A rather serious title, don't you think? Especially since I'm not going to get into the twisted intricacies of destiny, fate, etc, beyond the fact that I wasn't meant to see The Amazing Spiderman. So yes, I broke down, and went with one of my buddies to see it this morning at the local theatre. We walked in during the "pre-show" opening stuff - it was an ad for Elementary. You know, the show that's a modern-day Sherlock Holmes but it isn't Sherlock. My immediate reaction to Elementary was something along the lines of "Wow, seriously?" but, I decided to give it a shot. Benefit of the doubt and all that. However, I only heard the ad. The screen was black.
Next came a series of other adverts - sound only. I went to the front desk and told them the situation. They informed me that it was completely normal. Really? It's normal for the screen not to work in a movie theatre? I'd have thought that was at least a little bit important. So anyway, I went back to my seat. And waited. And waited. There were random sound clips from various TV shows. Then we lost the sound for several minutes. And then, rather ironically, the speakers started banging out The Avengers' soundtrack.
Needless to say, the movie never came on. I guess I'll just stick with The Avengers.
