Movie adventure - 2012

The adventure we had before watching 2012 deserves an entry all of its own!

Markdod, Ahbreez, Annie, Brian Munich and myself trundled down to eat Grill'd burgers and watch the disaster porno, 2012 at 8pm. Despite rocking up over an hour early, the session was sold out! I blame this on it tightass Tuesday and spillover from boys who didn't want to watch New Moon. We nonetheless enjoyed our burgers immensely (mmmm Summer Sunset...) and contemplated what to do.

I was going to head on home because at 2.5 hours long, I wasn't really looking forward to catching a later session and then follow it up by catching a bus that comes once an hour and ends at midnight. I was convinced to hang around for an 8:30 session at the cashino by the offer of a lift home from Annie and Brian Munich. So we popped into the car and drove over to the casino...only to find that that session was also sold out!

Markdod noted that there was a session at Greater Union Bourke St. at 9pm, but this was kinda pushing it for Ahbreez and herself since that session would end very close to midnight. Nonetheless, we popped into the car and drove back to the city for that session. Brian Munich noted that that might have been one of the few times five people had driven into the cashino and not spent any money.

The guy at GUBS confirmed that their session was indeed not sold out, and so we settled into the retro discomfort for the next three hours. Our discomfort was aided by the weird theatre configuration, lack of allocated seating, and equally awesome and disturbingly sticky carpet.

Was it worth making the trip to three different cinemas to watch it? Read the review to find out!
