I got up at 9:00 this morning (on my only morning to sleep in) and drove 25 miles to see the 10:15am showing of Good Night and Good Luck…only to find that there was no 10:15am showing. It is a 10:15pm showing. And a 10:15pm showing only – no other options, not playing at any other remotely local theaters.
So I was screwed. For only the second time in 14 years, I will not see all five best picture nominees before the Oscars.
It was a mistake in the theater’s newspaper listing, so I threw a hissy fit with management and got a free pass for any time in the next month. But that is cold comfort when I have failed so abjectly.
