'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
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.

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.
I saw Knocked Up. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Judd Apatow is a good movie-maker.
Waitress
Crossing my fingers that this is the movie that finally makes Nathan Fillion a star. I hope I get to see it before it leaves.
Waitress is starting to drop off (it's peaked), so it'll disappear from wide release shortly. It'll do about 12 million in the US in total. Not bad for a tiny indy film. (nearly half of Serenity's amount, which cost $40m - heh)
Oh no! I haven't had a chance to see it yet. (I don't even know if it's playing here.)
I checked the IMDB - -the closest theatre that's showing Waitress is in the northern 'burbs (at least an hour away), the next closest is in Indianapolis and the third closest is in St. Louis.
Come on out and see me, sumi--it's playing in a few of the theaters in my neighborhood. We can make a day of it!
