What does it mean when your existential movie goes black?
So i was watching _I [Heart] Huckabees_ with about 30-40 other people in the Dobie Mall theatre last night. After about one hour and 40 minutes, the screen went dark, though the dialogue kept going. Someone at the end of my row joked that it was part of the movie, and most of the theatre laughed. Eventually someone from the theatre came, monkeyed with the "lamp" for about 15 minutes, gave up, and then distributed 2 free passes to each person in the theatre. I suspect there was about 10 minutes left in the movie. It's basically Douglas Adams' idea behind Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, but applied like therapy.
