Those who have dollar theatres in their area may want to check it out.  PDL's second run started yesterday here in Edmonton.   It's like christmas in March.

yes, indeed. i found  out about it today and saw it. how exactly does that work (second runs and all that is)?

Groovy stuff.  It's in 2 theaters here.  I can't wait.  How long will this last?

i don't know, but i saw it again on saturday. will see it yet again soon.

saw it for 50 cents at my theater.....usually its mostly thugs who hang out there but there were none to be seen at pdl

You guys are lucky, there is no where to see it around the SF Bay Area, and I am having withdrawls.

Same thing at my dollar theatre...tons of fucking suburban white thugs. It sucks because the theatre is actually pretty nice for a dollar theatre.

This is still a great surprise though. I'll definitely try to check it out again.

Oh, stop your whining you lucky freaking californian...you get to see all the cool movies I want to see 6 months before my town even realizes they exist! Think All the Real Girls is here yet? Hell no.

:wink:

Bitching bitches are what you are. Over here PDL premiered for the first time 2 weeks ago in something like 4 theaters nationwide. And you are bitching about the lack of second runs? Heck, I dont even know what that word means.

No, but I bet All the Real Girls is playing somewhere in New York. Remember, not everywhere is California is Hollywood.

I know, that's true. I just figured SF was one of the places that gets movies really early. Or at least a half an hour or so away from SF. I wasn't sure.

I can't wait till April 4th. I think the closest place to me that's playing ATRG right now is probably NYC...which is about 7 hours away by car...which I don't have. Oh well..I'm moving the fuck to California in 2 and a half hellish years...or maybe 6 and a half if I get accepted to NYU. Either way, I'll be living there soon enough.

Why do you want to live in California so much?

Quote from: Duck SauceWhy do you want to live in California so much?

Lots of reasons man...

The big reason is the weather definitely. I just can't stand snow and the winter and all that shit...I hate cold weather. I hate slipping on the ice and getting freaking colds and having to put fucking ten pounds of clothes on to go outside...it's annoying. I also hate driving in bad weather with the ice and everything. I cherish the fuck out of the summer here...partly because I hate school with every passion in the world but...also because of the nice weather.

Then of course there's all the other stuff that I'm always hearing about...the cool apartments, the cool restaurants, cool stores, and cool movie theatres...I'll get to see all the limited releases earlier. Those are definitely some of the essential things thay must be within reach of wherever I live. Then, I also want to be a filmmaker, it's my dream, I refuse to do anything else, I will become a filmmaker or die trying...california isn't a bad place at all to live if that's what you wanna do. I plan to apply to USC and try to get in there if I can...if not, there's tons of other film schools over there that I would be willing to check out.

What you really gotta remember is this...I'm living in suburban hell right now and I have all my life. You may not even notice these things that I mentioned...the weather or any of that...you may take that stuff for granted as it may not be as important to you...but I would kill to live in a place with all those things. I'm not saying it's perfect with the earthquakes and some of the arrogant people and all but I just think it's better than new york...call me crazy.

Some other places I've considered living are Miami, Atlanta, Louisiana, North Carolina, Vegas, Reno, and Paris. So, California isn't really set in stone...it's just a big possibility. I'm still open to other places. Good weather, limited releases, and a good film school are the only real essentials...any place with those, I would consider. The only thing that definitely definitely definitely so fucking definitely won't happen is that I'll stay here and waste my life.

I think you should visit California first, do both Northern and Southern, and avoid any place in Nevada, why do you want to live there?

I think I'm going to avoid Northern California actually, isn't it just as cold as New York? Cold weather is not an option, the southern part seems more ideal for me. But yeah, I'll definitely visit the place I end up living before I move in there, of course.

But about Vegas and Reno...Nevada seems really cool...why do you think I should avoid it?

Ha, that's funny. All The Real Girls is playing at my local theater, and I could easily just take a drive over there. Funny how life works, eh?

Quote from: bonanzatazFunny how life works, eh?

:twisted:

Yes...funny...very funny...funny as hell...hilarious. Seriously though, if I had my license, I would have seen it on Valentine's Day when it was intended for me to see it...I wouldn't be fucking waiting till April 4th.

By the way, have you seen it yet? Do you plan to? Is it too cool?

Also...just let me say this to everybody, completely off topic...

NEVER ever ever ever EVER go to a Churchville NY! It is the worst place on earth! Even if somebody gives you a million dollars and a handjob, do not go! I beg of you! I have wasted 16 years of my 16 year life here, I can warn you.

I really want to see it but I haven't had time. This weekend I'm definitely going, or during the week as I have break from school.

Where the hell did you hear this?

What about Nevada seems really cool? Casinos? Roller Coasters on top of hotels? What is in Nevada that you desire so much?

well, pdl is already out after one week at the 1.50 theater. i got to see it twice. it may be because the film messed up. both times i saw it the opening commercial with celione dion slowed down and screwed up. the second time, right when the Provo band scene starts, the film stopped and started playing the theater ads. after about 15 min. they got it going again.

i wondered how the whole 1 theater system works? these are all the old prints from the first run, resold at a cheaper price?
i had no idea it was a negotiated thing, but since they all started at the same time, i guess it is. does anyone know the system?

Catch Me If You Can just now got to the buck theater. it was at the regular theater ever since it opened til this week. i'm surprised it lasted that long.

great, fucked myself over for waiting so long. jungle book 2 replaced ATRG.

Looks like PDL's going to make a quick exit out of my dollar theatre too, it went from like 10 to 2 times over the course of the past week. I'm going to have to see it tommorow or else I'll end up having to wait until fucking July to see it again. I hate seeing movies on Sundays during the school year, any school night really. I should be able to enjoy PDL anyway though.

EDIT - Fuck YES! Looks like I might have one more week after all...or at least a few days. I must see it before the long wait for the fucking barebones DVD.
