Hi! I'm going to visit some friends up in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, and we were thinking about going to see a movie.

Do you need movie ideas, or do you have an idea already?
user
Are they showing any that won an Oscar? We all were pumped about watching the Academy Awards the other night.

They are still running 1917 and Jojo Rabbit, and they have brought back Parasite for special screenings since it won the award for Best Picture.

They brought back Parasite? Are any showings not sold out? It would be awesome if we could see that.

There are numerous showings available on Saturday. Most are in the early afternoon or the late night. Do you have a specific time you'd like to go?

I'm driving up early, so I can do early afternoon, but I have to drive back the next day, so nothing too late.

Alright. Shall I start listing options, or would you like to pick a more specific time frame for me to look for?
user
Anything from one to two would probably be best, but if there's something later, like three in the afternoon, I can work with that too. Just nothing at dinnertime or after.

Hmm, I have no idea where either of those are, but I'm more familiar with AMC theaters than Landmarks. Let's tentatively say the AMC.

How close are they to being sold out?
assistant
Over three-quarters of the seats are still available.
user
Then let's actually hold off on buying them right now. I want to check with my friends and see if the theater location is good for them.
assistant
Alright. I'll postpone buying the tickets and save the details for later.
user
Thanks. I'll get back to you as soon as I talk to them.
assistant
I'm always available.
