Friday Afternoon Entertainment

Let's face it, we all hate working on Friday afternoons. I'd gladly work longer and harder during the other 4 days of the week, just ot avoid working Friday afternoon, but alas, I'm not currently afforded that situation. That being said, here's a good way to waste a few minutes of your day. Cute Roulette. Ok, it's kind of dumb, but just watch snips of a few videos. I'm not saying it will entertain you all afternoon, but it'll tick a few minutes off the clock. You're welcome.

Getting Ready for the Oscars

Each year, AMC hosts a Best Picture Showcase that allows moviegoers to buy one ticket, sit in one seat, get a free large popcorn (with refills, of course) and see all the Academy Award Best Picture nominees. Since there are 10 films this year, AMC is splitting the event into two Saturdays: Feb. 27 and March 6.

Both schedules on both days start at 10:30 a.m., with doors opening at the theatre at 9 a.m. on the event days. A two-day pass is $60 online or $50 at the box office. A one-day pass for either Feb. 27 or March 6 is $30 both online and at the box office. (If you’re a member of the AMC MovieWatcher program, the two-day pass is $40 and the one-day pass is $25.) The event has been known to sell out, so buying your pass early might be a good idea. Also, if you only need to see one of the nominated films, theaters will be able to sell individual movie tickets for all shows starting at noon on the day of the event.

If you can’t make it to the event at all, you can follow the conversation on Facebook at facebook.com/amctheatres or on Twitter using the AMC-designated hashtag: #amcbps.
