Quick update on From Up on Poppy Hill, the newest Studio Ghibli film localized for the U.S., covered in my last post and heading to Consolidated Theaters’ Kahala 8 complex on Friday: As of today, showtimes have finally been posted! Yay! Via Fandango (which I simply can’t read the name of anymore without thinking of this guy), here they are:
Friday and Saturday: 10:40 a.m. and 12:50, 3, 5:10, 7:20 and 9:30 p.m.
Sunday: 10:40 a.m. and 12:50, 3, 5:10 and 7:20 p.m.
Monday through Thursday: 12:45, 3, 5:10 and 7:30 p.m.
That’s 33 showings over seven days. If you’re the type who orders tickets online, have at it. As is customary with these movies, there’s no way of knowing how long a run Poppy Hill will have in Honolulu beyond one week, so seize the moment if/when you can. Oh yeah, and be sure to visit the Barnes & Noble store nearby, too, because who knows how much longer that’s going to be around …

B&N won’t be around much longer. Even my over 60 year old aunt orders most of her books over the internet. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even make enough to do more than pay for the rent.
