Something I never do

Well, rarely at least. I'm going to see a movie/film tonight. Work rang to cancel my shift, so I've got a free evening. Now, due to the wonders of modern technology, I usually wait for movies to come out on DVD or I wait to take an overseas flight. But heck, I used to project movies in university, on Friday nights. I like to see a film in big overwhelming colour and sound. My standard seat back then was third row from the front, dead center. You know, I never knew that Luke could actually see the burned bodies of his family when he returned to his Uncle's house until I was in university, because I'd always seen Star Wars on a teeny tiny screen. So there are definite advantages to a big screen.

But I also balk at paying a lot to see a movie. However, I love Science Fiction, particularly the not-quite-so-Hollywoody versions lets do something more than just shoot lots of people. So I'm striking out, I'm going to see Moon. And since this is England, I'm hoping that means I get to have a beer with my movie. Woo!

Edited: I had a link to the trailer on youtube, but that one was removed. So you'll have to google it yourself. It's definitely a good movie, not sure if you really need a giant screen for it, but a decent-sized screen would be nice. I went to a Vue cinema. I did not find beer. I did find the 2nd row to be optimal for viewing. A small popcorn and coke will set you back 7+ quid, but they are both very big smalls. Barbican, why did you only have one movie on this evening? You have beer though not popcorn.
