i just watched XMEN3: The Last Stand... i already saw it thrice on a pirated VCD.. lots of scences were not shown in the CD including the Coda.. there was an advisory all over the web and the media to watch out for "something" at the end of the credits.. So definitely, i wouldn't want to miss that part.. i had to watch it on the big screen..
So there i was enjoying all the cool animation and effects of the movie... i appreciate it more since the pirated CD i watched is of very low quality.. I watched it like it was the first time i have seen it.. Then at the end, of the movie, ArchAngel swoops by a park and there you can see Magneto playing chess with himself, apparently missing Charles who used to play with him.. Then, re reaches out to a chess piece and slightly moves it.. he still has his powers!! then came the usual List of names and the characters they played scrolling up the creen.. people started to leave.. i thought to myself "Boy, you're really gonna miss somethin'!!" then the whole place lights up! i can hardly read the names.. to my dismay, they even stopped playing... they were now flashing advertisements!! @#%$*!&_?! it seems that i am the only one who is bothered by the chaos that is happening! i was with someone that time... i had to get ourselves something to eat.. when i returned, the movie was starting again..
i gave ABSEC a second chance... maybe if i watch it for the second time, i'll get to see my much awaited scence.. again, i watched the whole thing with gusto! what can i say?! am a BIG fan! then came again the names at the end of the movie.. again, the lights went on again.. then the advertisements! C'mon!!! i was really p!$$&D!!! my date is getting bored, we left.. we went to the mall, i still can't get over the movie..
At the mall, she saw her friends.. I thought she would go with them so I left.. i went to the entertainment section to play some arcade games.. i texted her to inform that i was there.. She got angry at me for leaving her.. i tried to explain but she left.. i have nothing to do.. so, i thought of only one thing... RETALIATION!!
I have some score to settle with ABSEC.. i went back and talked to the attendant.. i had a real difficulty explaining to them what is going on.. they are not getting my point.. to them, "hey, you only missed a 10-second coda, what's the big deal?!" it was as if it wasn't their business.. they should understand, of all people, how important every scene in the movie is! At last, they gave up.. they send they will talk to the "guy behind the projector"... i went inside, and watched the movie for the third time.. again, ArchAngel made a swoop over the park, then Magneto moves the chess piece... then the names.... the lights went on! at that point, i can picture myself squeezing my upper body into the small window where the projector is and pull the guy out into the seats and beat him to death!! the lights may be on, but somethings different.. they're not showing those stupid advertisements.. i crossed my fingers.. at last, after watching the movie six times, i saw the CODA!! what's the coda all about?! wait for my movie review next time... but i totally recommend that you watch the movie... AWESOME!!
oh yeah! before i wrap this up, i would like to grab this opportunity to make a public apology to hannah.. she was my date.. i was rude when i left her at the mall.. sorry po.....
