A Senior Moment

[grnvixen]

So I go online to preorder tickets for SW3 and notice a senior discount. And realize I could probably have qualified (AARP has been after me for 2+years!). Whoa! That took me back. Of course the fact that I could even preorder the tickets online, or buy them ahead of time at the box office, is miles ahead of what we went through for the first movie. It was only showing on one screen in town (and did so for over 3 months), you stood inline for the ticket, which they didn't sell until after the preceeding show had started and/or sold out (hoping you and all your friends would get the same showing), then you stood in a packed mob to be ready for the mad dash for the best seats when they finally cleared out theater from the previous show. We probably spent more time on our feet that actually sitting in the theater.

This time I'm old enough not to feel the urge to *have* to see SW3 today, but I can't let the whole weekend go without seeing it :).

The Cinemark over by us is showing it on 6 screens. We figure sunday morning is a good time to catch it with a light crowd :), altho when I talked to the office today they said they were not sold out on any showings yet.

I haven't been to worried about spoilers, I mean we know basicly what is going to happen :).

I'd really like to see this in the theater, anyone have a Clones DVD they can loan me first? (runs before the barrage of action figures still in the box can hit me)
