  1. I don't get it by houghi · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When I want to see a movie, I wait at least a few weeks before I can see it, so the theater is almost empty.

    Nothing better then seeing LotR in a big theater when there are only 5 people in it. Nobody is kicking mty chair, nobody is asking stupid questions and nobody comes in late.

    Yes, I go alone to the movies. I want to see the movie, so I do not give a rats ass if I know the person who sits next to me.

    ...to the guys lining up at the wrong theatre? Did they get a showing?

    It just dawned on my that many of you weren't even alive when the first movie came out, including a lot of those standing in line. 2nd generation of line people. The only thing I remember clearly about the first movie is the first hyperdrive jump. A whole theater full of people went "wow" all at once. That was one of my personal all time classic movie moments.

    Another one was Carrie Fisher in the slave costume in Return of the Jedi.

    Hard to believe Mark Hamill is in his late 50's with kids of his own. He's done well as an actor.

    Lucas came out pretty well, too, with a personal worth of around 3bn. I could live on that. :)
