]]>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.

Bar-hopped in Harrisburg Thursday. (But Tim Warfield was nowhere to be found.)
Attended an Arlington apartment party. (Somebody spiked the cider. Yum.)
Visited the new Court of Valor memorial. (I also got a Civil War history lesson at Prospect Hill Cemetery.)
Saw the Eagles loose yet again. (I still miss those Phils.)
Consoled myself with the movie "Clue." (Nothing like a little murder/mystery to brighten the mood.)

Are you ready for some football and local tunes? Take some time away from local team rivalries to watch York group Mark DeRose Band perform during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game Nov. 29. Kick-off is around 8:20 p.m. on NBC.
The band will play a medley of songs by Chicago with the Baltimore Marching Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Baltimore Marching Ravens, formerly The Baltimore Colts Marching Band, were recently featured in the ESPN Film "The Band That Wouldn't Die." Mark DeRose Band drummer, Dan Brenner, recorded the vocal group singing the Colts Fight Song for the movie.

Case in point: Her new single "Bad Romance." (We think of it as the anti-silly love song.) The video exploded onto the Web Monday. It's mesmerizing to say the least. We can't wait to hear the rest of Gaga's EP "The Fame Monster," which drops Nov. 23. So what if she'll appear on the scandalous soap "Gossip Girl" Nov. 16? Swift belongs on the Disney Channel.
