From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

Reminds me of how many times outages to corporate software has been caused by some bullshit with the licensing management.

Screw the movie theatres anyway.. Here in Australia, there are two big ones (Hoyts and Village), and both screw patrons by doing things like charging patrons extra money for booking online.

In fact, they ruined every joke in the simpsons movie for me (except one) by allowing ads to use clips from the movie. By 45mins of ads, every joke was ruined.

I really wish the big theatres here would f off, and get replaced entirely by small ones. I don't pay for 40mins of sh***y coca cola ads.

I no longer go at all. It's not a good experience, and its not even a good place to take a date

In my place they name it convenience fee.

For pete's sake movie goers book online and help your fuxxing operations ourselves, you should be paying us or giving us discount not charging extra.
