Shaun of the Dead looks to be fun.
I think Jessica saw that. Somebody here did, because there was also discussion about the TV series that it grew out of.
eta Heh! Should have just waited two minutes.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
WTF?? Shaun of the Dead is not playing in Chicago?
eta: Stupid Yahoo Movies. It's playing in one theater, right downtown. Plus some theaters in the suburbs. Still, what's up with that?

Yes you may. (The better it does, the sooner NU can start using Zach as it's successful-alumnus poster child instead of David Schwimmer.)

Huh? Ebert reviewed it in the Sun Times and he doesn't do that if the movie hasn't opened yet (as opposed to his show where he does).

Yeah, I was relying on Yahoo Movies. Fandango found one theater in downtown Chicago.

Use the Metromix page at the Tribune's website to get a pretty accurate movie listing for Chicago and 'burbs--it's got Shaun of the Dead in 24 theaters in the area.

Oh duh. There's more theaters listed on the next page at Fandango. But I avoid going to 'burbs other than Evanston.
I guess the moral of the story is that I cannot be relied upon for accurate information on showings of Shaun of the Dead in Chicago.
