25 Minutes

What's 25 minutes to you? An episode of 'The Cosby Show' without ads? How long it takes to eat dinner with your family? Maybe how long it takes to read a couple of chapters in Harry Potter? Well, 25 minutes has a new definition for me:

That's how long it took the cinema to start our film yesterday.

We went in to see 'Spidey 3' (yes, I saw it; get off my back!) at 2:40; the film started at 3:05. That would have been dandy if it was 25 minutes of previews. Unfortunately, it was 18 minutes of commercials and then a few previews strung together quickly before seeing one more commercial. Ah, good times. And for some reason, before 'Spidey 3,' 4 of the commercials were for Guinness. I hope the young lads behind us now know what to do when they hit 18 (it's 18 here, y'see).
