wednesday was quite an abundant day. some weeks ago, denny's had an offer to join their e-club and receive a coupon for a free burger and plate of fries. and quite some time ago i'd redeemed some program points or another and received a silver certificate from amc theaters. so, i chose wednesday to use my coupons.
first i went to denny's at sunset and wilton. the server hadn't yet seen one of these free coupons and went to ask the manager if it was ok to honor it. sometimes corporate doesn't tell its stores about its promotions. in this case, i was prepared to go through with ordering a burger and fries anyway and get a receipt to send to corporate for reimbursement if there was a problem. the server came back to me, apologizing for any delay and offering to upgrade to a cheeseburger but making the point that the coupon did not cover a drink. i knew that and it wasn't an issue. the burger was pretty good.
so i next headed over to the amc theaters in century city to see "shutter island." the amc silver certificate made the movie free so i didn't have to present my movie lover's card to record my ticket purchase, but i did anyway. their scanning my card kicked out a coupon for a free small popcorn. nice!
i was very excited to see "shutter island." dennis lehane is one of my favorite authors. "mystic river," based on one of lehane's novels, is my favorite movie. and leonardo di caprio is one of my favorite actors. i could see the work they put into it. i'm still thinking about the movie itself. i'm trying to figure out if di caprio played it straight, or if he played it as a disturbed man with the sincere belief that he was solving a crime. or was there even another layer of the portrayal? hmm.
