    My favorite unused (I think) headline of all time: Pee Wee in Pokey for Pulling Pud Publicly

    Until I get a giant screen TV, there are going to be what I call large-format subject matter movies that just demand to be seen on the theatre screen. Think Jurassic Park. I mean, who wants to see a T-Rex on a 32-inch TV? Anything else, though, I have to think long and hard about shelling out the money, particularly when I know in a couple months I'll be able to get it at Redbox for $1.

    But then again, if you buy the popcorn you can cut the bottom of it out and give your girlfriend a surprise when she reaches in for some popcorn. :)

    No. I've never tried it. Something about scorching hot popcorn and scorching hot butter make it difficult for me to get the courage to go for it.

    That and I don't want to ruin the $5 for the popcorn. I don't want to eat popcorn my dick's been in.

    It also helps if you have your neighborhood version of "hustleman" that sells bootlegs -- so you can watch new movies at your home the day they hit theatres -- we have a good one in our neighborhood and since I am a loyal customer, I get five for $20.....

    Yeah, but not just any hack can do that. It's actually an art form (/Seinfeld)

    OK, that made me laugh. I have never had a sig, but that there might just do it.

    Awesome.

    For the record: I will gladly pay the $11+ to see any film in IMAX format.

    So the tricky part is finding a feature well-accompanied by champagne, but whose coming attractions lean to Michael Bay movies? Hmmm...
