Sucks in the City

How can I possibly express my disappointment? HOW!?!? There we sat - friends from waaaay waaaay back, crying and laughing. We had been planning this "movie event" for a month. My husband was watching our kids. My friends had made arrangements for their children and husbands. WE WERE READY FOR SEX IN THE CITY! Wooooo hooooooo!

Sex And The City is more a bonding experience between friends than it is a movie going experience. Most women would agree with this statement. So there we sat, having the ultimate bonding & movie experience that can be shared between close female friends. Bellinis were most definitely to follow. I mean, come on! How could we not go for a drink that ends with "ini" after watching Sex In The City?

With only ten minutes left in the movie, we were still laughing and drying our eyes. The questions were plenty....mainly....WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THEM?!?! The anticipation was more than I could bare. It was electric. Mara, Vicky, Vivian & I looked at each other expectantly - "does it end well????" - and then IT happened:

"Ladies & gentlemen, due to turbulent weather (yep, the boner used the word "turbulent" as though he were an airline pilot!), we are experiencing a power outage. Please remain in your seats until we are able to resume your film."

Ummmmmm okay. No problem. Thank GOD they'll resume our movie. I mean, it would be BRUTAL if they sent us home with a big, fat question mark, right? But holy-moly, this movie is just aaaaawesome! Oooooh I'm soooo glad I'm here with my great friends. This rocks! Wait wait wait....theatre-man is about to make another announcement:

"Ladies & gentlemen, this is the fire safety director (hey, why didn't he say that the first time when he sounded like a pilot?!). You are all asked to evacuate the building. We we are experiencing fire & safety issues (oh, so he suddenly became the director of these issues. I see!). Please exit your theatre & proceed to the exit door."

HUH?! WHAT?! So....that's it??? WHAT HAPPENS!?!? Bloody Queensway cinema! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
