Superman Returns--No Spoilers Here

[calliopes_pen]

I just got back from seeing Superman Returns.

Here is what Dad and I went through to actually get to see the movie. We got there right as the theater opened at 11:30, and sat down.

After 30 minutes of previews, it was supposed to start at noon. Instead, they had technical difficulties, and didn't get the projector fixed until 12:30.

The other problem was that the first 10 minutes of the movie were fuzzy, squashed a bit, and odd looking. Suddenly, you could see someone's hand reach down, and straighten it. So I guess they noticed the problem, too.

I finally got out at 3 PM, and I am tired. It was a wonderful movie, and worth all the trouble--I'll post again later and include spoilers.

You know that scene right at the start, where Martha's washing dishes and things start to rattle?

Well... we'd been hearing thunder and lightning. I assumed it was part of the movie, because of the scene before. Right as soon as we were about to see what was up with that rattling... the power in the theatre cut out, and all we could hear was thunder as the projector died.

Eventually, after a false start, things were up and running smooth again.

Maybe it's cursed! :-o

If every single theater did that at the same moment, then it would be cursed. :D

30 minutes? Sheesh... all the ice in your drink would've melted by then...
This is why I try to take a book or at least a "Crossword" scratchie to pass the time.

And maybe *all* the films are meant to start fuzzy like that, and it's meant to be Supes' hand fixing it :lol: *sticks fingers in ears since not seeing for another week*
