so saturday afternoon my family and I decided to go see Finding neverland. we invited keith and alicia to meet us, as well as Tracy and dream boat danny (her new boyfriend that she has been hiding from the family for over a year). i should have known the day was going to be shit when my sister and i got into a fight waiting for the bus. jen and i normally don't fight, and this was about something so stupid.
so the bus came 15 minutes late, so we waited for a half hour and needed to be downtown for a 1:50 movie, and it was 1:30. so i called tracy to let her know we would be running late, so she offered to buy us our tickets which was swell of her. so we get there and she's in line waiting to buy us our tickets and keith and alicia are holding seats for everyone.
danny wasn't the dream boat his nickname promised, but he was nice. a lot nicer than that other guy tracy dated for like 7 years. we only met him once, and i think danny said more in 5 minutes of waiting for the movie than other guy said the entire time we knew him.
so that was good.
and then we sat down for the movie, i got to sit next to keith because i idolize him and we made fun of the trailers together. and he told me that the sound was funny and we should tell someone. i blew it off because he's a movie snob and i thought he was just being picky.
so the movie starts, and of course i love it. i think peter pan is one of my most favorite stories, and i love johnny depp. except for his sometimes irish sometimes scottish accent, i thought he did great.
and then just when the movie was getting good, the sounds goes funny and you see the picture burning on screen.
just great. i was getting into it and now i'll never know if they find neverland or not. i guess that's not true because i got a free pass to come back and see it, but hell if i'm going to that theatre again.
i've been to that theatre twice. not once have i finished a movie.
both movies were english too...funny coincidence. or is it??
never again will i go to the esquire theatre on Oak Street. i either get food poisoning and get sick all over the theatre, or it burns and they can't fix it.
damn you esquire, damn you to hell!!!!
