No wonder Bossy doesn’t go to the movies. This movie theater brochure came in the mail last week and sister mercy Bossy needs help from her readersreader:
What in feck’s name is playing and when does the fooker start?
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?
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.
Who gives a shit about the movie? I go for the really long and really loud previews, then often walk out on the feature.
Who the hell can AFFORD to go to a movie?
I will need to remortgage my house to go to a movie…and if we get popcorn? Our first-born child is theirs.
wait… wha? is this one of those abbott & costello routines? who’s on first…

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
Can’t help you with the movies, but how great is your lone reader?! Thanks for the link. I am loving her site.
GirlPlease, indeed.
I think I need a drink after reading that. It’s worse than some IRS regulations I should be deciphering right now…
Just What theater sends that information (or Lack thereof)?
i was thinking Laurel and Hardy myself.
AWESOME. WHERE exactly do you live again???
I think this is pulled from “Moviegoing for Dummies.”
Pardon me? What was the question?
What the crap kind of ad is that?!
I’ll let you know on the fifth Tuesday of the third favorite month. Now stop bugging me with stupid questions.
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.
Who sent that to you? A lawyer? Or maybe it was a computer programmer?

Here’s how I would do my job as a copywriter:
When do films start?
Who the f**k knows? Give us your e-mail and we’ll send you the schedule when we’re not too drunk to type! Weeeee!
the only solution is to turn up there at 9.00am monday morning and wait patiently outside until something you want to watch comes on. have fun
Don’t ask me. I haven’t seen a movie since… well in a long time.

Amy, that is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Who’s on first? Wha wha wha?
Obviously, a great film, and you can’t see it, because it just stopped its run.
(Uh, one notes that bolding (AND Linking!) is not allowed in the comments. I guess certain style elements are reserved only to the proprietress).
I love it!
Get HBO and watch Big Love instead.
Fire your Newman for putting this in your box.
Problem solved.
WTF? I have seen 30 page legal contracts that were more legible than this…
