GV cheats my feelings!
Ok when it happened I posted it on Facebook, Plurk and Twitter. But here's the full story why and how it cheated my feelings lol.
So what happened was that I was watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which I thought was really good btw, better than the X-Men series. But then again I'm an X-Men fan and just super excited to see the fight scenes and powers unleashed and all, so hmm take that into account) at GV Plaza, and they fricking cut off the movie just as Wolvering was saying his last word (in the scene after the credits)! Okay people I know it's the last word and we really don't need to see anymore, but like c'mon, if you cut if off midway during the last word, what if it's another word and not the word we think it to be? For this movie it's pretty obvious what the word is, but that's not the point! It's a matter of principle! You're providing a service - which is screening a movie to audiences who have paid money to watch the movie in ITS ENTIRETY.
To cut it off abruptly while he was talking just totally irritated the hell out of me. Even though I could guess that it was probably more or less over, it kinda spoiled the ending to a good movie and totally killed the mood and happy feeling it could have left me with. And evidently the rest of the people watching that movie weren't very happy as well - there were at least 20 odd people going 'HEY! What the hell?!!' and glaring at the projection people up there.
What happened eventually was that the GV staff let the disgruntled 20 odd people shuffle into another theatre which was playing the movie to watch the last 10 minutes of it to wait for the ending to see it properly and get closure. Although I do admit this was quite interesting - I got to see how the other audience reacted at certain scenes - exactly the same as us! - it was a potential waste of time (if you're very busy) just because of some stupid projection person who probably thought, oh hell it's almost over let's just cut it anyway. Which is very annoying.
Granted I can believe that it was accidental and a blip in GV's excellent track record or whatever, but still. ANNOYING.
Ok fine maybe I'm just being petty. Hurhur.
