Insanely Loud
by TheSirenCoy on 8/5/25Pensacola Saenger Theatre - PensacolaRating: 3 out of 5The soundtrack to the movie wasn’t great, so the dialogue was hard to understand, but then the sound messed up completely and they had to stop the film.
(Which has never happened in my whole life of 51 years.) so in total, it skipped and/or lost sound 4 or 5 times, as well as the picture disappearing 2 or 3 times.
The problem really, was that they were trying to play the sound too loud, and it was making the speakers skip. I suggested turning the volume down. But neither usher I suggested this to, did anything to pass my idea to the booth.
So then. after they got the sound going again, they turned it ALL THE WAY UP.
So, what was hard to comprehend dialogue, turned into painfully unintelligible garble.

Shatner was great.!!
Very funny, and is the only reason I’m not totally pissed- bcz i did go to see him, & not so much the movie.
But I wish he had spoken longer, he was so enjoyable.

I wish I could have afforded the after meet and greet.

I was really hoping that I would somehow get to sing for him, but his stage-exit was abrupt, & i was too shy to scream ‘wait’, and I didn’t know to submit a question ahead or how. I thought the question and answer session was going to be a line with a microphone we would stand in and ask the questions ourselves.
If I had known I had to submit a question ahead of time/ I would have asked -
“Have you ever heard a real SirenSong?and would you like to hear one.”

Anyhoo, all in all I guess It was okay.
This was the first ‘event’ I’ve been to in over a decade. I can’t even remember the last time I went to a movie. So. It was really nice to get out, but then, kind of uncomfortable… the seats were so small, (that theater was built before people got large.) &The people next to me brought their very old, blind, wiener dog, which I thought was odd.

So-
Despite everything that was horribly uncomfortable and awkward about the evening, I really enjoyed the 15 mins of Mr Shatner. :)
Thanks, I hope I get to see him again somewhere.
Later y’all;)
