So I’m 30 minutes into a screening of the new Ridley Scott film, “American Gangster“, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe (yes, awesomeness in heaping bucketfuls), and a big ol’ bay area earthquake shakes up the theatre and stops the show!
We’re watching a scene where Denzel is visiting a heroin supplier in Vietnam and all of a sudden things shake and I’m like ‘dang, the wind is strong’. But the shaking gets harder and the big ol’ Mercado theatre is rumbling, ceiling shuddering and ground quivering.
During this I think “oh dang, an earthquake.” but that was quickly replaced with “oh come on already, please fade quickly, I gotta see Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe be awesome!”
But no, the projector stops and I’m thinking “Crap.”
So yeah, they evacuated the theatre and gave us passes. I suppose that’s a good deal: free screening and they give us a free movie pass. Except I DIDN’T SEE “AMERICAN GANGSTER”!
Stupid earthquake, apparently it was a 5.6 on the good ol’ richter. Everyone’s fine, no injuries or fatalities reported, but did I mention my sore displeasure for being denied the viewing experience of “American Gangster”?
I should of gone to church.
I saw it. IT ROCKED. Sucka.
haha. thanks. but yeah i saw it on friday. it was crazy. denzel’s my homie.
