When I went to see 300 on opening day the theater was only partially full (it was a noon showing). But sure enough, right when the blood spattered movie title sprang across the screen a baby started wailing! What? A baby? Someone brought a baby, literally an infant, with them to 300. Oh thanks buddy. The rest of us weren’t really interested in seeing it, just more of wanted to hang out and catch up with friends. You go ahead. You and your screaming baby go ahead and watch the movie.
So this Friday when I go to see Spider-Man 3 there have better not be any babies or cell phones, or babies with cell phones, or cell phones with ringtones that sound like babies!
To illustrate this point, here’s a great video clip that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences showed before their special screening of Star Wars as part of their Great to Be Nominated series.

You’re waiting until tomorrow to see Spider Man 3? Go to a Midnight showing!

Well now I’m thinking of going to see it in an IMAX theater. Our local Air & Space museum has an IMAX, but they didn’t usually do feature films. Since Spidey 3 is PG-13 they were willing to show it.
But my hang up is that between the higher ticket price and parking fee at the museum it’ll be $32 for my wife and I to go there. Or we could just go to a Friday matinée at the regular theater for $10 total.
I’m kinda cheap these days, so this is a tough call.
