it's a conspiracy

The trailer reel was misframed, off at the bottom. Then the projectionist reframed it; now it was off at the top. Then suddenly the projector ground to a halt. (Guy in Armageddon trailer: "You never know...." [WRRWRRwrrrwr r rr w r clunk] No, you never do, do you?)

Started up [rrrrWWWWWRRRR] and immediately died again [WRRRRrrrrrr]. Repeat several times. Audience laughing. Inevitable cries: "It's a conspiracy!"

We aren't the only people to come up with this - the payoff to a week of X-Files strips in Fox Trot is that they screen the wrong movie and überfan Jason has to see Encino Man 2 instead. Same anguished cry.

The movie was very good, by the by, but don't go see it if you're not familiar with the show. I feel they didn't do well in that regard, and that you won't understand the thing unless you've been making at least some sort of attempt to keep up.
