I’d like to go see it at the nearest AMC but every time I go the only parking is in the red zone. And there’s no stopping in the red zone. ---

Don’t start in with that red zone shit again. You know it’s the only sensible place to park. ---

Hrmph. I could go see it, yes, but it’s at a theater an hour away. I was at first irked that it wasn’t at any of the Drafthouses in town before I realized it was an AMC thing. I may catch Airplane, or I may go to Robocop with live explosions and complimentary cap pistols. And beer. 🙂 ---
