Last weekend, Jamaal and I had the most interesting experience at the movies. For the longest time I had been wanting to see Bend it Like Beckham but I never got around to going to see it. Eventually it was out of theaters. But then Pirates of the Carribbean came out, and the girl starring in it--Keira Knightley--was also in Bend it Like Beckham. So they rereleased the movie, I think to make more money, cuz it got good reviews and all that.
So, we're having a good time watching the movie. It's funny, and the story is just starting to go somewhere, when at a serious plot development point, the movie shuts off. So. . .long story short, after about 40 min of the incompetent teens working at the movie theater messing around w/ the projector, they can't get the movie to come back on. However, the manager gave us all a rain check to see another movie free w/in the next 30 days. But we also got to see whatever movie was playing at the time for free. We ended up seeing Tomb Raider 2. It was ok. . .much better than the first one at least. I think there were way too many close-ups on Angelina Jolie's lips.
So, we got two free movies out of the deal, but I still don't know what happened at the end of Bend it Like Beckham.
