Re: OT: Check your local theaters for Sicko

[Guest guest]

It may be a " line " she's been told to say.

I tried to go see it when a friend was here but it was only being

shown in two theatres. The most convenient one to go to, an AMC

movie theatre had only one showing a day, at noon! Other than that

the only theatre showing it during the day and at night was a local

independent theatre on the nearby university campus which has

limited parking as the area is mainly 'walking friendly', as the

students can get there on foot and otherwise the parking areas

around campus are crowded so we didn't go there. Since we were

going out at night, so we saw Hairspray instead, so I have not seen

it. It was odd that an award winning adult movie was only shown at a

matinee hour.

Checking today, SICKO website invites you to put in zipcode to find

where it is playing: http://www.sickotix.com/

It listed 4 theatres it was playing at but when I went to theatres

it listed, it was not showing. The only theatre that was showing it

in the evening, and 4 times a day, at the university, last showing

was August 15th but then the university is not all that large.

I also went to MovieTickets.com and could not find it showing

anywhere around here now.

So apparently it showed for 6 weeks at the university theatre where

it was showing 4 times a day but gone from major theatres now where

it was showing as a matinee movie only 4 weeks out. At least that

was all I could find. I don't go to the movies that often so I

don't know if one month is common or not, but certainly thought it

was odd that an award winning adult movie was only showing as a

matinee.

It sounds like theater owners are being pressured not to show Sicko by some

powerful entity....

Maybe their health insurers?

In any case, I think that it sounds disturbingly like what happens with mold

illness... (them telling us it doesn't exist when we are sick with it and we

KNOW it does.)

I just found a link here in Massachusetts that lists all theatres, there is

no listing for Sicko playing anywhere in this state. Hmm..looks like your on

to something here K.C.

[Guest guest]

Barb,

Sorry I didn't see this earlier but if I did I wouldn't have checked this

out. I searched under Massachusetts

Theatres, came up with this link _http://www.findthefun.com/lists/vxMA48.htm_

(http://www.findthefun.com/lists/vxMA48.htm) when you click on movies,

select S for movies beginning with S. Sicko does not come up at all.

Strange??

You know, its quite possible that Sicko's first run has ended and that

almost everyone in Mass. who wanted to see Sicko in theatres has already. I

know that most of my friends who went to see it did a long time ago. Its

been out for QUITE some time now.

Theatres keep films running based on their ability to fill theatres.

Theatres are businesses and there are newer films that they want to show.

Big multiplex cinemas and 'art houses' often keep special interest films

like 's films running longer but they aren't that common. I

don't know.

But its a good possibility that most of the people who have not seen it by

now may simply be waiting for the DVD/videotape release.
