Boooooo!

Now that things have settled down, I have a chance to get to the theater to see Captain America. Unfortunately, a few of the city theaters are already pulling it or reducing the number of showtimes, which makes it difficult to fit into a schedule (especially if they say they have a 9:50 showtime on their automated recording only to find out at 6:30 when you get there that 4:40 was their actual last show for the day.)

I've been gone a lot since it was released, but I was pretty confident it hadn't come to the Cass Theater yet. But when the poster showed Smurfs as the next show after this weeks Cowboys and Aliens, I started to wonder. (No way does he show "CA" Friday, Sept. 2...six weeks after it was released.) So, I called the theater last night and asked when it was coming. It's not. BOOOOOOO! How do you not have a way to fit Captain America into your summer rotation?

Despite the demographic challenges of the Cass Theater, I'm surprised Captain America would be passed on completely. Perhaps the terms to get it early enough to be worthwhile were too unfavorable?

It is tougher when you have Cars 2, Transformers, Harry Potter, Cowboys and Aliens, and Smurfs that all have to fit at some point on one screen.
