We Got Movie Sign!

So, I was going to regale all of you with my wonderful two-minute review of the latest Harry Potter movie. However, due to a metric fuck-ton of bullshit that happened (all the fault of Time-Warner, too), I missed a large chunk near the beginning of the movie, and spent most of the rest of the time trying to figure out what the hell was going on

Well, in terms of hoops, nothing will beat when Transformers came with a combination lock on one of the cases, and we couldn't build the movie until the morning it opened, so we didn't even have time to screen it.

With Harry Potter, though, mostly they just sent me two copies of Reel 3, and labeled one of them Reel 2. The jump from Reel 1 to 3 wasn't as bad as some of the jump cuts I've seen in HP movies, so I didn't think about it. But then, 20 minutes later, when I started watching the same scenes I had already seen, I was a little annoyed. Luckily we had a second print, so I compared notes with the guy who watched that one, and we were able to figure it out.

This means that if TW (or ETS-Kally, I suppose) can't send us a replacement reel 2 before about 6PM, lots of people with pre-ordered tickets are going to be very angry that they can't watch Harry Potter on opening day.

The rest of the metric fuck-ton came from my own management who decided to have HP play on theater 6 at 7PM, but listed it as playing on theater 3 on all the schedules, and those of us who were there last night didn't know this, so we had no idea what the hell was going on when two movies were scheduled to play at the same time on 3 today.
