Movie not meant to see

M. and I have been trying to see No Country for Old Men and Juno for months now. We also got these Regal Cinemas tickets as a part of our American Express rewards, so we thought, why not use it. But the closest Regal theatre is in Union Square, and it's not that we don't go to the Square often(we do), but the timing somehow, for the movie, was never good. Either we are late for one of those movies, or too early, or tired, or hungry...And when we finally today redeemed those tickets for Juno at 4:20p.m., the electricity went down! I am not kidding. We are sitting there, in a half-full theatre, excited while waiting for what everyone says it's a great movie, with our medium gigantic popcorn bag and a home-style lemonade with more ice than lemon, when the previews died, there, in front of us. Then they rose from ashes. And died again. For good. Someone came to tell us that the power is down and that we can use our ticket stabs any time. They even reimbursed our $6 bag of popcorn. Well, it was almost full anyway. And it's not like we are going to eat it walking out of the movie theatre.
