Camp Hill killed "New Moon"

| | Comments (1)

After waiting in line for an hour and spending another hour waiting in the theater, "New Moon" was welcomed to the silver screen of Cinema Center on Simpson Ferry Road in Camp Hill with applause.

The theater was playing the movie on six screens, all at midnight.

Hundreds of teenagers, grown women and a surprising number of teen boys watched as the words "NEW MOON" crawled across the screen.

We watched the opening dream-sequence, which ended with Bella waking up in bed.

And then, just as Charlie came in with a birthday present, the film skipped, and we watched the film melt.

A shocked and confused silence filled the theater. The lights came on and a few people ran into the hallway to see what happened.

We found out that the film that had been rolling in four of the six theaters had indeed melted. People were trying to fix it. They didn't know how long it would take.

We gave them about 20 minutes to fix it. Then we got a refund and drove home at 1 a.m.

According to the Patriot-News, many of the fans waited for more than an hour and eventually got to see the movie.

  • Happy "New Moon" day. (We might hide out in a bunker until next week.)

  • Colum McCann's "Let the Great World Spin," won the National Book Awards fiction prize. (Check out more Book Buzz.)

  • 'New Moon' = Sold out?

    | | Comments (0)

    Ya snooze, ya lose. Perez Hilton reported that all 2,150 midnight Friday "New Moon" screenings have sold out. Take a deep breath. It looks like a few movie theaters (Regal 13 at the West Manchester Mall included) added more showings. But tickets probably won't last long. Fans can also catch "Twilight" at 9 p.m. Thursday at Regal 13. Look for FlipSide before the show. We'll be chatting with fans and tweeting. What are your premiere plans? (Photo: AP; Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson pose the UK 'New Moon' release Nov. 11.)

    Five links to start your day off right: Part of a complete, balanced breakfast.

  • Trim your Thanksgiving table with more than turkey. (Savory sides.)

  • We're confused. (Will the real Sexiest Man Alive please stand up?)

  • That's the word of the year? (Can we unfriend New Oxford American Dictionary?)

  • We're glad ABC chose Diane Sawyer over George Stephanopoulos. (Anchor approval.)

  • Miley Cyrus is only teen who hates vampires and technology. (Anti-Twitter and Anti-"Twilight".)
  • Desperate housewives: 'Mad Men' edition

    | | Comments (0)

    We figured that most people didn't watch "Saturday Night Live" last weekend since the Black Eyed Peas performed. (Ugh.) Unfortunately, that means you missed celebrity guest January Jones, aka Betty Draper from "Mad Men." In the segment below, she re-assumes her '60s housewife role for a spot-on parody about how gender and racial stereotyping were part of throwing "the perfect party." (We love the to-do list and punch recipe.)
