So anyway, Watchmen opens this weekend, which rather demands a movie excursion. Now, some folks work until 7pm, so we usually aim for an showtime somewhere around 8pm. Full showtimes, of course, don't post until Thursday, so that detail will have to wait until then. I expect there will be plenty of showtimes for something that's being advertised this hard.

Then we come to the theater choice. We tend to wind up at the Regal Commerce Center 18. Why? Well take a look at that map I just linked there. Those three residences just south of the regal skews the choices south. We northerly folks make a lot of noise about picking closer theaters, but we always seem to wind up down there. (The Loews would make a better compromise, but it's not a very good theater, so we bypass it. Other pros and cons of the various theaters are noted on the map.)

On the off chance we'll change the pattern, and because of an off-the-cuff comment by aiskon, I'm going to throw a couple of polls out there.

Poll #1357920 Theater Choice For Watchmen on Friday
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 7

What theaters are acceptable options?

Which is your preferred theater?

Remember I was proposing a movie expedition to see Coraline? Well, here it is Thursday, and the weekend showtimes are out. As I'd suspected, we're still looking at "11:45am 2:05 4:35 7:05 9:35pm" as the showtimes for the 3D version.

So, again, we've got the downside of 7:05pm being too early for folks who work the 10-7 shift) and 9:40pm resulting in an awfully late bedtime for some of us fogeys. Someone did suggest Saturday afternoon as an alternate, which also has some issues. Thus I shall put it up to a vote before deciding to do whatever I please.

What showtimes could you make it to?
