As I was chillen' in the box office with my co-worker yesterday, Keely Shay stopped by with her two kids and they were trying to convince her to come to my job and see a movie. The youngest was saying, "Hey mom, if we're going to come to this theater, we should see Win Win! It's an independent film starring Paul Giamatti. Anyway, she was a little reluctant, but she payed for herself and her two kids. Man, she must have been unburnt or something because she was peeling! Wow! Anyway, she looked to be in a bummed mood, but then again, she always looked that way whenever she stops by.

I'll never forget when I sold a ticket to Brosnan, he was yelling at his kids for skateboarding near him and almost crashing into something. It was funny. But yeah, he is a regular and just a really nice guy. But yeah, yesterday it was just her and the two boys. And as I went upstairs to get some food, I saw them coming into the theater and I started humming the 007 theme. Everyone got a kick out of it...mind you after she walked by lol! But yeah, just an interesting thing I wanted to mention.

Small world.

I think it was neat story, iBond. Must make your job pretty interesting!

Keely Shay is Brosnan's wife.

Oh, right. Didn't know that.

Seriously! I mean, it can get quite boring in the box office at times. So, all you can really do is just look out and see what passes by.

I had it in my mind that you sold tickets inside a theater lobby. The skateboarding part of your story makes a lot more sense now.

You must get a discount on movie tickets, right?

[iBond]

It's free for me since I work there.

[zencat]

Cool story. I love this kind of thing. Thanks, iBond.

BTW, what theater do you work at?

EDIT: Oh, wait, I know exactly where you work. I can tell by the pic (but I've forgotten the name). I used to go there all the time when I lived in the Marina. Love that theater. It was my favorite weekday hideaway arthouse.

Really nice story. The photo is removed? Nothing more rewarding than buying a ticket at the movies and expecting the movie to be good.

You mean of the box office? It's still there for me if that's the photo you're referring to. And yeah, but at least we don't play 3-D movies at my theater so we don't charge you the extra $4 for the glasses lol!

I hate 3-D. Makes no sense to me. The pic is removed, what I see is a frog in a cube and something to do with not having domain etc....

[iBond]

Oh well, anyway it's a picture of my point of view when in the box office. The ticket machine and computer register.

[ROGERJAMESMOORE]

Is she still getting the large buttered popcorn and diet coke ? lol

[iBond]

Actually the last time she came in she went straight to the show.

-RECOUNT YOUR DRAWER TO MAKE SURE ALL YOUR MONEY IS IN THE RIGHT ORDER

How does this work?

[iBond]

Well, sometimes if you aren't careful and if it's a rush, you might put a $20 in the $10 section and you might mess up in the end. Someone got fired for making that mistake and they accidentally gave $20 in change rather than $10. Small mistakes like that can lead to big problems in the end.

[KMiller007]

That is an interesting story there iBond. Aren't any celebrities popping by places I visit.

Somehow the images can be seen on my BB not on my laptop. Thanks again for the post and the interesting story.

[iBond]

No problem! Thanks for appreciating it!

Neat story. One of my friends used to work at a movie theater in Simi Valley. It looks like a cool job. If I ever get fired, I believe that's what I'll do.

[iBond]

Just let me know if you have any questions! I've worked at two theaters so far.

The Brosnan's stopped by my job again a few days ago to watch the new Brad Pitt film The Tree of Life. I guess his kids must have been pretty bored because his youngest came in the lobby riding his little skate-scooter around the place. Almost crashed into someone too.

My wife saw that film. She said there were parts that were so bad that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Needless to say, I think she would have rather spent her time riding around on Kid Brosnan's skate-scooter instead of watching Sean Penn and Brad Pitt brood, squint, and utter ridiculous dialogue.
