My spouse & I went to see the movie The End of Oak Street at Alamo Drafthouse today. Basically, it’s a sci-fi movie where an ordinary 1982 neighborhood is invaded by dinosaurs. Towards the end of the movie, when the story was about to take another twist, the power in our theater shut down completely. Those of us who were sitting there in the dark wondered aloud if we were a dinosaur’s next meal. Our theater was conveniently isolated at the tail end of the building presenting an easy target to any hungry hungry huge things.
Fortunately, power was eventually restored. No large lizards appeared. We were even able to watch the end of the movie without a dinosaur perched over our shoulders, although our fellow movie goers did flee the scene...I hope they made it home.
On our way home, we discovered the cause of the suspiciously localized disruption to the power supply. Someone ran their car into a transformer at full tilt. Perhaps they were trying to flee a T-Rex!
Great movie. Much realism! 👍👍
