We hit up the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar to see the Pineapple Express on Sunday afternoon at 4:35pm. Naturally, we arrived at the show about an hour beforehand so that we could have our cold beers and chips and queso on hand before the movie started, however, this was not to be our day. The movie was sold out for the next three showings–and the line for the 4:35pm show looked like they’d been there for at least an hour and patiently waiting for Apatow’s latest gut-buster.
I guess the movie had only been out for less than a week and a Sunday matinee showing is rather desirable to a Friday night viewing for most and that’s why it was sold out. What strikes me as off is that the Drafthouse web site didn’t note that the show was already sold out before our five minute drive (I’m the type who always triple checks the time of the show right before I leave the house just to make sure).
It would be neat if there were some kind of “heat” rating on movie house web sites where it would show you the collective desire by past ticket sales to determine the public’s desire to see the movie (and so you can plan accordingly). Or, better yet, let us know how many seats are still available for a show (or at the very least, whether it’s nearly sold out or sold out).
To make a long story short, I probably should have just used Fandango.
I’m going to start trying to write a post a day from now on. No other mention of the attempt will be made, all focus will be geared towards execution.
And I’m already going to procrastinate until later after football.
So Stacey and I decided to pick up some Rapid Cleanse - 7 day cleansing system from Whole Foods yesterday. The DVD of Brenda Watson is one of the worst videos I’ve ever seen in my life–right up there with Because I Said So.
We’re on the first day as of this morning and the abdominal pain is rather intense. That’s all I’ll say about that.
