Movie in Sri Racha

Allie and I went to a movie (X-men origins: Wolverine) last night at Robinson's shopping mall in Sri Racha (about a 5 minute walk from my apt.!). A couple interesting notes: When we bought the movie ticket, you had to choose your seats on the computer screen. The movie showtime was for 7:25, and the ticket lady would not let us in until 7:20. They also took our shopping bags from us and gave us a locker number. At the beginning of every movie in Thailand, they play the national anthem along with a 'music video' of sorts to the national anthem on the screen. The music video is really corny and consists of Thai people all getting together on a Bangkok street to move a truck, which was in the way of the camera viewing a huge picture of the King. It consists of basically how great the King is. During the anthem, everyone in the theater must stand up. T-I-T. Oh, and everyone waited until the last credit rolled to leave the theatre.
