This country has reached a new low.

Wow that's awful!

so you're telling me you're not going to go see Big Mommas House 2?

This doesn't surprise me.

this is why i stayed home today and watched "raiders of the lost ark"

I long for the days when only fine films like Booty Call would grace the top 5.

Whats worse is I live about 10 minutes from 4 movie theaters. One of them has 30 theaters inside it. What can they possibly be showing you ask?

Some of the great films like the ones mentioned in the beginning have showings like every hour.

We are in hell.

You have all these and you're complaining? I don't have shit here! And the theaters are fucking 60 minutes away!

While those are some pretty shitty movies, to be fair, this time of year is when most of the crap is unloaded that nobody wants to see.

Yeah if I were in your position I'd be going to see Capote, Shopgirl or Munich I think.

Yeah, I'd go to any of those (besides King Kong and Walk The Line, which I saw during their one-week runs here ).

Not a complaint friends, infact probably gonna see one tonight. Just showing you there is a lot of crap, but some good stuff too. Unfortuantley as you guys have said the majority of the public either A. Does not have access to the good stuff, or B. Has no interest in it because they have no taste

One week? Seriously?

Back in my hometown (not where I currently live) they have a 3 screen theater, which is actually the first theater in that entire county for as long as I've been alive, and even they had both of those for a couple of weeks, I saw them while I was home for the holidays.

Well, King Kong has had a few weeks, but yeah, Walk The Line was short-lived. But of course, fucking HOSTEL has been out for many weeks, and I can't see it.

Summers County had that beat. There is a one screen theater in Hinton which showed a 3 month old movie twice a week. I don't even know if it is even open anymore because I never bother even going there. If you want to see something new, you have to go to Beckley.

Driving Miss Daisy won the academy award for best picture in 1990. No single week can ever compete with the shit that was the entire year of 1989. Actually there were a few good films that year, but not very many.

Do the Right Thing was a 1989 film, but whether or not that's a good movie, is, of course, open to interpretation. I happen to find it to be an important film, and it never made sense to me why quasi-racial-harmony bullshit like Driving Miss Daisy was even considered.

As I said, there were a few good films that year. Born on the Fourth, Batman, Last Crusade, Dead Poets, Glory. Overall it was shit though.

Wow, and I thought the theater situation here was bad.

The biggest theater in the area is being remodeled, so we're down to eight screens for the enitre fall and winter seasons. But they managed to show all the good stuff (King Kong, Munich, Walk The Line, etc) for at least two or three weeks. They still have Narnia here, which I have yet to soak in.
