I know exactly how you feel (or felt when you published this comic). No, I haven’t seen Juno, but I already own it and I think I can watch it around New Year’s (that many unwatched movies I own that it isn’t Juno’s turn very soon), but I know that movie thing. In Finland I happen to live in semi-small city named Pori, which movie theater shows mostly the blockbusters and that it is and when I see they’re showing films something like El Secreto de sus ojos (foreign Oscar winner this year), I am really surprised. Right now I’m waiting to see Four Lions, but does it come to Pori’s cinema? NOOO, it has been shown only in few biggest city in Finland so far and that almost it. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think it will ever come here or if it does, only for one show in Pori’s small “movie club” and that is probably not until next fall! Yippee! I’m not originally from here and there is a lot I don’t like in this city, but the crappy movie supplys are the worst thing, ’cause I am something like movie lover. Thus, I have travelled few times couple hours to get to the second largest city in Finland just to see movies, which haven’t been coming soon enough (or never) to Pori (at least Scar 3D (I only went to see this, because it was the first 3D horror film shown in Finland (with the new 3D technics, of course), so I was interested about it and Pori’s movie theater had no 3D back then) and the new A Nightmare on Elm Street (I’m huge fan of Elm Street -series and I had waited and waited that movie and when it finally was released in Finland, it didn’t come in Pori not until a month later and I was too eager to see it that I couldn’t wait). Of course, Pori’s movie theater (which is owned by domestic monopoly-like movie theater company) has to look the wider picture (sic!) and really predict what really sells here (for example they showed Inland Empire for a week in here and the time I went to see it, I was the only one there (I felt like a king 😀 )), but it also means that the movie freaks like me aren’t satisfied, but… oh well! Life goes on and so does the movie business!
