Took Ella to her very first movie today. Disney's new "Tangled." She didn't much appreciate it and was more interested in the lights on the theatre stairs, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Way to go Disney, they've done it again! If you haven't seen it yet, go! I think it's the best one they've done since Beauty and the Beast. Absolutely adorable and Mandy Moore did such a good job being a believable Rapunzel. The music is wonderful too, they did some cute numbers, my favorite being "I've got a dream." I can't wait for this one to come out on DVD. In fact I got online tonight to find the soundtrack. You can download it off Amazon for $3.99. It's my new favorite. Check it out!
I only have one complaint. Why do the theatres pump the volume so loud on all the movies?! I've stopped going to the theatres all together for two reasons. One, it's hard with a baby to get out, and two, it's always so loud that I think my eardrums will burst. I really don't need my seat to be shaking to enjoy the film. And this one made me really mad since we had a theatre of precious tiny ears to protect. I didn't even make it through the previews, I found the manager (and this isn't my first time doing this either!) and had him turn the sound down. He was very nice about it and the movie was still completely enjoyable. I know I sound old, but seriously I don't want to go deaf before I'm 50. I sometimes don't think we realize the extreme decible of things we're sorrounded by all the time and I worry about Ella's hearing a lot! Tell me I'm not alone, otherwise I will feel horribly old!

You're not alone, Sarah, and good for you for chasing down the manager! I always wear earplugs when I go to concerts [of the non-classical type, that is] for the same reason. The ability to hear is precious, and losing the ability to decipher the finer elements of sound because your ears have been blasted out is a sad loss that can't be recovered. If more people would speak up at theaters, music venues, and even public transportation systems for the ridiculously loud PA systems, we would all be better served.
