Free is Good

I wanted to see the movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" but kept putting it off when it was at the local theater. I knew there was a reason. Yesterday a library near me was showing it for free so I went. There were two showings, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. There were about 100 of us there in the afternoon. Ninety women of a certain age and ten men. What a friendly crowd. Lots of conversation between strangers before the movie started and lots of laughing during the movie. I had read the book and was surprised how the scriptwriters kept the characters and changed the plot a lot. I liked the movie more than I liked the book, mostly because I liked the actors. Lots of British favorites-Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkenson, and the young man from Slumdog Millionaire. Next month the library is showing "Moonlight Kingdom", another one I put off going to see and will now see for free. Free is good, isn't it?

I don't do movies, even the freebies on TV. But I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Sounds good. Libraries are such great places.

I am downloading my reading materials to my Kindle Fire free from the library now. It is so great to get a book in the middle of the night.

I am looking forward to the next free movie in October. Meanwhile I might spring for Finding Nemo in 3D.
