%$#@!
Do I live in the freaking boonies?!? I mean, I know this is a rural area, but still... Can our local theatres not get one single movie that I want to see on time?!?
I woke up this morning knowing today was the day. September 30, 2005--the day SERENITY is released nationwide. Not like I've been keeping track or anything. But the paper doesn't come until late afternoon & I want to know now where & when it's playing. So I spent the morning doing an internet search for all our local theatres. Not a single one of them has a website or online listing of what's showing, but I found phone numbers & proceeded to call them all. For most, I was met with a recording of what's playing & when. Fine. I don't really care as long as they tell me what I want to know.
But not a single one is playing SERENITY! What is with that?!? I am not happy. But I also haven't given up. I have a feeling--good feeling, bad feeling; I don't know yet--that the listings will change tonight, as they usually do on Fridays. Yes, you'd think the telephone recordings would be updated with this weekend's shows, but maybe they haven't gotten around to it yet.
So I will bide my time. I will stay busy. And I will watch the front yard for that newspaper like I'm waiting for the FedEx man to deliver new cover art. :-) Then we'll see where SERENITY is playing. And it had better be playing somewhere within driving distance or heads will roll.
On the up side, each theatre I called is playing RED EYE, which I thought looked good & a friend told me I'd like. So I could go to that. Maybe I could sit in the theatre watching RED EYE until they switch films & start playing SERENITY.
But I won't, because this weekend is all about SERENITY. Now if only my local theatres would get with the program.
