We went to the free movies (DVDs) at the clubhouse tonight and watched the film, Elvis. I enjoyed it very much. Tom Hanks was pretty incredible as usual and it was good to see two Australian actors in the film, David Wenham and Richard Roxburgh. For some reason it surprised me but it shouldn’t have as Baz Luhrmann wrote the screenplay and also directed, and he is an Australian.
Before the show, we were all given Toblerone bars, thanks to the social club which arranges all sorts of fun things for the village residents. On film nights, we all gather at the clubhouse about 6.30pm. Most take a drink of some sort and we sit and chat until the film starts at 7pm.

I don't like Toblerone, but I'll eat it if I have to...

Was that the newest Elvis movie that came out? It had Austin Butler as Evis. I haven't seen it. I like Toblerone. I used to give them to my nephews in their stockings at Christmas, when they were teen agers.

That’s cool! Those two chocolate bars would’ve cost you about $15 in a US movie house. 
Glad you enjoyed the film.

Sounds good living in a retirement village. I like Tom Hanks. He is a good actor.

Not had Toblerone for a while now Remembered not buying it at a shop in Melbourne as they were beyond the expiry date but later was told it was safe to eat them. And they were being sold for a song. Lost a good bargain.

We enjoyed the movie. This was on DVD too. We've borrowed Where the Crawdads Sing to watch it again.

That sounds interesting but I'm not sure I'd enjoy having people so close all the time. I like not knowing all the neighbors around us. Most don't even wave if we drive down the street. They don't recognize us any more than we'd recognize them if we saw each other in the grocery store.

Sounds like a fun night. Some of what you talk about makes me want to check out places here. But I would miss the open space to much

I've wanted to see that movie Elvis so I'm happy that you said you liked it. Sounds like a fun movie night at your clubhouse plus the added treat of Toblerone bars.

@JudyEv it's nice that you have activities in your village to enjoy when you're home.

I have of course always heard of Toblerone, but I am not sure I have ever had one. Either way, Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors and I can't think of much he has been in that wasn't good. Elvis will be on my list...but of course I will wait until it winds up on streaming one day.

I don't know where my last comment went but whatever. Tom looked so old in this - puffy face, overweight. The overweight bit would be easy to fake but surely the puffy face would be a bit harder. At times, it was hard to recognise him.

It was the ideal snack to have while watching a movie.
