I was looking for the old post I had made about the smell of my muses, and I could not resist poking the haiku generator.... hmmmm now who could this message be for?

I quite liked Flight Plan - though more Bean would not have come amiss. Jim liked the credits at the end best (it's an engineer thing) and only briefly broke in to tell me what was wrong with the plane design.

He's quite famous in the family for those moments. (My favorite being in Romancing The Stone, when they fall through the jungle into the plane - and everyone in the theater gasps or squeals - and Jim exclaims: "Good lord, a DC-3!")



in a way, the very casting of Bean as the pilot was a brilliant red herring - people are so used to him being the bad guy, it helps them jump to that conclusion with very little prodding.

I like movies, I just don't like any of the theaters here. Actually, what I don't like is people (at least not in large groups) Chris could do three or four theater movies a day easily, though. We did the Trilogy Tuesday for RotK - (I'm sure you were glad to miss that! But it did turn out to be great)

I'm usually happy to wait for dvd, especially since we can usually buy the movie for what it would cost us to go out, and then I have the screen caps! Yay!

Jim and I have a local theater that has date night on Tuesdays - 4.50 for the movie, and if you go to the late show, I have never had more than 10 people in the theater with us. Works out well.


The theater on Sunday was filled (as it always is at that time) with Senior Citizens asking questions about missed dialog and having loud conversations. Gah.

We'll be doing an opening day for Serenity on Friday, but we're aiming for the earliest show, so it should not be crowded.

My best friend and her husband had such a horrible experience in the theatre when they saw "The Two Towers" that they didn't go for RotK. People were talking and complaining about how long it was. They didn't know who the characters were, and so on. Besides which, her husband is six foot six inches tall, and it's physically uncomfortable for him in most public places. They had to sit too close to the screen and things like that--then people complain because he's sitting in front of them. Even with tiered seating, it's awkward.

The date night thing sounds like a good idea. It gets people to the theatre on a usually not-busy night and is way cheap, too. Too right about it being cheapter to wait for it to come out on video/DVD. With two of you, it will be cheaper to wait almost every time.
