NO MOVIE FOR YOU--at least, not tonight
Nov. 30th, 2004 06:56 pmOkay, so Volt told all of us folks contracting for 'em, "Free movie for you on the 30th! Go to the Crossroads theater! Bring a guest! The movie and snacks are on us!" The movie in question was to be National Treasure, and neither
solarbird nor I were particularly interested in paying to see that flick. But free? With free snackies? Not a problem!
The info we were mailed out said the movie was to start at 5:30pm. We got there around 5:20--only to discover that the theater was already full, because apparently there was a much bigger turnout than Volt had expected, and there was a sizeable crowd of people still hanging around outside looking vaguely disgruntled. But only vaguely, because the Volt reps did cut a fast deal with the management to get us all vouchers to see a free movie at any Regal cinema. So even though Dara and I didn't get to see the movie we were aiming for tonight, we still get to see a movie on Volt's nickel.
So not a total loss. Will just have to figure out what movie to see, and when, and where.
