Seems a few places around me have some shows tonight, and I don't mean at midnight. My "home" theatre has one showing at 10:30pm, and then another one pretty close has one at 10:30pm and 12:01am.

So yah I'm going to see it tonight, pretty excited about it :)

EDIT

So yah, this movie kicked complete ass! It was SSSSSOOOOOO different than the second one. While it had it's touch of gadgets and stuff that doesn't seem too plausible, it still felt "realistic" in the sense that 24 seems realistic, except you never really saw him do anything unbelievable with a pistol in this movie (like take out a helicopter with 1 pistol shot like jack bauer). It didn't have any of that over the top unbelievable stuff that John Woo threw all over the place in MI2.

The villian was a badass in this movie too. He was just a very straight up asshole who didn't fvck around. This movie has action from the very beginning to the very end, non stop.

I definitely recommend this movie, DEFINITELY the best one in the series (if that's saying much :p).

I have a free advanced ticket for two for tonight as well. Show time is 7PM (which is NOW)

I'm throwing it away because everyone tonight is busy :(

When did they start showing movies before 12AM on the day they open, but ending after 12AM?

Is that something new? I had no clue about this, I was going to see United 93 after survivor and was looking for times, and saw MI3 playing tonight so I was like "WOAH" and got a ticket for my gf and I.

This is a renter. Looks like another 2 hours of totally preposterous stunts and ponitless explosions. Yet another writer/director who never saw the original show.

If you live near major cities (I'm close to Boston)

They give away free advanced screening for virtually every new release. They're first come first serve so all you have to do is show up about 30-45 mins before the showtime.

I believe they do it to release awareness for relatively unknown movies and raise popularity so that when the real release date comes on the weekend, more people are opted to see it (via word of mouth)

Of course free screening is usually on Mon - Thursdays. Tuesdays being most common in my experience.

The past movies I've seen have been free:
V for Vendetta (on IMAX big screen)
Thank you for Smoking
Just Friends
That movie with Denzel and Jodie.. Inside Man?
etc...

college campus, they literally hand them out.

my boss had the tickets for V for Vendetta. He had so many tickets, he gave me like 10.

But remember, they're first come first serve. So tickets really don't mean anything (altough you have to have it)

I don't remember his name, but the first time I saw "the bad guy" was in Magnolia as a wimpering nurse, so he doesn't really seem to fit the part.

He was a great bad guy in punch drunk love, and hes played the insane creepy guy perfectly in a few movies.

Wanted to, but none of my friends will go. Luckily I've got Chinatown coming from Netflix tomorrow so I'll have something to watch.
