Well, poop.

I just found out that there are special 25th-anniversary showings of Back to the Future playing in AMCs around the country, including the one not three miles down the road from my house. There was one show Saturday, and one tonight. Which started 56 minutes ago.

Thanks for publicizing that so well that the only way I found out about it was reading the blog of someone who lives in Florida, AMC Star Fitchburg 18. Apparently you don't want my money! I guess it works out, though, since I obviously didn't want to see a totally awesome movie on the big screen, especially not one I never had a chance to see in a theater before since I was four when it came out and also probably living in Greece at the time. So, yeah. Totally appreciate that.

Sad Jenny is sad.

On the bright side, you can actually watch a lot of stuff in theaters that we don't get here at all. Winter's Bone is the latest one I can name off the top of my head. Toy Story 3 without a Hebrew dub. Southland Tales, though that turned out to suck. The list goes on.

Yeah, there is that, I suppose. Although I thought that these days basically everything got released basically everywhere, even though granted probably it would still be dubbed.

The solution, plainly, is to destroy the universe.

Hardly anything is dubbed here, only child-oriented things. And stuff like Harry Potter which is seen to have adult appeal plays both dubbed and subtitled. But Toy Story doesn't, alas, at least not in Haifa.

And Where The Wild Things Are and Scott Pilgrim play(ed) at child times, two and four PM.

Huh. Yep, Scott Pilgrim, that's definitely a kid's movie. Wait, what?

Stupid kids, not being able to read well enough to have their movies subbed. Plainly everything is their fault.

Hey, apparently some are showing it again (http://www.amctheatres.com/bttf/) this Saturday! I don't know if that includes yours, though.

My first reaction to this was "gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah thanks a lot AMC that's a lot of help given that I'll be at a film festival in PEORIA!" Then I checked and saw that the closest showing is in Milwaukee, which is like a two-hour drive from here. I'm going to pretend like that length of drive would make it not worth it even though we're driving more than two hours to get to Peoria.

Man, in a fight between BTTF and a combination of Thirsty, Night of the Hell Hamsters, and a whole bunch of zombie-themed horror shorts, no matter who wins, I still lose. I need Dr. McNinja-style cloning-then-rejoining technology.
