It's not exactly thrilling when she <I>is</I> but it's better than the other parts. I just... ugh. It was so pedestrian. There's more imagination in one scene (pick a scene!) of <I>All That Jazz</I> than there is in all of <I>KvK</I>.<BR/><BR/>In terms of movies breaking down. Well, this one wasn't a break, but when friends and I were seeing <I>The Bourne Supremacy</I> the movie stopped about 40 minutes in and the lights came up. And we were sitting there for, like, 10 minutes before a staff member came in and said there was A FIRE! Talk about taking their time. Turns out it was a false alarm and we all got free passes to go see another movie. They, thankfully, picked up at the start of the reel that we were watching at the time.<BR/><BR/>The first five minutes of <I>The New World</I> weren't projected onto the screen properly (it was more projected onto the ceiling). Luckily they fixed it.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't there (thank god) but two friends of mine went to see <I>The Holiday</I> recently and in the last five minutes the projector sort of exploded. They were told they could come back and watch it again with a free ticket they were given. Thing is, they saw it on Tuesday and the next day (er, Wednesday) was the last day it would be screening in our city (movies are released on Thursday here). They went in on Wednesday and just saw the last 15 minutes again.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81137960690855498842007-03-08T17:46:00.000-05:002007-03-08T17:46:00.000-05:00Rochester, NY is a delightful place.

So we're sitting there in the theater for like half an hour, and we're eating those giant pixie sticks (I think we may have, <I>must have</I>, been stoned) and we just started laughing uncontrollably and the sugar-O.D. made our faces hurt so bad we were practically crying. They'd turned the lights up in the theater which, oh my god, you never want the house lights on full blast in one of those suburban mega-theaters, the colors were all fluorescent green and purple and the floors and seats were... <I>unclean</I>... so we just had to leave.<BR/><BR/>During another college movie-going experience, a knife-fight broke out during the final ten knife-filled minutes of <I>Scream 3</I>.
