thinking ahead

the trailers for garden state are amazing, so i was thinking that might be a good movie to see this weekend. i noticed it was playing at the arclight cinemas hollywood, but then further noticed that the off-peak price (what some less snooty people might call the matinee price) is $11.

now the arclight is a really, really nice theater, but $11 for a matinee just strikes me as terribly offensive.

garden state is also playing at the laemmle’s playhouse 7 cinemas in pasadena. the matinees are $6.

or maybe i’ll just stick to my local theatre and see maria full of grace and hope they bring in garden state in a week or two.
