The incredibles

Incredible movie. Cute animation with comic timing, impeccable voice-acting (E's particularly cracked me up), a realistic plot (well, if you discount the whole evil base in a volcano and all that stuff) and cool ideas for effects (insert another spoiler here) combined to give an experience that would have been nothing short of spectacular had we not all been seated in the front row.

This is not a movie review.

This is a rant about strange inefficient systems which have the theatres free for half an hour before the movie, and let the patrons and the market decide who sits where in a free for all. End result: it doesn't matter when you buy the ticket, it matters when you come to the theatre. Which i suppose does away with the problem of ppl coming late and stepping on feet when they enter the cinema late in an attempt to skip the trailers (why would anyone want to skip a STAR WARS EPISODE III TRAILER anyway?) but means your cinema infrastructure isn't efficiently used, coz money's made when you show movies, not when you let people sit around in your nice plush seats and drop popcorn on the floor.

ALSO, it means that people won't rush to buy tickets since it's first come first serve seating for buyers, so you probably won't know if you're going to sell out or not till much later.

Anyway i'm just upset that i had to watch a good movie from the front row and sustain a slight headache from all that amazing zipping around during the STAR WARS EPISODE III TRAILER. And all that jazz. But it was a good movie and i enjoyed it much. =) The company helped too, of course.
