What I WAS going to do with my Saturday...
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 3:37 pm
AMC theaters are doing their "Best Picture" showcase tomorrow...All 5 Best Picture nominees, back to back, starting at 11 AM. $30, including all the popcorn you can stuff into your face over 10 hours.
But unfortunately, it's SOLD OUT in the ONE AMC theater here in Pittsburgh...so I'm gonna have to go to 3 different theaters to see the nominees piecemeal. On the plus side, one of them ("Michael Clayton") is playing at a $1 theater...and I can skip "Juno" since I didn't think it was all that terrific the first time I saw it. I should be able to catch "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" before 6 PM (matinee pricing!), but I'll probably have to pay full price for "Atonement". But when you add it all up:
Atonement - $8
Blood - $5.50
Old Men - $5.50
Clayton - $1
That's only $20! I'm actually saving $10 (and popcorn's not on my diet anyway!).
Of course, I'll probably spend that much in gas going from theater to theater....
