Overkill.

I'm planning to go to the movies Friday. I've just checked to see what's on.

The Hobbit.

At five out of six cinemas I have checked, the only film they appear to be showing is the Hobbit. That's probably thirty five screens.

Is it just me that thinks this is slightly over the top? Isn't competition meant to to mean choice?

I guess I'll be going to the Filmhouse, then. At least they're showing "It's A Wonderful Life"...!

(It is possible that the other cinemas haven't yet finalised their programme for Friday. But this doesn't seem likely. Perhaps they are holding off until they've seen the bookings for the Hobbit.)

I was at the cinema on Sunday. We went to see the Madagascar Penguins. Very funny.

There seemed to be lots of things, other than the Hobbit about to be released.

Someone over on FB has suggested that they will probably publish the new schedule for the week from Friday on Wednesday, and it is just that they KNOW they'll be showing the Hobbit that means it's in their plans. That just seems a bit late to me...

The Penguins are on my list, as is Paddington...

Penguins very enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to Paddington.
