Maybe we got lucky because so many folks were burned out from the Black
Friday weekend. I'd say there was 15 people in the theatre we went to.
There was one goof who was talking, but I don't think it was on the
phone, they were talking to the person they came with. Even that was
short-lived because I think the movie held onto them pretty tight.

Someone after my own heart! Loved 'em.

Long time ago I went to see a movie in the early afternoon. I was the only
person in the theatre so I had my choice of seats. I picked the perfect
one. A few minutes before the film begain a couple came in and sat down
right in front of me. I moved to the second best seat in the house. They
moved to sit in front of me. I moved again. The movie started, another
person came in and everybody stayed where they were.

At the time I just thought it was weird. After reading the rant I'm
thinking maybe there are people out there who actually get their jollies
doing things like that. Sad.

I often enjoy movies at 5 pm. There are limited crowds because the
matinee folks have taken the kidlets home and the evening crowds haven't
begun to party yet. I've been in some pretty empty theaters and really
enjoyed it. Especially when it's a scary movie.

Last night my son and I saw The Mist! Wow. I do NOT want to see the
dreams of the folk that designed those things...... No plot spoilers,
but imnsho, it was well worth the price of admission!

I'm looking forward to it, though I'm going to have to wait until it
warms up a bit. We're having a bit of a cold snap here, just hanging on
till the next chinook.

It may not stay in theaters long - we went at 7:30 on a Friday night and
there were less than 35 people in there.

Nope, it didn't do it for me. I guess I loved the book too much and there
wasn't enough time for character development. Didn't like the ending. Oh,
well.

It's out!!! And it's GOOD! At first I was thinking that it was a lot
like Maximum Overdrive, but the end had me sitting there with my mouth
open, not being able to get up to shut it off! Totally awesome! He
outdid himself with endings on this one!
