AVP 2

The Engineer and I went to watch Alien Vs Predator 2 (AVP 2) at Milimani City last night.
Century Cinemax boasts the widest screen in East Africa but - regrettably for The Engineer - not the strongest seats.

We were sitting peacefully waiting for the house lights to dim when there was a loud crack. The next thing I knew, The Engineer, still attached to his seat, was now on the floor! The seat had inexplicably come loose from its hinges and crashed to the ground.

It was all I could do not to laugh out loud! Thankfully there weren't many people in the theater at that point and the destruction of Century Cinemax property went largely unnoticed.

The Engineer picked himself up after a few seconds and pronounced that he was very surprised because he'd thought he was losing and not gaining weight!

After finding new seats, the rest of the evening proceeded uneventfully .

I must say that about 10 minutes into the movie, I found myself wishing my seat would break too - just so I would have an excuse to distract myself from, what must be, one of the worst movies in film history. AVP 2 is Utterly Dreadful.

PS: The things we do for love....when I was single, I wouldn't have gone within a 10-kilometer radius of a movie like this!
