Apr. 17th, 2009 04:32 pmSince no one would go with me *glares*, I just went to a matinee of Fast & Furious at the mall. Going to matinees at this mall is generally a bad idea. This did not disappoint.
I showed up early to what Yahoo movies told me was a 1:30 screening. Oh, they were totally wrong. It was a 1 o'clock screening. I figure I'll just've missed the previews and rush into the theater. Where it is pitch black. I mean completely pitch black. House lights were down, no ads up on the screen, though I could hear the clicking of a slide projector. I couldn't even tell if anyone else was in there and had to find a seat by feel. Once my eyes adjusted, I could see that there were a couple of teenagers in there, probably playing hookie. Time passes. Everyone sits in the dark. I'm just about to get up and yell at someone to start the damn movie when the previews start--for ten seconds. Then the rotating ads come on. Then the house lights come up. Then we wait another five minutes. Then the previews start again, but the house lights stay on. So turns out 1:30 actually was the start time of the movie, all told.
My one-sentence review of Fast and Furious: Entertainingly forgettable action flick. But it makes me want to watch the original again.
There must be fic already. Can anyone point me at some?
