Since this is Waay OT I can ramble a bit by way of preamble... In the rest of the world Yahoo! Movies does a nice job of tying together all the film times for all the films showing at local cinemas (or any selected locality). When I moved to New Zealand I was disappointed to find that such a feature was not available here (it's sort of available in Oz, but not quite). Why must I visit each cinema's website to get the films and the times, and then mentally try to parse the different display formats to work out the optimum choice for any given film/time/location constraint? Anyway, three years of frustration[1] boiled over and I resolved to do it myself. In a serendiptious moment I encountered a website in Wellington, where someone had done exactly what I was hoping to do, so, in the spirit of open source I asked if he would extend it to Christchurch, with any assistance I could offer.
With the caveat that it is not exhaustively tested, and should not be relied upon, I am pleased to announce that it is done! http://noremote.co.nz/ Click on the Christchurch tab at the top. If you're still reading and not clicking gleefully on the link I shall go on to say that whilst I am sure this would have been a fun project I am glad I didn't have to do it, as, er, it would have taken a while in between all the other important demands on my time =;^) Please direct any comments to the webmaster via the 'email us' link. If the colloquial cinema names are wrong, blame me. Thanks, Andy -- [1] Actually, it was mild annoyance
