Tortured by Avatar and EOTD

Today I finally went to see Avatar with my good friend from highschool. We tried to see it on Tuesday, but they were sold out so we bought tickets for the next day same time. For some reason I thought it only took 30 minutes to get there to the IMAX theater. Boy was I wrong. On Thursday there was traffic at 1pm for I dunno what, so we arrived at the theater at about 2:15? and the movie started at 1:50pm... oops! We were just like, well, we'll finally see MOST of the movie this time. So of course there were NO seats! We ended up in the second row from the front after climbing over people to get there. I've never sat that close before. I usually try to avoid sitting in the front at all costs, but I was just like "whatever" this time since we were so late! Once I was with my brother and sister and they ended up sitting in the front, and I just sat by myself somewhere else. I'd hate to do that with friends, but with family I guess I can just be rude! hehe.

Gross Alert:
So yes, sitting in the front... I had nausea for most of the movie. I almost threw up 3 times. You know when your mouth starts watering it means you are going to throw up. The third time my mouth watered it was dripping out of my mouth, omg so gross. To clarify it was only water or saliva. No actual upchuck. I didn't even eat anything yet. I also felt some pressure coming up like if I let loose there would be spew to the guy in front of me. Instead of getting up I'd rather just sit there in silent pain. I'm just weird like that. There were times I felt normal so I just tried to enjoy it while I could. I either had my eyes closed or stared at the bottom third of the screen. I kept wondering when the movie was gonna end. :(

PLUS, my nose is flat which made the 3-d glasses uncomfortable! I specifically put in my contacts so the glasses could fit better (in my thinking), but I think now it would've been better to wear my glasses so the 3-d ones would have something to sit on.

Why do they bother having those torture chairs at all? Why was I the only one getting sick?

Despite all the torture and what I could see, the movie was still good! hahaha. And my friend bought me a drink afterward, that helped! I wouldn't mind seeing it again in a non-3d way from the back row. err.. maybe i'll just go see The Nine!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!
Mine was pretty low key this year. That's good anyway due to my headache from earlier! I ended up snacking on kettle corn, and tortillas chips with a chili-creamcheese-cheddar dip while watching Message in a Bottle. My dad REALLY wanted to watch it with us. It was good, but sad! :( He loves sad songs and sad movies.

Here's a look I did sitting in front of the computer watching this tutorial by another Stephanie!

  3. Happy New Year love! =]

    Sorry to hear about that awful throw up scene you had to dealt with. I hate it when it happens with that feeling that you're soon to throw up. It's a yucky taste too -__-' just YUCK! Sorry to hear about you sitting in the front. I only sat in the front once and it was because I arrived late. I guess I know how you got nausea, I've had it when I sat in the front. Being stuck in the traffic sucks =[ I guess it's because of the parties?

    Your snack sounds so yummy! I want some tortilla chips with dipping now =[

  5. Aw it sucks that you weren't able to watch the movie from a better seat ! Sitting in the front few rows is the worst, I always get nauseous too!
    If it were me I'd probably say forget it and buy tickets to the next show and start lining up for a super good seat, haha!

  6. i saw it this week too!! I debated watching it in 3d but I get motion sickness reallyyy quickly so I saw it in 2d.... and still felt a little sick LOL! it sucked that you had to sit all the way in the front! No movie is good when you're that close, unless it's with good looking half topless guys on the screen... anddd thanks for the card!! You're too sweet!! Have a safe and happy new years (:

  7. I remember watching Lord of the Rings in front row and being so uncomfortable and it wasn't even in 3D! So I could just imagine. I watched Coraline in 3d and got nauseous myself. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the glasses?

    Wish you lived closer cause I want to see Nine too!!

  9. aw.... poor you! avatar was great for me :) and I have a flat nose too so I went to watch it in NON-3D! Plus, my boyfriend's brother in law said that there wasn't much 3D action anyway so it's okay :D

    I went to watch the immaculate conception of little dizzle with my media tech people last year at a film festival and we were lucky to even get into the screening so we ended up at the front.. the VERY front row (and this happened in "the best worst movie documentary") and I LOVED IT! I guess it worked out better because no 3D glasses because my nose is non-existent but it just made the movie sooo much more better for me although my neck was hurting.. so I slouched down and practically laid in the seat and then my tailbone/ass started hurting! haha :D Just thought I'd share my experience with the front row movies ^_^

    Pretty look BTW, I like to wear gray/silver colors :)
