Star Wars
We saw Star Wars Episode 8 today. It was fun! I know a lot of old school fans weren't tremendously happy with the direction taken, but I'm pretty excited. I think the Star Wars universe is headed in a great direction.
We did have some early excitement at the theater. We'd gotten tickets for a 9AM showing, and of course we were early, because we are always early (we prefer not to be rushed). About 8:30, it appeared doors were open, so we headed for them.
A worker told us we'd have to wait outside because they were not yet open, then invited in a person who'd been sitting outside the theater.
I was curious and asked, "Is she an employee here?"
Worker: "No."
Me: "What is the difference between her and my family?"
Worker: "She's been waiting outside in the cold."
Me: "We are waiting outside in the cold."
Bubbles: "It's 32 degrees out here." (Note: It really was 32 degrees. I'd checked because earlier Bubbles had said that it wasn't freezing and I said, "Well, actually..." because I'm that nerdy).
The employee went inside to check and then invited us to come into the waiting area. As we came in I reminded her, "If you enforce your policies selectively, you can be sued for discrimination."
Ellie was a bit shocked that I was, as she put it, "Hardcore." I didn't feel that way. I just don't like discrimination no matter who directs it against whom.
