One Day | Every Oscar Nominee | $30

I'm usually the first to slag the large theater chains for their lack of creativity in programming. As such, I feel compelled to point out when they actually make a good decision. In this case, AMC is doing something so obviously cool that I can't believe it isn't done every year (maybe it will be going forward). This Saturday, several AMC theaters in the Southland will be hosting a marathon of this year's Best Picture Nominees. For only $30 (including a free large popcorn and unlimited free re-fills) you can see Michael Clayton, There Will Be Blood, Atonement, Juno and No Country for Old Men. Click here for all the details.

The only one I haven't seen is Michael Clayton. Sounds interesting, but 12 hours? With popcorn and soda as your only food? It'd be better if it was spread out over the weekend.

At least you can go in and out of the theater by just showing your pass. So go out, get real food, take a break and then go back in for your favorite scene or whatever.

I'll be at the Covina AMC. I've seen all five, but I wouldn't mind seeing them again--except maybe Juno.

Regal started this up earlier in the year... although there is something to be said for the fact that you'd be holed up in a theater for upwards of 13+ hours... Holy crap
