Have you ever went to see a concert, movie, or other form of entertainment where the audience added to the fun? 
Yesterday I went to see the Bucket List, which stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It passed my good movie criteria by leaving me feeling entertained and the time went by quickly during show.
What was really fun about going to see this movie was the other audience members. When I arrived at the theater I was surprised to see a line waiting to get in. Who would expect to see a line at 1 pm on a Tuesday? Apparently Tuesday is free popcorn day if you have a special card. I did not have the card, but the rest of the audience, which were senior citizens had the free popcorn cards. After I paid for my ticket I entered the theater and located a seat. This was the most people I had ever seen in an afternoon showing, nearly everyone in the audience were seniors and most were sitting there munching on the free popcorn waiting for the show to begin. I found seeing them all sitting there munching and not saying much rather amusing.
Once the show began was when I realized this was going to be a fun experience. Every funny part in the movie received lots of laughs from the audience, but what made this unique was the amount of laughter and how loud it was. The old folks were definitely enjoying the movie.
Most of the time I choose to see movies on weekdays and in the early afternoon because there are few people which means less distractions from rude people. Yesterday I almost decided to do something different when I saw the line to enter the theater and I am now glad I chose to stay. I think I need to get more information about when the senior citizens go to movies, because their participatory laugher turned going to see a good movie into a most fun afternoon.
