There was a time as a kid when going to a movie in the theater was an event.  As time went on, high school turned that into such a common experience that it lost the magic.  Less time, more netflix, and an abismal selection of quality movies has returned the theater to a noteworthy experience.  So it was this Friday night that I ventured out.  I must say its been a while.

The first sign that its been a while since I’ve bee nto a movie was the three seperate occasions in which I was warned to silence my cell phone.  Really?  Have we become so desensitized to the warning that we have to be told three times?  The real kickere was the last warning.  It went on for a full two minutes.  I couldn’t beleive that if people hadn’t turned it off in the first minute, that the second minute would somehow convince them.

Second sign that I don’t make it to the theater too often was a preview for Austraila.  that preview went on for a full five minutes and I don’t have a clue what that movie is about.

Finally, and probably the most shocking, there is a new Star Wars Movie?  Really?  How did I miss that?  I feel somehow less of a legitimate geek for not knowing that.   I’m really at a loss on that one.

On the flip side, I’ve got tickets to see the Dark Knight in IMAX.  Thats a theater experience worth gettting excited about.
