working in a movie theatre

So, i work as an assistant manager at a movie theatre. I used to love this job because its decent pay and you can watch all the free movies you want. Now that i've been working here for 5 years (im working right now while i write this) the perk of seeing movies for free does not make the job seem worth it anymore. One, i work so often that i don't often feel like coming in on my day off to see a movie. Two, we get the mainstream studio movies, but we don't get much of the independent movies or foreign movies. Just last Friday we received 21 and superhero movie but we did not get Stop Loss or Run Fat Boy Run (both movies i wanted to see). This happens a lot and i usually end up paying for a lot of the movies i want to see (either at Dedham community theatre, Kendall theatre in cambridge or even my competition Showcase cinemas in Randolph). I don't really know what the point of this blog was, it was just something i was thinking about.

I feel ur pain because i live in Milford and sometimes the movies i want to see are never shown so i have to go all the way to Natick or Framingham to see them. I always wondered why movie theaters do things like that? Who picks out the movies that they think people would want to see?? Its a very interesting thought
