Tnat's a bit disappointing  considering I have a list of  30 people who said
they'd  go  to the  movie. Hopefully  they  went/are  going to  a  different
showing.

Yeah, same here. I guess we'll have to ask JTS at the end of the week.

Yeah, don't rub it in :-)
(I hadn't really planed for what happened today, and I could have done
without it. Oh well...)

I agree. He did a good job considering that he learned about all this while
doing the movie.
