As you could imagine, the weather was so terrible that making the trip to see 300 would most likely have been the last decision I made. So on Sunday, I took a trip to the IMAX in the Palisades Shopping Center to see if I could get a refund or whatever. After a brief explanation of my situation, I was awarded four complimentary passes. I thought it was odd that I didn’t need to present my credit card for proof. Well, it turns out, I know why.

I was reading the disclaimers on the back of the ticket (as I often do) and it said something about not being valid for DMR films. In parenthesis, it said something about films over an hour. At first I thought that there was no way I just got the cold, hard shaft. DMR must be a special kind of >1 hour film - not the Hollywood kind, I thought.

From the all-knowing Wikipedia:

Digital Re-Mastering, an IMAX Corporation proprietary technology used to convert 35mm motion picture contents to fit IMAX screens.

In essence, I got pwned. My “Complimentary Passes” are complimentary kicks in the scrotum. Thanks, IMAX.

I thought Spring had sprung, but apparently I was sorely mistaken. It’s snowing out with no hope of letting up. In fact, it’s supposed to get much worse, and what’s even worse is I have four tickets reserved for the IMAX showing of 300 in the Palisades Center Mall. Ed’s coming in with Peter, and somehow Gerbehy decided to drive up from Califon by himself. Not the best decision, if you ask me. Anyways, it’ll be fun to have the guys over and play some games and watch a movie or two. Guess I should get back to work. Later!

Welcome to my new blog. The old one got spammed, and I locked it away forever. You can view it here. It would take just too darn long to transfer all the old entires to my new blog. See you later!
