I'm in the mood to complain today.
(Well, er, uh, I'm ALWAYS in the mood to complain, so, er, uh, .... let's just get on with it!)
What's up with the management of the movie theaters in this town? Why is it that many of the most critically acclaimed, new releases, don't show up until weeks after they are released, if at all, and then we're lucky if they show up in more than one theater?
Recent examples - No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood.
These are both nominated for Best Picture Oscars - neither one of them showed up until weeks after their initial release. AND THEY ONLY SHOWED UP IN ONE THEATER - at Valley Plaza.
How many showings of Alvin and the Chipmunks does The Marketplace have to do before they can book a great film once in awhile?
And There Will Be Blood is about the oil industry!!! You'd think in this town there'd be a built in audience for that!
