i went to the Lincoln Square opening of Superman Returns IMAX 3D on Tuesday night, and it was indeed a madhouse. there was some kind of computer malfunction, so they had to check everyone's credit cards one at a time for their ticket purchases and this pushed the movie back to around 10:45 or 11. talk about the worst timing for a computer malfunction.

and i'm guessing the press and some VIP's were getting to see the movie first, since while standing on line to get in, i saw people leaving the theater with little tin Superman novelty lunchboxes and wearing those press pass badge things with Superman Returns on them. at least i got a Superman Returns T-shirt, but i'm still wondering who the hell do i have to know to get to see the movie like them instead of putting up with computer malfunctions and standing on a massive line for an hour.

and don't pay much mind to Roger Ebert's review, i believe he gave a thumbs down to the first Spider-Man, did he not? that's why you don't base your opinion of a movie on a single critic. hell, that's why Rotten Tomatoes exists, so you can get a consensus of what all the critics are saying and make a judgment call from a whole pool of reviews.

Yeah, he gave Spider-Man 2 stars. Then, he turned around and said Spider-Man 2 was the "greatest comic book movie he had ever seen" Go see Superman Returns!!!

Critics don't have the power they once had. Ebert gave Garfield 3 stars and it isn't doing good at the box office at all.

Yeah, but the power went out in the theater I saw Aquaman in, so I got my money back. Still haven't seen the rest of the flick. On the way out, there were people going nuts screaming "Vincent! Vincent!" but I think the heat was just getting to thier heads.

Uh oh, Bible thumpers and Aquaman fans are on the loose. I'm going to go hide in a shelter (right after I see Supes).

is it possible for RT to ban people like ron777524? if i wanted to be preached to, i'd go to church or answer the door when the Jehovah's Witnesses ring my bell on Saturday mornings. religious or not, what he is doing is clearly spamming, since this is not the only thread he's copied-and-pasted that to.
