The Unveiling of $1 Movie Night...

It's no secret that entertainment in Tucson is pretty reasonably priced. On any given night on 4th Ave, one could get a pint of glorious High Life for $1, a well drink for $2, and a friendly game of air hockey for 75 cents. But what if you want to relax inside a dark, slightly slanted, air-conditioned room, while watching a movie and consuming a giant pickle???

Tucsonans-- you are officially in luck!

The cheap movie theater, "Crossroads", (which lives behind the Bed, Bath, and Beyond at the corner of Grant and Swan) has now started $1 Tuesdays. That's right. One dollar. Any movie. Any showing. Every Tuesday.

We think this is rad.

Unfortunately, last week at dollar movie Tuesday, we saw the most horrible movie either of us have seen in a good long time. "There Will Be Blood" was two and a half hours of pure hell. We almost walked out, and we're not exactly sure why we didn't. Maybe we were suffering from the trauma of watching awful crazy people doing weird shit. Though Kristin is quoted as saying, "Whoever wrote the screenplay should be hurt," after giving ourselves some emotional distance from the affore-mentioned film, we discourage any sort of physical harm. But put it this way--if this movie was sitting on the curbside for Brush and Bulky, we wouldn't even stop. We might even run it over.

Love,

your neighborhood trashpickers and film snobs

(p.s. anyone want to see "In Bruges" on Tuesday at 8 pm?)
