I haven't spent a whole day in a theater in probably fifteen years. Guess what my wife and I are doing on the 24th?

We're watching movies.

Good thing Little Miss Sunshine runs last. We've both seen it already and we can skip it if we're tired of it all by then.

I have only seen The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine, but I loved both of them!

I will often to a 2 fer at the movies. I've even done 4 movies...and yes my ass HURT and I thought I'd be sick from all the popcorn I ate. But it's sort of fun just the same.

that's such a cool promotion. I know Dalya and I would run the $30 value up to at least $55 buying more popcorn and sour straws...and reece's pieces.

here's a question I always wonder when looking up new movies and seeing there is nothing good on. Why don't more cinemas show old classic films. You know, the kind where you have to see it in the cinema to get the full experience. The top grossing ones of the 80's & 90's. They've brought back all the tv shows/films to dvd that we watched when we were kids since we now have a lot of disposable income so why not the same for bringing great movies back to the big screen. Surely one of those jumbomegagigamondo complexes could devote one screen to showing classics for about $3-4 a ticket and still make a killing on their $2.50 bottled water.

some theaters do this as midnight, but I would like to to have the chance to see them earlier. When i plan on just going to the movies at midnight sometimes I fall asleep. because I'm old. Big Lebowski and harold and Maude were good to see. Oh and some 3d 70s porn I saw at Angelica. Money shot. BAM.

I'm glad I got to see that at the Casa Linda. It ran there for 15 years or something. I only went once. The highschool friend who amazingly turned out to be a gay yoga instructor went every week, in costume, as Dr. F.

It's been years since I've seen all of the best pic nominations. It would be cool, but I don't know if I can do close to 14 hours in a row.

Bon and I saw Belle de Jour at the Angelika late last year. It was kinda cool catching an older film on the big screen.
