A sign? or simply a shitty theatre?

The hour and thirty-five minutes of Iron Man I managed to see was incredibly awesome. I was initially hesitant to check it out because a lot of the people who gave it thumbs up were the same people who seemed to like Transformers, and my hatred of Transformers has no bounds. But Iron Man? SO much better. Robert Downey Jr? Going on the list (he'll probably bump off Gerald Tarrant). We didn't get to see the whole film because the theatre's projector shut off *three times*. The first time we got about a hour and twenty-five minutes it - reaching the climax of the film - when the audio shut off and the houselights came up. We hopped over to a new showing that hadn't started yet, got an hour and thirty minutes in, and *everything* shut off. We waited for ten minutes and the film started again, but five minutes in it shut off. Again. By this time it was quarter to one in the morning (we'd initially gotten to the theatre at nine for the 9:30 showing), so we threw in the towel. Since I'm working this weekend I won't be able to see it until Monday, and that's annoying as all hell. Anticipation and all that rot.

oh no! that seriously sucks! I have to see if this is playing by my house. I might have to check it out this week. Sadly, I haven't been in a movie theatre since transformers!

Oh man. :) Well, I think this one is worth seeing in a theatre.
