GIANT! MONKEY! MOVIE!

[annathepiper]

So I want to go see me some King Kong goodness, but the next many days promise to be chock full of holiday wacky. This Friday will be the first Friday of its run, and therefore likely to be crowded. This Saturday there are plans, this Sunday I will be out of town, and NEXT weekend is of course Christmas. Also, now that I am about to rejoin the ranks of the employed, going to see a movie that long on a school night is inadvisable.

Anybody in the local crowd got a) interest in seeing some Kong and b) thoughts on when a good day to do it might be? Or shall I assume a large movie crowd is out of the question till after the holidays are over? Speak now or forever hold your monkey!

I'm available Friday and Sunday. After that I won't be able to do the movie thing until I get back from Va.

We used to go on Monday nights, when the movie was pretty much guaranteed to still be in the theatre but the weekend blitz had settled out...

The Oak Tree on Aurora and 100th has it, and you could catch a bus from Real up there fairly easily.... catch the 6:45 and you might even get home at a decent hour. Or you could try it on the 26th, which some folks have off...

Well, the major factor I'm considering here is that many of the immediate-to-Murkworks crowd are going to be out of town for the holidays--spazzkat, for example, won't be back until the 28th.

Also, we tend to go either to the Woodinville theater or the ones in the U-district, just because those are the ones most conveniently situated to people's residences and/or jobs.

I strongly suspect though that solarbird, mamishka, and I may be going out on Christmas Day to see it... we don't have anyone local to spend the day with, so we'll be hanging out together anyway. Official Murkworks Holiday Gift Exchange tends to be delayed till after everybody's back from visiting families. :)

Are you a 'Get Fuzzy' comic fan? Your "mmmmm monkeys" comment prompts me to ask.

I can't bring myself to go see Kong. It makes me sad.

I don't follow it religiously, but yeah, I like me some Get Fuzzy. ^_^

I fully expect to have my heartstrings tugged by the ape, but I'm also going for some Giant Monkey Vs. T-Rex fighting goodness, too!
