not ever heard of) and then said something about the Hulk. So after confirming the movie would be in English (Hebrew subtitles) we thought why not... and bought two tickets. The gal told us we would be in row 5 seats 4&5. Assigned seating??? Strange. When we got inside there were plenty of seats so we sat where we wanted (didn't ever become a problem :-) We sat there for a couple minutes and then heard a doorbell (ding, dong) sound. 1 minute later we heard it again. Everybody around us seemed to think this was normal. After one more bell, the movie began. I guess it was a warning bell in case anyone was in the lobby getting popcorn. About an hour and half into the movie the screen flashed something in Hebrew and we heard the door bell again. Yep. Intermission time. They stopped the movie for about 15 minutes and after a warning bell, restarted the movie. It was quite an experience.
