Stupid Omaha

Both the wife and I are taking the next couple of days off from work, and one thing we thought we’d do, was go to the movies. Grandma is still here, so she can watch the gimpy boys while we pretend we don’t have a child. We wanted to go see Brokeback Mountain, but forgot momentarily that we live in Omaha. City of 650,000. City of eleven movie theaters and 107 screens. Of course, Brokeback Mountain is not playing in Omaha.

Stupid city.

In the interest of fairness, I do have to point out that it isn’t playing in Iowa City, IA, either, but that town has only three theaters and 24 screens. I could forgive them (though only a little, being a progressive college town and all).
