On Saturday, due to a failure of the lamp to light (I talked to one of the guys at tea last night and he told me they charge a capacitor for 30 minutes before the show starts, and then use that charge to ignite the lamp) the movie was canceled. We had just sat down to watch it, and we had to come home.
So we went to reshowing, this time , it was re-shown a day earlier on Tuesday, normally its on Wednesday, but this week, Wednesday will be Australia day.
So Nathan, Zach and myself trooped up to the open air cinema, this time with wet weather gear, pillows, and jumpers.
We didn't need any of those things, it was a perfect night under the stars watching a reasonably good movie (The Town). Of course every-time a car drove by its lights interfered with what was showing on the screen, but the sound was good, the screen was ok (The joins in the plywood, did interfere in some scenes), and the crowd was fantastic, that is until the people behind us (and you know who you are) accidentally dropped once of their scotch a colas on the floor with a loud crash, as the glass broke !
Christmas Island Cinema, I give it Two Thumbs Up.
