My Spidey Sense is Tingling- must be cause nothing else has tingled here

I went to the theater for three nights in a row to get tickets for Spiderman 3. Sold out every time. The fourth time I went, the 10 rupee (25 cents) peon seats were the only ones left. Here's the scene waiting in line for a ticket. Running alongside the wall from the ticket window is a barred wall/cage packed to the brim with young men- different queue for the ladies. Thoughts of a South African football/soccer game were in my head. I was near the back of the line snaking out into the makeshift parking lot. They were on the cage but I felt like the animal at the zoo with the stares coming my way. I was talking to the gawkers near me with varying degrees of humor and temperament.

Look, everyone is completely allowed to see Spidey cause it's Spidey and an icon. But I don't think anyone I was yakking with in line spoke a word of English. But you know Shakespeare made his plays for the peons. I know Toby isn't exactly speaking like a Capulet, but maybe if he had than I would've gotten a ticket easier. I felt like going up and down the line giving the placement tests we used to do at my old schools. Fail and I get your spot in line. Oh, now I'm the asshole, right? Fair enough...I opted out on getting crushed in a box to sit 5 feet from the screen and went out for some beers...with me and my girlfriend- my iPod...

But I saw Spidey the next night and it was good enough. Going to movie in India is funny. There are no subtitles because there is no universal language- written or spoken. You always have people talking the whole movie to the people next to them- the best English speaker in the group translating for his friends I assume. At Spidey, the people all around me were yapping during the Oscar-worthy dialogue scenes and dead silent during the action scenes. Luckily there's no important conversations and all the words are three syllables or less so I could read their lips. My 14 hours bus ticket is booked to Chennai/Madras so I might be blogless for the next three days but check in anywho...
