Jun. 5th, 2004 10:38 pmSo I said to my beloved
solarbird, "So I've got this free movie card! What should we spend it on?" And she said, "The Day After Tomorrow!" Last night, accordingly, we made the plan to go out tonight and go enjoy disaster porn goodness. And although
spazzkat,
kathrynt, and
llachglin wanted to see Shrek 2, we went and met them for dinner and hung out, and that was fun.
We were going to the same theater, so we went on around over there... and parted company before we got up to the theater as we parked elsewhere in the shopping center.
Here's the annoying part, though. The show times listed for The Day After Tomorrow on our local paper's web page had the movie playing pretty much hourly this evening at this particular theater: 6:20, 7:20, 8:20, 9:20, 10:30. We got there, though, to find that THERE WAS NO 9:20 SHOWING.
Dara made the Sad Dara Face. The Woodinville Theater staff should be ashamed of themselves for making Dara make the Sad Dara Face!
We didn't want to stay for the 10:30 showing, so I proposed to Dara instead, "So what say we come back to the Grand Illusion and go see The Blob?" This sounded like an adequate substitute for disaster porn.
Except it turns out that the showing they've got tonight is actually a 1988 lame-o remake of the 1958 film. That's no fun!
Bah. So now we're going to go to Scarecrow and see if we can rent either It Happened One Night, which Kathryn highly recommended, or maybe The Towering Inferno, because WE WANT TO SEE A DISASTER MOVIE DAMMIT!
