Hi! I wanted to get a few movie tickets for later in the week.
Okay. Do you have plans for a certain day, or is your schedule open?
I'm hoping for something on Thursday when we're all free after work for the day here in Albuquerque.
And what movie are you interested in?
I don't really have one planned yet. Any suggestions? We go to the movies a lot, so we want something pretty new.
The newest releases in theaters now are Sonic the Hedgehog, Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, The Photograph, Brahms: The Boy II, and Fantasy Island.
Okay, I've heard of a few of those. If any are horror movies, forget about them.
That leaves Sonic the Hedgehog, Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, and The Photograph. Would you like to know more about any of those?
I get the gist of the first two from the titles, but what's the third one?
The Photograph is a drama romance about a woman who discovers a photograph among her deceased mother's possessions, and it kindles a relationship with a photojournalist.
Considering I'm going with my two big brothers, I think I need to steer clear of the romance. I'd like to see Harley, but my oldest brother refuses to watch R-rated movies in theaters, so it looks like we're going for Sonic!
Alright. May I give you a list of showtimes, or do you have a specific time frame I should use to narrow it down?
My middle brother gets off work at 5:30 in the afternoon, but my oldest brother has to be home to put my nephew to sleep by 8:30, so I need a 6:00 or 6:30 showing.
There are four theaters showing Sonic the Hedgehog at 6:00 or 6:30 PM tomorrow. Your choices are an RPX showing at the Regal Winrock, or a standard showing at the Flix Brewhouse, Regal UA Cottonwood, or Rio Rancho Premiere 14.
I can't do the RPX, since my older brother won't pay extra for it. What's the Flix?
The Flix Brewhouse is a 6:30 showing. They serve beer and wine during movies.
No can do. My oldest brother is a teetotaler. He wouldn't stand for it.
Then you have either the 6:00 at the Regal UA Cottonwood or the 6:00 at the Rio Rancho Premiere left to choose from.
The Rio Rancho is practically on the other side of the city. I'm not sure my middle brother could get there in time after work.
Would you like tickets at the Regal UA Cottonwood then? There are seats available at the 6:00 PM showing.
How long is Sonic the Hedgehog again?
It runs for one hour and forty minutes.
So an hour and forty, plus maybe fifteen or twenty for the ads and trailers. That would take it to two hours, plus extra if it doesn't start right on time. I don't know if we could make it all the way to the Cottonwood Mall where that theater is and still have my oldest brother get home on time. I was really hoping for something closer. Sorry, I guess I'd better cancel the movie idea.
Sorry to hear it. Let me know if your situation changes.
