Okay, so it wasn’t as spectacular as I had planned, but the best is yet to come! Also, I have an interesting story to tell.
So I’m at my friend’s dorm at about 6:30, (the movie starts at 7:40) working on homework, and I start letting everyone know it’s time to go. Originally, there were supposed to be about 6-7 people going with me, but it came down to 4 in the end, including myself. Kind of a bummer, but I find out later, it’s for the best.
I ended up leaving a bit late, and had to fuel up. My friends call me on the way to the theater (they’re driving separately) to ask for specific directions. As i get closer to the theater, I realize I’m gonna be about 10 minutes late, which isn’t a huge deal considering the space for previews and Partly Cloudy (I don’t mind missing that, but ANY of the movie would make me upset)
We get to the theater, I put on my new fan shirt (this thing is hardcore, I’ll send pics later) And I go inside to get my ticket
The lady recognizes me, and I say “One for Up please.”
Then, terror strikes.
At first I’m not thinking it’s so bad, but it is.
“We don’t have any more for Up. The last showing already started.”
“Wait, there’s no Up for 7:40?”
I run outside to check the screening times. Sometime between Sunday and Thursday, they changed the time from 7:40 to 7:15. What the heck?!
So I run back in, and i just say “Oh well, I’ll just come back tomorrow.”
And then the words that could kill me
:This is the last night.
Feelings of rage, confusion, and sorrow flooded my mind, I was freaking out. The movie was still playing, I ran in the theater, and it was about 45 minutes into the movie. No one was even in the theater. I go back out and ask if she could restart it, but she says no, they projectors have to run all the way through, it’s a process.
But, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
A theater usher tells me there’s another theater about 6 miles away playing it, and it has very late showings. Thank the lord for that man, seriously.
So we make a trip to the other theater. We get there at about 8:15ish. The last 2 showings were for 7:55, and 9:55.
Great, I had to wait for an hour and a half with all my friends. It felt kinda lame. We found a nearby game story and hung out there to kill the time til the movie started.
The screening itself wasn’t too bad, but my friends occasionally teasing me over the movie during it was a bit irritating. That was the biggest problem. The theater was rather podunk and dilapidated, but I could watch that movie on a cell phone with terrible sound quality and still be satisfied. Hehe.
Then, I took my friend home. What happens next, I’ll just have to show you. I’ve still got a bit to do over this, gimme a bit. Should be done over the weekend. But I promise you all, it WILL BE EPIC. I’ve already done it, I just have to get it ready.
Prepare yourselves Pixar Planet (and Pixar! snicker )
