Serenity...
I was going to go see Serenity at 1:55 today. As it is now 2:15, you should observe that things did not go according to plan.
I went to the theater and got there by 1:15--just so Dad and I could be there early. (He wanted to go, too.) We got there and there were no cars in the parking lot--nobody around, and nothing being shown at all. Not even the employees were there. It wasn't even open.
Finally, after waiting until 1:45, someone showed up. They said they had never heard of Serenity being shown at 1:55, and that the first showing would only be at 4:30 PM. (It was a teenager. He didn't really care, and it showed.)
Dad was angry, and we went home. I checked the local paper's website, and it says 1:55 for the first showing. He called the theater, spoke to the manager, and we should have either free or half off tickets if we go at 4:30. Just because of all the trouble we went to in order to see it.
We're going to try to go at 4:30, even if that is later in the evening. I want to actually see it, and this is the only good week.
ETA: In the newspaper, it says 4:30. The newspaper's website, 1:55. Someone was wrong. Dad printed it out from the website so we could prove that it said that.
