Off I went to www.regmovies.com, the home page for the only major movie provider in my region, Regal Cinemas. I happily clicked on the link to the movie, watched the trailer with some friends, and entered my zip code to get the movie times in my area...
......And Regal thinks everyone wants to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
Regal Cinemas has a bad habit of not playing anything but the the most inane, simple-minded crap produced. I remember when Larry the Cable Guy played for almost two months here, but in the meantime quality films and documentaries fell by the way-side.
And here we go again with Religulous. I have heard a lot of people talking about this film, wanting to see it, and having no alternative but to drive an hour or more to the nearest theater with an open mind.
To be fair, I called Regal and asked about the film. Of course, the little Albanians with their feeble minds couldn't even figure out what film I was talking about. And then, when they did finally get their only two brain cells to connect, they said, "I don't know."
Maybe this back-water conservative town just can't handle a different view-point, or at least one they probably don't agree with. The people made fun of in Religulous are probably the type of people that live in this town and manage the local theater.
I think it's time to move.

watch out for elitism!
anyhoo, i'm sure you've read The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins, but Another good book along similar lines is A Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. Oh, and another book i've been hogging from The Valley Library, The Counter-Creationism handbook by Mark Isaak is kick-booty. Yes, kick-booty is a real term.
