I saw Knocked Up tonight. Fun, though not nearly as funny as The 40 Year Old Virgin.
One problem I had was wondering why Debbie and Pete were still married, since he seemed completely disassociated and she had nothing but angry contempt for him. Corollary problem: Alyson seemed to have sane perspective on her sister's view of men in the beginning, but bought into it as the movie went on. Being angry with someone because they don't magically turn into the person you want them to be is a prescription for unhappiness. Corollary to the corollary problem: Ben did magically turn into the person Alyson wanted him to be. I can see fatherhood maturing someone eventually, but over a few weeks? WTF?
Is anybody watch n posting the MTV Movie awards?
Went to see
Knocked Up
last night. Sold out. Booo!
Saw
Spidey 3
instead.
Booo.
Waitress was sold out yet again, so it's going to be week 3 of release before I get to see it. Though I'm increasingly confident it will be around for weeks and weeks. The last time an indie film sold out that much in this venue it was Brokeback Mountain, and that had a guaranteed audience of every interested gay man within 80 miles of Memphis.
I finally saw
Brokeback Mountain
a couple of weeks ago.
I have to admit, it was kinda blah to me. Now, I don't know how much that had to do with the movie or how much it had to do with the fact that I had just spent two days in Wyoming.
Why don't you guys go see movies on weekdays? They never sell out. Well once, the first show of The Departed sold out on a Monday but that's just 'cause it was in a smaller house.
I was amazed today that the theatre we were in for P3 had only about ... forty people in it, if my estimate is correct. LOTS of empty ROWS, not just seats.
But it was the third show -- 12:50, with 12:10 and 12:somethingelse is two other theaters, and three shows scheduled around 4ish. Still, I expected more people since it's only the second weekend, right?
Why don't you guys go see movies on weekdays?
Usually cause I'm working full time and then there's the munchkin. And school, usually.
Why don't you guys go see movies on weekdays?
I get home from work around 8pm or 8:30 most nights, and me going to a 10pm movie after 12 hours of work and driving = paying $8 for an uncomfortable nap.
OK weekends it is. Try going around 3:00 if there is such a show, there's usually a lull then. Also the first show of the day usually doesn't sell out. Sometimes you can get in to the very last show, too.
