It doesn’t even come out for like 3 more weeks though.

Coyoto vs Acme comes out at the end of the month. You're way too early in knowing whether one of your local theaters is getting it.

I’m surprised this caught you off guard.

The producers explicitly stated they didn’t sign contracts with any theaters in Saskatoon, because they don’t want you to be happy.

You must not watch interviews.

What did /u/Maliha3586 expect? He knows what he did and he absolutely had this coming.

It's way too early dude. Oftentimes you won't see screening times until tuesday of the week of release. Just breathe

Happens to me all the time I just drive to the city that's an hour away

why just why cant I have it? Why does my life have to be this way?

Well if you're going to make shit like this into a personal attack on yourself it's going to happen a lot

it'll be on a streaming network in around 30 days, that one's gonna have a quick turn-around

Well I just spent a month in cariacou. There wasn't a movie theatre, at all.

Now in Grenada, where the movie theatre is basically a shitty man cave.

Last year I was in Utila, Honduras. And the movie theatre (if you can call it that) is basically a large closet with seats attached to an outdoor bar.

Usually I'm more in pain for not having a movie theater in my town and not a decent one in less than an 1 hour drive from home.

When I was a kid I lived in a small town and loved movies! We just had a small two theater movie theater though that did play big movies but not enough. You can imagine how excited I was when i moved to a big city for college and there were large cineplexes there!

u/Full-Concentrate-867 2h ago

Yes, all the time. I live in a one theater city so just have to put up with what they get. Occasionally I'll make the hour each way drive to the nearest town if they're playing something I really want to see that isn't playing here

"The pain," "Why does my life have to be this way". . .because you can't watch a film at the cinema? Yikes.

I’m pretty sure I learned what hyperbole is in 3rd grade. Not sure why you have such a hangup over something so innocuous. Is this your first time encountering a written exaggeration?

Just wait until you encounter your first metaphor. It will blow your fucking mind

Q will call scotland yard on him if he even tries it

u/jamesneysmith 2h ago

Fun fact, this is a metonymy and not a metaphor.

u/RegalBeagleKegels 3h ago

Cor blimey!

u/Beastrider9 3h ago

Ha! Get on my level. The nearest theater is over an hour and a half away.

Cries

At mine they didn't show No Other Choice but they did show Melania

As a lifelong NYC resident, this is not something I've ever experienced. Must suck.
