Well, since there's little open past 10 in this backwater redneck town, you may well be right. I went to a matinee, the 2, but the parking lot was quite full...the J&SBSB theater wasn't.
Maybe it'll be different...I'm going back today at 2.

: Jeez! I thought that the Parkway would've been packed. I figured I'd hit the Showplace, and if it was sold out, then I could have swung by the later shows after 10pm at the Parkway.
: I guess conservative Springfield must have all gone to bed by 9pm last night?

: : : : I went to see J&SBSB last night. It opened on three screens here in Springfield, Illinois (which shocked me a little, as Dogma opened on one).
: : : : Well, there ARE three screens playing the movie, but when I went last night there were only 13 people in the movie theater (counting me and my girlfriend).
: : : : Of those 13, only 3 were laughing through most of the movie (me, my girlfriend, and some fan-boy near the front row). Everyone else was fairly silent.
: : : : But at least I got to see the end credits this time.
: : : : While I wasn't going to go back today, I will support Kev with my extra $7 and go see it again today.
: : : : Hope more people are there too :)(and laughing)

: : Nope. I WAS at Parkway.
