Merlin

Alas, although I was at the Transformers opening, I cannot tell you much about the flick. This is more or less what happened:

1. People sat in line (or in our cases, on benches.)

2. We went into the theatre.

3. The managers announced that for contractual reasons and Warner Bros not thinking things through, Harry Potter in Imax will be released two weeks after the release of the regular Harry Potter, an announcement that was greeted by a chorus of boos and cheers. (That was not an audience of Harry Potter fans.) They also announced that some people had arrived at 6:30 am for the film, which struck us as mildly insane.

4. The movie started. Robots blew things up. I left the theatre and spent some quality time lying on the floor waiting for the planet to stop shifting, which it did not actually do for a solid 48 hours. I will say that the theatre manager was very kind and refunded my ticket without being asked and brought me some water. (Regal Orlando Pointe Cinema, to credit a business for doing the right thing.)

So instead of Transformers snark (since I never want to see this again) you get:

( Merlin snark! )
