... not that anyone could tell from the AMC results.
I'm accustomed to the A*List not being correct, but usually the listing of tickets is a true representation of what happened for me at the cinema.
Nope, not this week!
Also, it may seem that they have erroneously listed two movies as the same when they should be different, but that is correct as shown.
That may have happened when the manager changed the movie time.
I'd bought the ticket for the 4:55 PM show, but then it was shifted to 5:15 PM, and I think perhaps my ticket was "replaced" by the one with the new time, though I only watched the movie once.
Of course, that's "Lilo & Stitch" I'm talking about.
you know, so I could eat pizza with Lilo and Nani in a scene in the movie -
a scene I know from my familiarity with this little monster story -
and the only way I know to pre-order food is to also pre-order the movie.
Got it?
I knew I wanted this movie to accompany my second viewing of "Stitch Head", so then I would have a grand theme for my first Tina Tuesday of November.
Both have the word "Stitch" in their titles - check!
Both have monsters/aliens in them that scare "normal" people, but then charm them - check!
Both have singing and dancing - check!
Both have dogs - check!
Both have animation and both came out this year - check!
That made them as perfect as a pair could be.
Then I thought to see another pair of movies that AMC was offering as a single A*List selection...
two that were both psychological thrillers...
two that were both foreign-made...
and so I took them up on that offer!
"Vincent Must Die" came out in 2023 and was very well made, even if the title is a bit misleading.
It isn't just 'Vincent' who gets attacked when he catches the eyes of some strangers, but also people like him who call themselves 'Sentinels' and try to steer clear of society.
But is the viciousness transmittable to others?
That gave it a science-fiction flair that I truly enjoyed!
The other film in the 2-for-1 package was "Hallow Road", which starred Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys was parents called to come to the rescue of their teen daughter when she calls in the wee hours.
The problem is, the girl claims to have run over another girl in the woods.
But, did she?
It was a parent's worst nightmare, with quite a twist at the end.
Good science fiction!!!
That made a total of four movies on Tina Tuesday - wow!
As for that first "Stitch Head", that was seen on Halloween.
And I was supposed to see the 40th anniversary showing of "Back To The Future" this afternoon with Carolyn, but she was sick.
I'd already reserved the ticket online so I went...
but the little plastic grommet that held the two pieces of my new shift cable together chose to disintegrate shortly after I got off Truman Parkway...
leaving my car in second gear...
so I'd managed to coax my Saturn to Rincon Transmission on Mall...
as I knew they did not close until 5 PM...
where they had immediately verified the problem and rectified it by judicious use of a little metal circlet to rejoin the shifter cable pieces...
and I'd chosen to go home rather than to a movie I was an hour late for.
Good choice.
i thank You, God.
