yesterday I went to the movies...
had a free ticket to spend so let's go for THE blockbuster of 14 years ago: TITANIC
... now in 3D
the movie started at 7.45PM
(... actually the previews start then, but we don't wanna miss those, now do we)
right on time I hand in the ticket (and paid 2€ surplus, cause cleaning the 3D glasses costs sooo much every time)
I'm properly installed when the light are dimmed...
a screen pops up: "the movie starts in 15 minutes"
o_0
wow... that's a lot of time for previews...
anyway preview time (and I completely forgot which previews so probably not about movies I wanna see)
another screen pops up: "commercials"
oh bah...
fanta, the event the world's going crazy about: the olympics "sponsored by coca cola" (pronounced with a laim not to be determined accent), something mysterious called "brightfish" (anyone any ideas who the one-eyed fish with the pointy tail is?), a commercial by the largest Belgian electricity company (with a funny dog :)), a new VW Beetle commercial (with the slogan "if you were good in the past life, you'll be rewarded in the next (which brought me to thinking what the hell I did wrong in my past life to go through all my thesis crap, but that's another story))...
and I believe there were more... I started watching the people around me, the commercials stopped being funny
anyway... a new screen pops up: "the movie starts in 12 minutes"
WHAAAAT!!! another 12? how's that even possible???
well, I'll tell you how that's possible: the following 7 minutes were filled with inquiries, commercials for "kids at the movies" (it's on Sundays), "ladies at the movies" (it's on ... ehm forgot...), probably also "teenagers at the movies", "secretaries at the movies", "dogs and cats at the movies" (cause they want their treat too) or whatever, some (I'm not interested in those) facts about the movie that's coming up, a MCQ about some actor or director or... from the movie that's coming up (I'm NOT joking unfortunately), again commercials...
another screen pops up (and you think, aaah the movie's starting): "the movie starts in 5 minutes"
o_0
I believe they played a new round of previews, possibly 3D upcoming movies... I'm not really sure
but since everybody around me was wearing the same type of glasses and a freaky anaconda snake crawled up right in front of me (and apparently also right in front of my girly side, front and back neighbours, judging from their shrieks)... it probably was 3D
new screen: "enjoy the movie"
... ow, there was a movie, right... thx for notifying... I almost got up and left the premises
what movie was I going to watch again???
