But there is definately better about seeing some movies on a big screen. <BR/>"The Wall" is definately better on the big screen, so is "Jaws". A couple of weeks ago, I convinced a bunch of the youngin's I work with to go see "The Blues Brothers" on the bigs screen (Special showing for 25th anniversary). Some having never seen the movie before (verry scary) liked it. Those who had only seen it on TBS, thought it was better on the big screen. My biggest pet peeves are <BR/>1. No beer in most regular theatres here and I'm getting a little old to smuggle in a sixer and I always forget about my flask.<BR/>2. The Ginormous size of the popcorn and soda - This is part of "the man's" great conspiracy. The popcorn is very salty , so you gotta drink this vat of soda, then ya gotta pee, miss part of the movie, then ya gotta go see the movie again to see the parts that you missed.<BR/>3. People who ask "What did they say" or "What's gonna Happen" - shut up and watch the damn movie.<BR/>4. The Twenty - I gotta agree, who ever came up with this craptastic idea should reside in at least the 7th ring of hellAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460854473486430626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11201829.post-1127187030303191272005-09-19T20:30:00.000-07:002005-09-19T20:30:00.000-07:00I'm with you Super T.

We get free cable because the man works for the cable company. It's hard to justify paying for anything when we get every frickin' movie channel in the universe.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033383205096310260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11201829.post-1127140231579502532005-09-19T07:30:00.000-07:002005-09-19T07:30:00.000-07:00My Rev sister is ON FIRE! Here's the worst part. ...My Rev sister is ON FIRE! <BR/><BR/>Here's the worst part. I am at the movies. I want to forget about things, mostly WORK. So the theaters are now advertising to "us" that corporations should hold their corporate monkey meetings in Movie Theaters! Wheeeee, "you'd be soo dang cool _________ corporation, if you did this."<BR/><BR/>GREAT. And I hate the "Twenty" with a passion. I don't know if you guys have that, I'm sure you do...it's that poor man's Entertainment Tonight that they load up with commercials and show you before the film. I HATE IT.<BR/><BR/>If I have to get there early, I'd rather bring a book. That's what I used to do before the commercial playing started.ZooooMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354464002786903244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11201829.post-1127070841584193892005-09-18T12:14:00.000-07:002005-09-18T12:14:00.000-07:00I have to concur about the whole racket of seeing ...I have to concur about the whole racket of seeing a movie in the theaters anymore. You might as well prepare to participate in a blood sacrifice at some point between the box office and the opening credits, everything is so freaking expensive. Not to mention the absolute ABSENCE of any kind of courtesy, customer service, or facsimile thereof. It's such a huge joke. AND THE COMMERCIALS. Did I miss a meeting? I certainly missed a memo, because last time I checked, the LAST place I want to see a freaking commercial is at the movie theater. Don't try to sell me any more Coke with the updated jingle (I'd like teach the world to chill?) --- I'm already a die-hard Coke (the typo on that word was so funny, and I almost didn't correct it, but no one needs an accidentally NC-17-rated rant from Rev. Brandy who clearly has things OTHER than Coke on her mind!) fan. And I don't play videogames more sophisticated than Ms. Pac Man. I don't have a PlayStation or any of that shit; I don't want to see ads for new videogames. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you liked the movie. I really wanted to see it, too, and even thought about trying to see it this weekend, but I have too many weddings to write . . . and I'm still recovering from "Million Dollar Baby."
