Random Factoid #98

3 11 2009

Earlier this year, I became very worried that I – gasp – would not be able to see all of the great movies out in theaters.  I began to plan for double feature days at the movies.  I did this by creating a Word document, using tables for each theater.  The table showed the movies that I wanted to see showing at that particular theater, the showtime, and the time that I estimated it would end.  With that ending time, I mapped out every plausible double feature.  During the three months that I made these documents, I went to a grand total of zero double features.  Just goes to show how I wasted considerable amounts of my time.

But wasting time is fun. I’m sure you felt a sense of accomplishment finishing the list. Right?

Oh, of course! As we head into Oscar season, I won’t be looking at double features. HERE’S TO TRIPLE FEATURES! I’m already thinking “Up in the Air,” “Nine,” and either “Sherlock Holmes” or “It’s Complicated” on Christmas Day. Hopefully Paramount will open “Up in the Air” in Houston before that though…I have entered my earnest plea to them.

TO be honest that sounds like the ideal Christmas [Sherlock Holmes for me].
