Flexibility

I finally spent a few minutes looking at the schedules for the three screenings for which I didn't get a ticket and I have a basic plan of action. There aren't any other screenings for Zack and Miri Make a Porno that I can see, so I'll have to try to rush for that one. For those of you who are too lazy to click on the link, "Rushing" is shorthand for "waiting in line and hoping that some extra seats become available". If I don't get in, I can catch it in a major theatre near me when it comes out on Halloween. It won't be the same, though. There's something about seeing a movie like that in a packed house of jazzed Kevin Smith fans. And, I'll have all week to find another movie to see in its place.

I can see Synecdoche, New York on Thursday afternoon before Gigantic, if there any tickets left for that screening. If not, I can always rush for it and most assuredly get in. Since I have nothing pressing going on that day, I could easily be the first person in the rush line. And, of course, I will have the fallback of "a major theatre near me". That one isn't nearly as cool to see with a festival crowd.

The tough one is The Paranoids. It probably won't play at any theatres near me, so Netflix would be my only alternative option. Also, it is the only screening while I'm in town. My schedule dictates that I will have very little time in the rush line, so I guess I'll just hope for the best. If I miss it, well, I suppose worse things have happened to better people. On the bright side, I can have a nap before Sexykiller and see a bonus movie on Saturday.
