"With movie ticket prices reaching $10 and beyond in most theaters, moviegoers are in an awkward position these days. No one should ever have to fork over $10 to the evil MPAA just to see 85 minutes of whatever Hollywood is currently peddling as entertainment. So what is the avid, but principled, moviegoer to do?"Now this is an idea.
A theatre hopper schedule generator.
Tell it your ZIP/Postal Code, your preferred theatre, the amount of time you're prepared to wait between screenings, and it tells you what you'll see and when - 5 for the price of 1. Above is my schedule for the Paramount (now Scotiabank Theatre) for tomorrow.
Have been feeling oddly nostalgic of late. The twisted, fun little things that really added something to a week. My friend Mike and I used to have the 'do something stupid a week' club. We'd do one thing a week that was somehow beyond the usual suspects of what to do. Thus we
- Went to a Christian roller skate night
- Got drunk at 2 and toured the shoe museum
- Faked a birthday at Hooters to see what their policy is
Nothing exotic. Just new ways to explore the city.
Maybe I will theatre hop this weekend. Maybe I'll do it drunk on rollerskates.
