my biochem lab partner invited me and another friend to go with her. she had already bought her tickets at a movie theater in everett. not alderwood (the new one), the other one. plain old everett mall.
my roommate's response when i told her which theater:
that place is gheetttoooo.at first, i thought, it can't be that bad. now i understand completely why she said that.
so we get our seats. start watching the movie, and about an hour in the movie shuts off and the lights go on. right when harry potter is in the house with that lady who turns into a snake. it took them twenty minutes to turn it back on, so they gave us free movie passes.
they finally get it fixed. the movie comes back on split down the middle horizontally, with what should be the lower half of the screen in the upper half, and vice versa. it took them five minutes to fix that.
we get through another hour of the movie, and it happens again, right when hermione, harry and ron are at x lovegood's house. it only took them five minutes to fix it this time, so no one made a huge fuss (although some people did leave).
the movie starts again, and i'm thinking, we're all in the clear. until....
it happens again. right when dobby appears in the basement when ron, harry, and hermione get captured by the death eaters. i laughed a little when the whole movie theater yelled NO at the same time.
they got it fixed and we finished the movie. when we walked out we were greeted with a angry mob of harry potter lovers trying to milk the mishap for all it's worth. meaning the manager was handing out free movie passes like candy on halloween.
it might have been the most anti-climactic harry potter midnight showing i've ever been to. but it certainly was the most memorable.
and roomie, you were right. that place was ghetto.
