I went to the Arclight cinema in Hollywood with my friend Kim yesterday (ROTK viewings = 4). My ticket cost fourteen dollars ($14). Dude, so worth every single cent. The film was playing in what is apparently a historic dome, with a gigantic curved screen. The seats were freakishly comfortable. The sound system was superb; at points, I could feel the bass literally thudding in my chest. They had ushers show you to your seat (assigned seating is the kickass), and then an usher introduced the movie, with cast, running time, and brief synopsis. They had curtains open and close in front of the screen. What was really surprising to me was the size of the crowd: ROTK has been out over a month, and the theater was at least at a seventy-five (75) percent capacity. And well more than half of those people stayed for the credits. Not just the drawings of the cast. The entirety of the credits. People were quiet, there were no cell phones or crying babies or people getting up and down and up and down and up and down, just a group of people watching a movie. Amazing experience.

I love days off. Yay! No class!
