The Biggest Dissapointment Of My Life Thus Far...

[uscmhicks]

NO thankfully the biggest disappointment of my life so far was not the movie itself but the fact that I was promised by my local IMAX a seat tonight and then refused entry when I got there. The ticket booking on the phone said the showing was Wednesday 12.05 am. It is now 12.00 or so , and Tuesday has just gone so it is now Wednesday 12.00. How the hell can the showing be tomorrow Wednesday 12.05 am , thats Thursday !!.
I paid £40.00 worth of taxis to get there and back for nothing , I will be complaining and have already made a video which I will be uploading to youtube before I'm off to bed. I expect my money back for the taxis from them ( which thankfully I have receipts for ) and hopefully something else for all this trouble and time wasting .IMAX MANCHESTER , YOU SUCK... :mad:
After waiting another 10 years for this , I now have to wait another 24 hours , its so ^^^^ing hard !!

Thanks for listening to this rant guys ,

Tay. :rolleyes:

[EVILFACE]

If that is the biggest disappointment of your life, you have been lucky.

[uscmhicks]

I was so pumped all day !!! I'm so pissed at these guys

thanks for the comments and... cheese guys. :rock

[YoNoSe]

Sucks, but don't sweat it too hard. Sit back, have a beverage, look at your awesome collection of Aliens and Predators, and think about how sweet it'll be when the time comes. The actual time, not the time they invented. :confused::D

[uscmhicks]

thanks dude , I'm sure my fellow movie freaks know that awesome feeling of getting to watch a new movie ( especially on an imax screen with those amazing speakers ) and then imagine it being destroyed because some spotty attendant guy says " its tomorrow ".
I know it wasn't his fault at all but damn. Who else is there to blame ? :lol

:google:google:google

my thoughts exactly :lol:lol

[Seretur]

Hicks, while your thread title is so very unfortunately overstated, I do feel for you, man.

But it will be worth the extra wait. Just try to relax once the theatre lights finally go down, and remember your inner love for prairie dogs.

And don't make mountains out of molehills. :)

[IrishJedi]

:google:google:google

Thread rated, Shai? :lol

uscmhicks, I understand your disappointment and frustration, but relax... you will see the movie in due time. It's been 19 years since a new INDY movie, what's an extra day or two?

Speaking of which, you should know better than to post a thread with this subject line on the eve of the release of a movie some of us have waited 2 decades for. :duh :lol

[tomandshell]

I was really worried about the reaction to the film when I saw the thread title. I am relieve that you were responding to NOT seeing the film rather than the other way around, lol.

I now extend my sympathy to you--I can't imagine what a bummer it would have been to show up at the theater all psyched to see the movie and then just have to turn around and go home.

[DarthNeil]

The word of the day would be.... hyperbole.

[uscmhicks]

Sniffles , I can't sleep , I'm gonna break into the cinema tonight ! :rock :lol

Lol lovin the picture man heres some more cheese

Aw, I just love British accents. They seem to make every word sound so much cooler!

I don't mean to sound rude but biggest dissapointment? Dude go live your life and I assure you it gets worse than missing a movie. :lecture

Bill Shatner... Once said...

"GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!"


It's a movie... It won't spoil, or get rotten. This film will give you no more enjoyment today, than it would tomorrow.

AND... It will be here for many years to come, on DVD, Blue-ray, HBO, CBS, ABC, Local TV Stations, On Line...

I could go on and on, until, we see it in your local 99 cent Store.

Don't loose anymore sleep over it. You'll see this extravaganza eventually. And... it will probably suck!

[uscmhicks]

lol , you guys crack me up.
Its a youtube video , and I run a channel , everything had to be dramatic , if its not nobody wants to watch it :lol. Its not the most disappointing thing thus far , not even close. It just pissed me off to the max and I said it was :lol.
I nearly died an extremely painful death last year. Thats pretty disappointing. :lol

[paulcarson]

Best to check the screening times before you set out again ! Enjoy it when you're there, its already cost you a bomb !

[Malice]

don't listen to all these haters mate:emperor:maul:emperor, bunk the system make sure you get your taxi money back........

[uscmhicks]

yeah , I think they will be kind enough to give me my money back though , I got to the cinema often. The should do. They have been kind enough in the past.
I was real ill ages ago and had to leave the cinema in pain watching pirates of the Caribbean , they sent me new tickets in the post for free which was great. :D Hopefully they still will be that kind.

[Mudshark]

You certainly have my sympathy for blowing the cab fare and being turned away at the door... that would light my fuse, too. On the other hand, you probably don't realize how lucky you are, just being able to see it this soon. I've been waiting ages for another Indy movie, and it won't even be in theaters here until late June! :monkey2 :banghead
:taz :taz :taz

[uscmhicks]

I just got refused my cab fare back and the guy on the phone had a real attitude !.
He said " oh , well we don't force you to take a taxi. ! "

Yeah , like I'm gonna walk to a cinema miles away or stand at the bus stop in the pitch black at midnight in the city center!.
I am gonna keep pestering them , I want my cash back and I have every right to it.

[Malice]

here's what you do, walk in there and say-" hey mada bunker ta' hells my cab money?" and bit@# slap the first person to comes up to calm you dowm.

[uscmhicks]

lmao !! I just might you know ! :lol

[IronFingaz]

Isn't the movie premiering the 22nd?

[icruise]

Not to be mean, but if you're such a huge Indy fan you should know that it's premiering on the 22nd. The whole purpose of having a premiere at 12:01 (or 12:05) is that it's the earliest possible moment on the day of the premiere when they can show it. It doesn't make sense that they would have a premiere a day early at 12:05.

And you spent £40.00 on taxis? That's like $80!

They did that here too though - our local theater said they were showing it at 12:01 AM on Wednesday the 21st. That would mean LAST "night" not tonight. But when we went over to buy tix, they said, on no, that's not until Wednesday night. "But it says Wednesday AM on the schedule." - "But that means Wednesday night." :confused:

It's really annoying when people don't understand how time works :lol Most disappointing thing in my life? Not even close... but annoying, yes.

[doesitmatter]

If this is your biggest disappointment, life is going to crush you.

True, but theatres routinely do this. I am pretty sure every damn midnight showing I have gone too has said Thursday or in this case Wednesday at 12:01 or 12:05 or whatever, when in fact it is really Friday, or in this case Thursday.

Anyway I have since phoned and all my food and drink tonight is free. :D
I am so going to take the piss. :D

thats what I thought , so phoned to confirm it.
They said yep its tonight , I shown up and it wasn't !. :google

£40.00 fro my house to the imax is a great price , the black cabs from town charge alot !. :o

Now if you actually called, then the theatre can go ^^^^ themselves. That is bull^^^^. They ^^^^ed up. You actually tried to cover yourself. I would be pissed too.

[uscmhicks]

Yeah , I had my suspicions a premiere wouldn't be two days before the actual movie !.
I am going to eat alot of free food tonight !.

When I read the title, I thought this thread was because I was behind on your Hicks head. :D

Indeed, you have lived a charmed life my friend! Sorry about the lost money. Next go round, call first! :naughty

Next go round, read the posts first.:monkey5 He did call, and they told him wrong.

I did read and re-read the posts before mine and I saw nothing to indicate that they specifically told him to come on the wrong night. As I understood it, he called and the automatic booking info said Wednesday instead of Thursday. Now if he called and they actually said "yep it's tonight" as he said in a later post, then that's a whole different matter.

[lcummins]

Remember people... it's only a movie.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Les, and I was joking with him.:lol:lol:lol

Which right would that be? You can complain about given the false date (and you have my sympathies for that), but not for the money you spent to get to the IMAX. Because, they do not force you to take a taxi. They do not force you to watch a premiere. So again - which right is it you think you have to get your taxi money back?

I agree with this.

[icruise]

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Just trying to make things clear, since there seems to be some confusion about just what he was told.

I am not exactly sure what went down either. I was assuming he talked to an actual person that misinformed him. Either way, this thread is the biggest disappointment of my life.:D

[Blackhole]

Where'd my post go? Oh well, you should get as much food and drink as possible...then live off it for a while...

[King Darkness]

I was pretty disapointed this morning when I thought I was gonna take that really satisfying early morning dump, but only farted :monkey2

[YoNoSe]

I'll take this over another series of "My dolly didn't ship yet and it's not fair!!!:monkey4:monkey2" posts. At least he actually went somewhere and did something.
I can remember being confused about one of these midnight premiers before. The theater did the same thing, listing 12:01 am for the wrong day because it was "that night." I didn't actually go to the theater, but if I had I would probably still be piissed about it.

[DarkArtist81]

When I ordered my midnight showing tickets for tonight I noticed that too... It had me confused for a moment... 12:01am Wed. But a disclaimer was at the bottom reminding me that it was late night Wed/early Thurs.. :lol

Pretty funny. I mean, I knew the midnight showing is only the night before... but it was still weird to see it listed like that.

[jungle jom]

Mind blowing!

[theropod]

The Red Devils won. :chew
That should ease your cab fare sorrows. Out of curiousity, how many other people showed up to the theater a day too early? :duh
