Unlike last summer, there have been very few movies this summer that I’ve been interested in seeing. (With the notable exceptions of X-Men 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean, both of which I found… okay.)<\/p>\n

So how come when there is finally a movie I want to see<\/a>, it’s not showing in Morgantown?<\/p>\n

We still haven’t decided about “A Scanner Darkly” but that is already at the Warner, which is not the best place to watch a movie.<\/p>\n

I’m still undecided about “Invincible”<\/a>. Not only am I not sure I can sit through two(?) hours of seventies hair and clothing (shudder) but I’d have to find someone to go with, because I really can’t see Michael being at all interested in a football movie.<\/p>\n

And we’ll just have to see if “Fearless”<\/a> is an option. I’d think it would be, but then I thought the same about “The Illusionist”.<\/p>\n

ADDENDUM the First<\/strong>:
\nLet me clarify a bit why I’m frustrated. We now have three theaters. One small, old, three screen theater, and two mega-plexes, each with 12 screens (at least I think it’s 12).<\/p>\n

BOTH<\/strong> of the mega-plexes are showing:
\n“Accepted”
\n“Barnyard”
\n“Material Girls”
\n“Pulse”
\n“Snakes on a Plane” (two screens in each theater)
\n“Step Up”
\n“Talladega Nights” (two screens in one theater)
\n“The Descent”
\n“World Trade Center”
\n“Zoom”<\/p>\n

So there is complete overlap on ten screens (eleven if you count Snakes on a Place twice)<\/p>\n

No one is showing “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Factotum”, or “The Illusionist”–all three of which are positively rated on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, while “Step Up”, “Barnyard”, “Material Girls”, and “Pulse” all are rated under 25%.<\/p>\n

And that’s why I’m bitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
