I went to the city to see Mamma Mia last night, which was really fun. We had a quick bite and caught up first. The theatre was fairly empty and as the previews are running, this group comes in talking at the top of their lungs as though they are the only ones in the theatre. I absolutely HATE it when people pretend the movie theatre is their living room. They finally sit down and shut up. A small victory.
So the movie starts and there is absolutely no sound. All of us are a bit perplexed but it's so quiet in the theatre you could hear a pin drop. And after 90 seconds, it hits us. The sound was not working. We were watching a silent musical. It then turned into a classic observation of human behavior. People started yelling at the screening room. Still no sound. Two people got up and left. One guy walked over to the sound booth and started hitting the wall and the glass. It turned out to be quite amusing especially since this was not a deep film.
The sound finally came on and the screen burst out in song. But they didn't rewind and then the same people did the same exact thing. J, Kathy and I were just sitting there laughing and getting into the movie. It looked like they had so much fun making it and the choreography was amazing.
When we were leaving the theatre, they gave us a free ticket. I think I got the opening!
On the drive home, I started having a sharp pain in the back of my head, which really scared me. I am going to take it easy today and reduce all stress. I wish I wasn't so incredibly terrified of needles as I would try acupuncture since I think it would help. But fear is strong. Ok, off to get my hair cut and a fun day.
Have I mentioned how fucking freezing it was in San Francisco?
