in a short answer...no.
it is a sad comment on the state of things when, in doing my research, i no longer need to look at the mainstream theatre's webpages to find out what new hollywood films will be bestowed upon the screens of our fair city. i find lately that all i need to do is take a gander at landmark theatres site for the keystone "art" cinema and magically the newest hollywood release would be displayed for me there. this week its get smart(which in fairness i will probably see...at the drive-in)
so what's the deal. the amc's of the world get all the sequels and landmark gets all the old tv shows. (gus van sant's "cheers"...how you like dem apples...thats all im saying.) speaking of gus van sant...i think that might have been the last "post" film upon which landmark's indy incarnation could hang its "art" hat.
and that was before i started this blog, therefore it didn't actually "happen."
so its off to tibbs drive in...the greatest place for movie loving friends of beer cannes in the city.
c'mon landmark...get me the duchess of langlais...get me alexandra...
step your game up.

More of that whole "money ruining things" thing. I'm sure the art films don't pay the rent of that prime real estate.
I'm just pissed that they brought "In Bruges" back for a week and only showed it AT NOON on weekdays.
Nice for movie theater employees, not so nice for us 830-to-1700'ers.
Yeah, we have that kind of clout. We can bring back movies just for our staff to watch.
Sheesh... I meant folks with not-so-rigid work times, not JUST theater employees.
I spent almost every summer weekend of my youth at that drive-in. still have the swing sets and the merry-go-round?
