Not Impressed..by going to see "Across The Universe!" =]
Brilliant movie, and incredibly inspiring.
I need to get my scanner working. Because when I do that I can give people the art trades I owe them. And the gifts I've wanted to give to people for a while. Ugh. Derned scanner.
Y'know what else is derned? Movie theaters that say one has to be accompanied by an adult, but don't accept those over 18 (such as myself) to accompany them in. Being over 18 legally counts me as an adult, does it not? I mean, I can now be charged as an adult, I can rent and see rated R (or above) movies. I can even look at pr0nz if I wanted (which I don't, so cheel 8B).
Anyway, a friend and I went to go see "30 Days of Night" today, and they gave me my ticket (though asked me why I wanted one, which is really none of their business, is it?), but my friend didn't have an ID (though she is over 17). Now, I understand that it's policy not to let someone in if they don't have an ID, so I tried to purchase her ticket. But noo, one has to be over 21 to do that. Now please, explain that to me. Is there going to be drinking inside the theater? I don't think so. But anyway, we accepted that and called her mom to come back and buy the ticket. When her mom got there, she tried to purchase the ticket, but wasn't permitted to do so unless she accompanied us into the theater. Now tell me, if someone doesn't want to see a movie, but actually drove all the way back to said theater just to help their daughter get inside, should they really be required to pay for a ticket they're not going to use? Not in my opinion. Buuut she did, just so we could go inside.
She walked us inside and left us with the friend we were meeting (and the guy who tore our tickets said that would be alright).
Ten minutes later (which was about 20 minutes into the movie, since the ordeal outside made us miss about 10 minutes), the same girl from the box office (who could not have been older than 17, herself), approached my friend and said she saw her mom leave, so she had to leave. Oh. my. word.
Sooo since she kicked my dear friend out, I promptly followed, hoping something could be worked out with the manager.
While waiting for the manager, I was discussing the trouble such an ordeal was causing us with the girl who was being such a wiatch (lawl, Covenant). Her suggestion was that my friend's mom should carry her birth certificate around in the car with her, because that's what her mom does. ...yeeah. I commented that such an uncommon thing as that was merely for special cases. But goodness. Seriously. Who does that? it confused the mess out of me, and my other friend who was there was barely suppressing a laugh at the thought.
Aaand wow.. I'm completely ranting. But shockingly enough the stressfulness of the story doesn't stop there. 8D
But as for now, I'm actually rather tired, so I'll shut myself up. Not to mention, I'll probably be repeating this story on m'facebook (-n3rd-) later, so oh well. I'll just finish it then. XD
But seriously. People are stupid.
We never did get to see the movie.
Therefore I'm going to avoid that movie theater as much as possible from now on.
..And I still want to see the darn movie.
ANYWAY.
☼ See "Across the Universe"
☼ Laur needs her scanner
☼ I'll try to upload some new stuff on here as soon as possible
☼ AMC theaters' before-noon workers are terrible and the manager will do nothing to help you if you have an issue with the conduct of things.
