Near Death Of A Death Note Fan

I was so disappointed. I tried to go see the third Death Note movie L-Change The World. I took my last $11 and set off with 15 minutes to showtime. Luckily, I am only 10 minutes from the theatre. I had my Mom's car, and she has a handicapped parking sticker, which I shamelessly used and found a parking spot right in front of the doors. It was the last one too. I get up to the ticket counter and there is no line. It's 7:25pm on a wednesday night. But, the sun was still bright so it really seemed like early afternoon. I ask for one Death Note ticket, and the ticket guy goes $12.50. I pause. Now normally tickets are $8. I know I got $11.65. I now have to search my pockets and purse, and look for another $1. I know I don't have it, but I got to go through the motions. I then ask why so much and the guy goes because it's a special 1 day showing that's why it's so exspensive. He then says it's playing tomorrow at the same time. (It figures that I would get a nerdy ticket guy who knows about Death Note. i could tell by the smirk in his eyes. It would have been less embarassing if he didn't know the significance of this showing.) I do the let me go look in my car for change routine. I already know that the change holder(the ashtray) is empty. Normally it's full of change. Why is fate conspiring against me! I then call my bank to see if i have any money on my debit card. I don't. But, I forgot there is a charge for telephone banking,I made 2 calls because the first time I got disconnected. I'm now overdrawn, and have to pay a $26 overdraft fee, the haters. I get home and the family is like what happened, I explain and my sister is like grab a couple dollars from bank of mom, and go back, with the previews I should still make the show. I sadly explain that it's 3 hours, and that their are special behind the scenes interviews with the director and star actor. As well as the star english voice-over actor. No previews. They are like go tomorrow. I wanted to watch it in the original japanese with english subtitles!!!! I hate dubbed movies. The dub is always off. I had already watched the bootleg on the internet, but I wanted to show my support because it's rare for asian films to be shown stateside. Plus, if there was a good turn-out, maybe hollywood would import more foreign films. Also there is suppossed to be an american remake of Death Note, and fans world-wide have been petitioning for japanese actor Matsuyama Kenichi to be cast as L. He pwned that role for real. I can't see anybody else being L. So now it's thursday and i'm trying it again. I'm mad because my Mom went to get her hair done and it was after 7pm when she got home. Must buy a car, need job to buy car. Of course it's the end of the month and the po-po are out in force. I can't speed. And for some reason there is a long line of traffic. I don't know why all those people were going to fayetteville at that time. normally it's a relatively empty street.I get to the ticket counter and the girl acts like she doesn't know death note is playing. i'm highly annoyed, i get the ticket and run down the hall looking for the theatre. i go in the wrong door. i picked the side that leads upstairs. if i had know i have to do all that running and stairclimbing i would have worn sneakers. I take the first empty seat on the aisle. you know all the good middle seats are gone. everybody is spread out, and just because it's not a packed house they act like they're at home. people kicked off their shoes, put their feet up, they have a seat between each person. You know I'm just mad because i'm stuck on the end and there are people in front of me, so i can't put my feet up. The last movie i saw in the theatre was the transformers. i took the nephews. Tinseltown must have upgraded since then. The seats were leather and reclined. It was nice. i was afraid I would be the only black person there. i wasn't I was one of four. black people represent! woop! woop! So the lights go down the movie starts and there is NO SOUND. we're all WTF! They stop and try it again. Do you know the movie is a dvd, and the menu screen pops up. we were all mad. we could have watched the dvd at home. it took them a half and hour to fix. first they get the sound going then there is no picture. murphy's law was in full effect. everyone was yelling at the projector guy. tinseltown has gotten smart, there is a wall between the seats and the projector window. if we could have reached him, it would have gotten ugly. for $12.50 I expected more than this. Of course you know I had to go to the bathroom. I had cooked barbecue ribs,grilled chicken breasts, brocoli, and rice and deviled eggs for dinner. The deviled eggs did me in. i'm allergic, but i loved them anyway. it was good. but i got the bubble guts. so i'm trying to hold it, because at the beginning it was announced that a keyword would be displayed, and if you went online and entered the code you would win Kenichi Matsuyama's autograph. I know that with my luck, the word would be shown while i'm in the john. now i don't know about you, but after paying $12.50 for an $8 movie, i'm going to stay until the lights go out for real. People were leaving once the credits rolled. At the beginning it was announced to remain in your seats until the credits finished for bonus material, and sure enough there was an extra scene. just like the x-man movies, that extra scene gives you a hint about the next movie. they must not have been true die-hard death note fans if they didn't know about it. The special feature starts, and i'm praying i don't have an accident because i haven't seen the behind the scene features, and can't possibly leave for a bathroom break. It was very fascinating listening to the actor and director's insight on the development of the movie and it's characters. and the boy who played near, this was his first movie. he did really well to be a newbie. at the end they showed the website for the contest. I run out of there, trying to get home to use the bathroom. i didn't want to go in the movies, because i knew i would have to sit a spell. it was 10:30 when i got out of there. i'm glad i'm only around the corner from the theatre. in all the rush to get home and use the bathroom, i forgot the website to enter the contest. my mind drew a complete blank. i got the answer, but can't remeber the entry site. that's the story of my life. i'll have cereal and no milk, kool-aid and no sugar peanut butter and no jelly. typical it's just typical.
