   Who gives a shit about the movie? I go for the really long and really loud previews, then often walk out on the feature.

   In other words, the Grand Phoo-ba of film decision, can’t decide if the decision date is Monday or Tuesday, or if the film will end on Thursday or run through the following Thursday … until he has captured a confused audience!

   But … they will let you know … for sure … sorta … one way or the other … email or website, or perhaps carrier pigeon?

   An excellent example of someone assuming people give a damn. I hate it when people do that. Stupid people.

   Wow. I’m suddenly reminded of Orwell’s concept of Double Speak.

   Hopefully you weren’t actually intending to *see* a movie. lol

   I think I need a drink after reading that. It’s worse than some IRS regulations I should be deciphering right now…

    Now I feel like I know less about when the movies play than I did before reading the oh-so-informative brochure.

    I wonder how much that little bit of promotion cost them to send out.

    Most times when I see a movie advertised on TV I just add it to our Netflix list. This way I can watch it from home, sitting in my underwear & not be broke when its over! lol

    Confused am I very much so that I don’t know how confused I am exactly on what day I should or should not watch a movie that might end on Thursay or not. I think I’ll decide next week how confused I am about what movie I am not going to see.

    Obviously, a great film, and you can’t see it, because it just stopped its run.

    Get HBO and watch Big Love instead.

    Fire your Newman for putting this in your box.

    Problem solved.
