Little Miss Sunshine

Rating - To Be Determined.

Saw this in Toronto at Bayview Village.......

Once again, I am going to bitch about the state of movie theatres today.
Not only have they overinflated the admission and concession prices,
they have cut out crucial positions such as full time projectionists.
75% of the way through this REALLY GOOD movie, the picture became
blurry...then REALLY blurry, and then disappeared altogether. We were
staring at a blank screen.

NO ONE CAME TO FIX IT.

My friend Andrea and another patron went to look for an employee to fix it... yet there was no one to be found. 20 minutes later, we were all out of the theatre, in the lobby, eating ice cream since the cooler was open, waiting for someone to surface. Eventually, three employees (two girls and one guy manager) came out of the staff room door laughing. They were shocked to see us all standing there pissed off. They refused to answer my question of "where were you guys for so long?" and instead offered us free passes. My guess is that they were:

a. smoking up
b. having sex

Either way, I missed the ending, was given two passes for Alliance Atlantis theatres which are only in Toronto and Victoria, and left pissed off.

I would love to see how this ends since it was a hilarious movie, with wonderful actors, and a spectacular dialogue.

Shame.
