Still, as today’s prompt is “The day I met Abraham Lincoln”, I guess I have to write about the day I met Abe.
It was a dark and stormy night. The kind of dark when even the white of the falling snow seems to absorb every ray of light from the street lamps. Every seat in the theater was occupied and there was a sense of expectation in the air.
It was a night made for tragedy.
The film was really good, though, and the popcorn was awesome.

And that's it?! I guess this really wasn't your idea after all.
ReplyDeleteI did not see the film, but everyone that did really liked it. Many fell in love with Lincoln, got to see another side of him.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great movie, I liked it a lot. I can definitely recommend you see it .:)
ReplyDeleteIt was CheesyMike!
ReplyDeleteHey ZIva! Heh! A masterful evasion, milady! I'm still chuckling in a dark, Scandinavian way, Z ;) Indigo x
ReplyDeleteEvasion? Me? Never!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, though. ;)
I met Mary Lincoln. I asked her "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
ReplyDeleteOh, genius twist!
ReplyDeleteLies!
ReplyDeleteEvery seat was taken? Oh my. I guess there wasn't anything better to do that night? Hee Hee. Glad you liked the movie.
ReplyDeleteI preferred Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
ReplyDeleteI never got around to seeing that one.. Wish I had, it looked pretty awesome. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was a big movie night. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteHaha!
ReplyDeleteCome here and say that!
ReplyDeleteVery clever. I'd love to see the movie sometime.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth the watch. :)
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me... I still have to go see this movie. I wonder how soon it will be coming to the discount movie theater? (So I can afford the popcorn.)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie yet, but it is showing at the theatre where you can order drinks and food. May have to go now that you have recommended it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I haven't seen it yet, but know the area in which it was filmed (my hometown).
ReplyDeleteI saw it on the plane back from Florida last week. I thought Daniel Day-Lewis was outstanding in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is so your fault. And CheesyMike's. Mostly CheesyMike's. But also yours. :-)
The white snow flakes absorbed the light from the street lamps? Then how did you see them? For that matter, how did you find your way to the theater? This entire post, short as it is, lacks a certain scientific credibility that I find troubling.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this prompt had better not be your fault. Because it sucks.
I wondered if this flick was any good. I'm sure the popcorn was good, but I must say I make better popcorn than movie theaters. It's the bomb.
ReplyDeleteI really need to see this movie. It's eerie how much Daniel Day Lewis looks like Lincoln
ReplyDeleteThis movie was a guilty pleasure for me. I expected it to be more jokey and tongue-in-cheek than it actually turned out to be. It's a movie with a comedic premise, but executed with a completely straight-faced tone. My fiance was bored, but I really got a kick out of it.
ReplyDeleteI just did.
ReplyDeleteOh, you mean to physically go to Finland and say that. I thought you meant in the comment section of your blog. Silly me.
The likeness really is striking. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do, huh? You'll have to prove that to me sometime.
ReplyDeleteYou suck.
ReplyDeleteMostly CheesyMike's. though. And yours. Totally yours.
ReplyDeleteReally? Wow, that's pretty exciting!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely. Especially if there's alcohol and food involved. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have discount movie theaters? Life is so unfair.
ReplyDeleteOhh, now I must see it.
ReplyDeleteCoward.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind proving, but there's that big pond in between that might make it hard. ;)
ReplyDeletePesky little pond. I'll just give you call next time I'm across the pond, then?
