The Ordeal

2nd movie yesterday was 'Pride and Glory' but before I get to that I need to talk about the ordeal it was getting there. After 'Martyrs' I put my ticket for the next film in my pocket and we headed to the location of the next film. 10 minutes into the walk I decide to check for my ticket and notice it's gone. I looked everywhere to no avail. So we retraced our steps, looking everywhere in the hopes it will still be on the ground. As we're walking I see up ahead a ticket on the ground! Wow, what are the odds? I pick it up, it's a TIFF ticket and...Its for a different film! WTF! What are the odds of that? Very small I would imagine. So we keep walking and looking until we reach the movie theatre we'd left. I go in and check the lost and found, no luck. I ask to be escorted to the room we were in and again, no luck. Then I go to the box office and see if there's anything they can do and there isn't. I'm ready to leave when a woman asks me if I want to buy a ticket from her as she isn't going. I don't really want to pay for a ticket so I hesitate and she says 'just 10.00'. I check my wallet and all I have is 8.00, she agres to it so I buy it. Now after all that we have very little time to get to our next film so we grab a cab and get there just as the line is entering. We manage, somehow, to get decent seats. By this point I'm exhausted and soaked and finally I can relax. Phew, the end.

Next, what I thought of the film.
