So, after seeing this movie myself I dragged my wife off to see it last evening, at the Railway Square Cinema in Waterville, ME. We were enjoying it hugely when the lights flickered and the film sputtered to a stop. But then everything restarted again. Now this began to happen quite regularly, or irregularly, and about the third time we had most of the audience chiming in "Wot happened?" But about the time were Marty returns from his wanders with a rose, the film died for good and a sheepish young man informed us that all of Waterville was blacked out for an indeterminate period of time. After waiting another 10 minutes we left, assuaging ourselves with another splendid dinner at Slates in Hallowell, where they did have power. We found out this morning that it wasn't an alien invasion but that one of their transformer poles became a Roman candle, and they really had to shut everything down. Somehow, it all seems in the spirit!

I thought you'd all like to know.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
