We close our office at 4:00pm on Fridays. Today Carol and I slipped a little early to see one of the academy award nominated movies, just noe arriving in our town. The movie is "Rachel Getting Married" starring Anne Hathaway (Nominated for Best Actress in a Lead) as one just getting out of drug rehab in time for her sister, Rachel, to get married. It is drama with dark comedy.
The movie started at 4 and we got there about 4:05. We were first in the Theater and the movie had not started. After waiting a few minutes, I went out and asked them to start the show. They abliged, and while I was out the audience doubled in size. The first commercial started up and the projector shut off. They had left the booth, so I went out and told them to get it going. They played with it and then told us they would start it in 10 minutes. It started. then stopped. Then in a couple of minutes started again. It was now 4:30. We watched the previews and the movie started with the sound low. I, again, went out and said hey. Movie going all is well. The movie is a mix of regular camera and handheld which gives it a home movie feel.
At first it was like watching somone's videos. the movie was slowly setting up and we came to the scene of the rehearsal dinner where every one was giving a toast. It was building up to the speech by Miss Hathaway's character and the movie suddenly went upside down. Not only that, but the sound was garbled. Movie stopped. The attendant shrugged is shoulders. All four of us filed out. We never made the wedding.
We did get an apology from the manager and free passes.
Hope Rachel made it! As for Anne the actress, her role was light years apart from Devil Does Prada.
