They said we can get our seat tickets like 4 hours early so thats what I will do next time. Im not sure if this is a good place for this post or not.
note: when I do a search I do 50 miles. I know something is messed up because when I do 20 miles it wont pick out the theater that is right down the stree but will pick out ones downtown (im not down town).
I'm in the process of re-watching all the Star Wars movies, and for last night it was the original Star Wars film from 1977:
Star Wars (1977) - IMDb
While it's still a good movie, it is definitely showing some signs of its age when it comes to special effects.
Well Star Wars is 35 years old so I guess in the special effects industry it's nearly pre-historic. Despite that making me feel old, I still remember the sense of wonder when the Star Destroyer went overhead. Nothing like it had been seen before and <grumpy old man mode engaged> now-a-days we have better effects in commercials.
Very true... it's hard to believe that many of the spectacular special effects that we are using these days will also very likely look old and weak in another 20 to 40 years.Quote:

if you're including 3D, then please leave me in the cinematic stone ages. I am a thoroughly two dimensional movie goer.Quote:
