And screamed in utter frustration! Good day all. Tomorrow, (December 18th<\/sup>), Star Wars, the Force Awakens world wide, with one exception. It will not be opening in Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing that comes to mind is the Egyptian government, for some unknown reason, pulled the plug. That wasn’t the case. Here’s what happened according to Yahoo News:<\/p>\n

Maybe the Dark Side is to blame.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or possibly, the Muslim Brotherhood. Lord knows they hate anyone having fun.<\/p>\n

Fans in Egypt with IMAX tickets for the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” were bitterly disappointed when the theater in Cairo said it was cancelling its showings on opening day.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cdEQmpVIE4A’]<\/p>\n

Well, it wasn’t the Muslim Brotherhood or the Egyptian government that caused the opening day delay.<\/p>\n

“We are extremely sorry to let you know that the IMAX copy of STAR WARS shipped to our theatre is corrupt,” the theatre said on its Facebook page Wednesday.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Corrupt? It isn’t a digital copy? Oh well, life’s a bitch. I’m sure the fans are taking this in stride though.<\/p>\n

“I was livid. We have been planning it since November, reserved tickets online and everything was under control, then they tell us ‘Sorry,'” 34-year-old fan Mahmoud Salem said. “They are lucky people here aren’t die-hard fans. If this had happened in the U.S., they would have set the theatre on fire.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmm, I guess not. Oh well, I’m sure they can amuse themselves with a goat or something. Or they can go talk to their \u201cmummies\u201d about it.<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
