So, it was a good movie. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd seen it sooner, before I knew much about it.

It started at 9:45 on a Sunday night, and as previously noted the mall where the theater is located is mostly closed for renovations. I was literally the only person in the theater. There were other movies that started a bit later, but I suspect no one was watching them. It was creepy being there by myself. When the movie was over, the theater lobby was deserted and the gates were closed at the entrance to the mall. I thought I might be locked in. Then an employee came into the lobby and showed me where there was a door that I could use. This took me the elevator to the parking garage, which was also deserted. I had to pay for parking at a kiosk before going to my car. I think most women know that deserted hallways and parking garages are unsafe. The whole time I kept my phone in my hand in case of emergency.

Yesterday I was telling a male friend about the whole thing. He did not understand why I was creeped out about being alone and worrying about my safety when I went to my car. I've had this sort of conversation with him before -- he has no idea how many situations are more dangerous for women than for men. I think many men have no idea.

Anyway. While I was in the car killing time before the movie started, I saw photos of the three lead actresses from the movie on stage at the Oscars with Katherine Johnson. I got home just after the whole Best Picture incident, so I missed the entire show on TV.
