One of my few (many?) pet-peeves in life is being late walking into a movie. Whether it’s in the theater, or just catching it on cable… if I’ve missed the first 5 or 10 minutes, I don’t want to see it.
So yesterday, when we finally went to go see X2 (no kidding, it’s been out a month already?), we were running late and the parking lot was a nightmare. After all was said and done, we were walking in a solid 20 minutes late—forget missing the previews, the damn movie was already going. But not to be a whiney bitch about it, I shut up and sat down. Grrr.
So then, how awesome was it, when less than a minute after we sat down, they decided to restart the movie? Some of the folks next to us in the theater were saying that it was due to a sound problem during the first 10 minutes (apparently there was none)—I didn’t have the heart to tell them that it was really just because kate and I are such VIPs.
Oh, and the movie really did kick ass.
