From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

"Sony is having trouble with their projectors"

Why not call it out for the bullshit that it is? "Sorry, but greedy bullshit capitalism has failed you as a customer. The lockouts they've put on their media to punish the honest users is doing its job once again to punish you. We sure hope this doesn't lead you to find alternative ways to enjoy media without all of the DRM lockouts and garbage to punish you."

Because if they wrote that down then they would never be able to put on another Sony movie ever again. They would be out of business in short order.

I'm looking forward to another Spiderman origin story. I wonder how he got his powers

If ever they enact Universal Healthcare in America. What will become of Spiderman?

His origin story only makes sense because Peter can't afford to go to hospital.

Assuming a hospital would have been able to do anything to stop his mutation.

And which of his parents siblings died to teach him morality

I hear they retconned it so that his powers came from shrewd exploitation of intellectual rights.

He was bitten by a spider I believe, a spider which was gooey in some way.
