the movies

so last night Dan, Walter & I went down to the famous Sony Centre at Potsdamer Platz. We saw District 9. I've already seen this, but cause i rate the movie, i was happy to see it again.

The reason we went to the Sony Centre as opposed to something a little closer, is that the Sony Centre plays movies in their original form - which means they're not dubbed, as most english movies are here.

Two strange observations:

1) After about 15 minutes of ads, the lights come back on, and people walk around with trays with snacks & stuff, going "ice-creams, ja?", for morons who are too deconstructed to purchase their stuff prior to the movie, and enjoy wasting everyone elses time

2) When the movie has finished, the lights stay off (presumably until all the credits are done rolling), so you have to navigate yourself out of the cinema in the dark (unless of course you enjoy reading credits).
