User blog:Timebomb192potato/Carwardine Forums "C/Movies" discussion: "Children terrified when Montreal movie theater shows La Llorona instead of Detective Pikachu


 * BrisbyBabe21: "I remember back in 1998 my parents took a 10-year old me to see Mulan, but they started playing Deep Impact instead. The staff didn't realize the mistake until a minute in (hell, the audience fully realized the mistake and started laughing their a**es off when they saw DEEP IMPACT flash across the screen) and I was introduced to a lot of science jargon before they shut it off halfway through. I will never forget the image of hoardes of soccer moms demanding refunds."
 * InvisibleDuck: "I'd like to imagine some bored punk kid dragged in by his parents and little sister screaming "HELL YEAH!" as Deep Impact starts playing."
 * BrisbyBabe21: "I guess so. I mean, I vaguely remember my dad going "Whaaa..." as he saw action and science fiction trailers start playing instead of the typical kids movie trailers."
 * RyanNo2: "Back in '03 when I worked for a Calumet branch of a mom-and-pop theater chain native to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, one of my fellow projectionists accidentally threaded up Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World instead of The Cat in the Hat. The film starts with a guy getting amputated in battle. I was there to hear our manager say "Booth projectionist in theater 3, please report to the lobby", and to see the projectionist round the corner to see our manager standing next to a bunch of irate moms and traumatized kids."
