GOSH HECKING DARN IT!

[shortylickens]

My being absent-minded is no longer charming.

Forgot I had a ticket to Pirates of the Caribbean 5, LAST NIGHT.
Not only am I out 15 bucks for the 3D showing, but its very unlikely I can get a ticket for tonight.

Fuck

Called the theater. Because the tickets are digitally controlled nowadays they were able to see I never picked it up or used it.
They're going to let me see the noon matinee which is wide open.

The phrase you're looking for is "Cock fucking arse it!".

Enjoy yourself.

I cannot sit through any of that series though. Which is odd since I loved the ride as a kid, and was glued to the TV for old pirate movies. Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Burt Lancaster, etc. My wife bought them all on Blu-ray and digs them, but I bail out if she wants to watch one.

:thumbsup: My dumb ass would've just thought "ugh I'm fuct" and forgot about it. Good that you called and were able to get use out of it.

I've got a terrible memory myself and forget things easily if I don't write them down. I always have to have a grocery/store shopping list cause if I think I can remember an item or two rather than write it down, odds are I'll forget the damn thing(s). Work too would be impossible for me without my ever-present legal pad for taking notes and whatnot. Anything memory-related I'm total shit at, like remembering someone's name. Jesus if I don't constantly repeat it to myself when first meeting someone I'll forget it in a minute or less cause I'm too busy trying to talk/listen to them. FML

Ticket service should have an Email reminder.

Ticket service should have an Email reminder.

And then the Google app puts it into your calendar and feed automatically. If you have it turned on, your phone will then notify you when it is time to leave. Makes it (a) easier when you are absent-minded because your phone reminds you but also (b) trains you to be absent-minded because you don't have to remember things anymore.

Thank God I've got an app to remind me to eat and breathe.

Wow, people still go to theaters?

I wonder how much Black Sails influence in the new POTC

Same here. Between the bad CGI and Johnny Depp prancing around like he's at the Folies Bergère, I'd rather have a root canal than sit through another one.

You are one of those downvoters, aren't you? The movie studios have been complaining for years that piracy has all but caused movie theaters to die out. Go downvote them. Personally I have not been to a pubic theater in ~13 years, but this is because I have one in my basement (not that I pirate movies).

No.
All those articles about Opening Weekends? Those are all bullshit.

That was cool of them.

I definitely go less than I used to, but even with large screens, nice sound systems, etc, I'm not going to get a screen as large as in a theater. If I pirate opening day movies, it is a crappy cam, etc etc, so I do go to the theater on occasion. Maybe it is where I live, but other than the price, our theaters are great and usually don't have annoying customers.

Sometimes...*gasp* I even go to the Drive In. Our town has one of the few left.

You actually PAID to see that movie?

Well if I didnt I would not have known how bad it was.
