life imitates art

So we're sitting in the theater watching Superman Returns, and there's a montage of Lois Lane making phone calls. "The blackout? Can you tell me about the blackout? ... several power grids which... - regarding the blackout - ... to ask about the bla-" and the screen fades out and all the lights in the theater shut off. I really expected some theater employee in a costume to leap into the theater. But no.

Thank goodness she wasn't calling about an earthquake. Or a tidal wave.

Creepy. Did they get the lights back on soon or were you all just left sitting in the dark?

if i'm ever employed at a theater, i'll try to keep a spare costume handy for these sorts of situations.

Whatever you do, don't make it up to yourself by watching the Christopher Reeve version of Superman. Please. :-)

Whatcha doing this Monday or Tuesday?

reminds me of the time while on a hike with girl scouts:

"so, what would you rather see right now, a mountain lion or a rattlesnake?"
"oh, probably a rattlesnake"
*rattle rattle rattle rattle*
