Miscellaneous Movie Musings

What's the release date??




(and who can score some LSD???)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Today. (for the release date, not the LSD)

[mousepod]

It's out today. It's playing at Arclight, The Grove and The Landmark. Online ticketing isn't available for any of these theaters (through Fandango, at least), but we'd love to go tonight.

Anyone else?

(oh... and no LSD from/for me, thanks.)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

mememememe!

But I don't know how long it'll take me to get home from Santa Monica.

And: you can buy the tickets direct from Arclight. I'd vote to go there (love it!)

[mousepod]

Well, the Arclight is the closest of the three to us - so that works for me. What time should we shoot for?

We're going to see it at the Arclight at 8:05 tonight... so if anyone is in the neighborhood...

My friend bought the Universe soundtrack today and we were listening to it after school. Eddie Izard singing Mr. Kite is great!

I HATE the Arclight.

1. Reserved seating means that, unless you get tickets all together, you cannot go to a movie with friends. That sucks right hard right there, and is 93% of the reason I hate that place.

2. Even being the most expensive theater in Los Angeles, they still don't include the price of parking with your ticket. And so, even with the validation, you then have to wait in a Looooooong line after your film to pre-pay your parking fees, or wait forever to get out of the lot (or both).

3. The bait-and-switch they pulled on me tonight. I bought tickets for 3:10 to Yuma in the Cinerama Dome. Much as I hate the entire Arclight experience, I loves me the great theater that is the Cinerama Dome. But when I arrive, the Dome is closed for a private event, and they want me to see the movie I paid $14 for in some anonymous black box theater of theirs. Er, not. Refund, please.


It will a be a loooong time before I go to the Arclight again. That place sucks.

You should''ve just joined the others at that Beatles film.

[xharryb]

So did people actually go to the Taymor film? How was it? It's the kind of thing I'll have to go to another town to find at a small artsy type theater, so I'm wondering if it's worth the effort or I should just wait for the DVD.

I'm not as big a Beatles fan as most around here, but I thought it was a great piece. I really enjoyed some of the dance/animation/effects numbers and also like the coy allusions to the real Beatles story. I enjoyed how she captured an era. I grew up in the 60's and really dug the metaphorical nostalgia.
