No Movie for Me Tonight

What the hell is wrong with all the theaters out here. I can't see a movie anywhere in the Western 'burbs at 8:00 pm. Everything starts between 7:15 and 7:35, even at the 30 screen megaplex.

Tonight is the 2nd time I have gone to the megaplex at 6:45 to find a tremendous line waiting for tickets. There are no sold out signs, but by the time I got to the window, Walk the Line was sold out, as was everything else I thought about seeing.

I felt like a total loser, especially when I stopped at the grungy miniplex theater near my house to find that everything started already.

What is the big deal with staggering start times?
