Gothamist shares the story of the NYC screening of Martin Scorsese’s Hugo that was plagued with problems, including two film-stopping projection malfunctions before the audience was made to watch the film’s climactic 30 minutes overlaid with preshow advertisements. Enjoy the hilarity below.
The Gothamist report focuses on the crowd’s anger, but in the video it sounds like they’re having a great time enjoying the stupidity. (All attendees were given refunds and free passes to another screening.)
I WENT TO GO SEE APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX OPENING DAY, FIRST SHOWING WHILE I WAS LIVING IN BOSTON. THE VERTICAL GOT OFF 10 MINUTES INTO THE FILM AND THE AUDIO WAS BROKEN. IT WAS JUST ANNOYING AND RUINED THE MOVIE GOING EXPERIENCE. THAT LOOKS HILARIOUS.
First world problems…
