“People of Earth, your attention, please!”
The world is going to end on April 29th, and I definitely plan to have good seats to watch.
The film version of one of my all-time favorite novels EVER debuts this Friday, and I’m going to be there, really sassing where my towel is. I’d like as many of you who wish to join in this glorious event to do so for a 9pm-ish showing at the CLEARVIEW* AMC Palace theater. As of this writing showtimes and ticket-buying are unavailable at www.movietickets.com. However, we plan to keep checking back frequently until we can secure our own passes to “the best bang since The Big One” for a show in the nine-or-ten o’clock range. More specifics as they become available. So, all you hoopy froods stay tuned for more as it becomes available via the sub-ether news channel. And for the rest of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys.
*Why Clearview and not Elmwood? I’m glad you asked. 1) Elmwood has seats that smush my fat ass and hips uncomfortably, making movie-going not as enjoyable as it could be – now if I could just figure a way to get a Barca-lounger in there, with one of those massage-backs, Elmwood would be great! or 2) “Uh, I just like it better” – which is the response I usually get when I ask folks “why Elmwood?” Whichever one you pick is fine.
UPDATE 04/26/2005 4pm
www.movietickets.com has opened showtimes and (I would assume) ticket buying for Friday the 29th.
There is a 7:45p showing at CLRVW and a 10:15. I am inclined to go to the 10:15, giving opportunity for everyone to get home from work, get themselves some grub, and slide on over the cinema. That way, some of the kiddies can get their movie-seeing in, and get out of our way, too. I’m going to buy my 10:15 tickets online tonight.

Something’s missing here….

Neo: Whoa, deja vu.
Trinity: What did you see?
Neo: A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.
Trinity: How much like it, was it the same cat?
Neo: Might have been, I’m not sure. What is it?
Trinity: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something…

(Continuing the “why Clearview and not Elmwood” vein):
3) It’s closer to most than Elmwood.
4) The hot teenage chicks all seem to live at Clearview.

VUNILA. Should have been a character in HHGG, if you ask me.
“Eh, it’s just zis movie, you know?…”
Hooray for this. Hooray indeed. I dig the clearview idear, meself. I think it will be a little less wacky, considering it HHGG opens alongside XXXII: State of the Onion. And I mean, hey, we saw Les Incredibles there, and it wasn’t so bad.
I hate to admit it, but I was considering asking off of work to go see an early morning showing. Is that wrong? I wanted to make some phone calls to try and sneak into the Thursday night screening but I’ve recently discovered that my ex-boss wants me castrated over a certain missing piece of property.
So, to summarize the summary of the summary, let’s do it! I’ll see the shit twice if I need to! Lead the way, Miltor!

“SUKISU”! Awww, yee-ah. Suki Suki, Su!
A) GonzO – I should have known I could rely on you to say what’s hidden deep down in my heart. Closer chicks, indeed.
and
ii.) Snap – I considered taking off a half-day Friday to see it, then I remembered that I don’t get paid when I’m not at work. And when all you’ve got is 30 Altarian dollars to see the wonders of the galaxy with, it rather makes one reconsider truancy.

By the way, would anyone like to volunteer to notify those of our group who don’t read this blog, for whatever reason?
Credit where it’s due – MissyG has been extolling the virtues of a Phone Tree. She’s usualy right about these things…

TOBUNG – All I can say is it would be nice if I made it. No plans yet. 42!
April 26th, 2005 at 6:27 am
Agreed! The Newlyweds will be in town? I vaguely recall hearing something about a cruise.
April 27th, 2005 at 11:30 am
Um, mah Raspberry Biatch is coming in town, and she really wants to see the movie, too. So as long as her train isn’t late, you can count on three from my house.

You guys are nerd to the third.

Shortbus – the more the merrier!
Also, it may be helpful to notify me by 9pm Friday how many of should be joining us. If we can, we’ll try to arrange for seating together based on how many of us will be there.

This is priceless.
April 29th, 2005 at 9:32 am
Am I the only one having trouble seeing whatever is priceless? Also, is it wrong that I have absolutely no desire to see this movie. Oh well. Wake me when it’s time for Star Wars.
