"Hello Moira"
What is it with some people have to jump up from their cinema seats and leave the theatre the second the last scene fades into the closing credits?
When you have paid over a tenner to see a movie, missing the last few minutes can be very frustrating. I suppose that in the age of Google and IMDB it is no longer necessary to read the credits to find out who sang the catchy song that you hear for three seconds when the main character scans the radio dial before the big car chase, or who plays Pizza Delivery #4.
So last week Dr B. and I went to see X-Men: The Last Stand, and as soon as the first line of credits peeked onto the screen he, as usual, stood up impatiently. The people blocking the exit on my left were lingering in their seats, but when they saw his frown they apologised and bolted up and off they went.
So we left - and missed the post-credit scene at the end that I have just read about on overyourhead.
If you have missed it too you can find out more information - and the scene itself - on the websites linked below. (Warning: spoilers.)
