Watch the Five Best Picture Nominees at AMC Theaters

We mentioned this a couple weeks ago, but since the Oscars are upon us, I thought I reminder me be in order. Once again this year, AMC Theaters is giving you the chance to see all five Best Picture nominees right in a row, a day before the ceremony. It's not the option for me; if I watched five movies in one day, I'd probably not want to watch three-and-a-half hours dedicated to their individual and collective greatness the next day. Wouldn't a better option be to spread them out? Just a thought. But AMC gives you the option of knocking out all five of them over the course of 13 hours, if that's your jones. Here's the list of participating theaters, and below is the schedule for Saturday, February 21st. 10:30am - Milk
1:05pm - The Reader
3:45pm - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
7:15pm - Slumdog Millionaire
9:45pm - Frost/Nixon Your $30 ticket will get you a free enormo bucket of popcorn and free refills all day long. That's right: It's not just 13 hours of movies, it's 13 hours of popcorn, too. Enjoy that... Tickets are available at AMCTheaters.com and at any participating theater.

I'd like to see a before and after photo of anyone who tries this...it would look like a commercial for Trim-Spa in reverse!

13 hours of popcorn. Can you imagine?

I'd rather see all of the Star Wars Films, or Extended Lord of the Rings. If the Theater chains want to have special events why don't they show classic films like Citizen Cane, the Godfather, or Vertigo instead of "Night with Yanni" and this crap...

These are films that need to be chewed on and discussed, not consumed like fast food...

It's Citizen Kane...

Oh, like you've never had a type-o Mr. Boyd!

Citezen Cane is pornographic, though I want not to admit how I know that. But I did indeed mean Citizen Kane!

This was a great event. Seat mates on both sides of me were wonderful. Gtown theatre serves tasty chicken fingers. It was the only thing I needed to eat. Gave my special free popcorn bag to someone else.
