Never Hurts To Ask - Two Life Lessons

That has long been a motto of mine, and it should be one of yours, too. Read on!

So - True Story (And Life Lesson #1)

Thor came out a week or two ago, and of course I wanted to see it. Today was the day! It was awesome (and well, who can ever get tired of looking at Chris Hemsworth. *swoon* But I digress, hehe). But when it was over, it was so good (or fun, might be a better word) that I wanted to see it again. Like - right then.

On the way out, I asked the ticket taker if it was okay to watch it again. He was so awesome, he gave not just the theater number, but the time the next one started! Seriously! No paying for a second ticket, nothing! I was very excited, and guess what - totally enjoyed the movie the second time!

The moral of this story? It never hurts to ask!

So - Another True Story (And Life Lesson #2)

If you don't know, pretty much all the Marvel movies have scenes during and/or after the credits. And they are pretty good ones. All the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have them, too, as do some of the Harry Potter movies, and so on. 

How do I know this? Because always at movies, I have stayed to the end of the credits. Always. How else did my friends and I figure out there would be another Aliens movie? 

This sort of thing didn't used to happen as much as it does now. It was just a private little joke amongst us dorks that stayed to the end. Sometimes you got the little nuggets that others didn't realize were there.

So the story part. Thor (just the shirtless scene alone was worth the price of admission. Just sayin'. And I digress once again.) There were these guys sitting near me in the theater, and when the movie "seemed" over, they made ready to leave. I um... kind of wouldn't let them. Sort of. I just told them, "You know the movie's not over yet, right?" And they answered no, of course. I told them there were two more scenes! (There are, and that's not a spoiler! You should be staying already!)

I mean, if they had insisted, I would have let them by. But honestly - who doesn't know by now that all the Marvel movies have scenes at the end?! And that doesn't begin to cover all the other movies out there that have such coolness! What awesomeness have you been missing in your hurry to get ensnarled in traffic in the parking lot?!

And this isn't always just about movies...

So -  this lesson?

Always stay to the end. It's always worth it, even if it might not seem like it at the time.

And that's all I got tonight. Isn't that enough? ha ha
