How disappointing. Not as disappointing as it must have been for the lady audience member carrying a large box of popcorn and a bottle of apple Tango who muttered as we were leaving, "I booked a day off for this".
There's a strange emptiness which comes from being excited to do a thing, planning your day around it and then the thing not happening.
I came home and watched the British psychothriller The Ones Below, which is fine even if the ending needed someone with a keen eye to point out that the surprising twist really isn't and edit accordingly.
It's not Picturehouse at FACT's fault and they're now struggling with a screen down and having to reschedule all kinds of screenings in order to acomodate the Deadpool 2 crowd:
We've had to make alternative plans for today's film programme due to a projector fault. The following performances have had to be cancelled. 315pm Avengers, 415pm Filmworker, 630pm New Town Utopia and 840pm Avengers. We are so sorry for inconvenience caused.— Picturehouse at FACT (@FACT_Cinema) May 21, 2018
Lots of people will be entering the cinema today who may not know about the fault expecting to see one of these films. Hopefully they'll be understanding and treat the staff well.
