I remember the lines and proudly waiting in them to see something amazing. I would never do so again given what I know about the crap that passes for a movie these days. Even forgetting the number of theatres that do assigned seating, the last movie I (2WTN was there and I bet it was the last time for him as well) lined up for was Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Movie. Between that and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I basically never go to the movies anymore. Funny thing is that we went to a friends movie at a film festival not too long ago and neither of us lined up in that stupid line that for some reason lasted 20 minutes. Fortunately we knew some people.

I remember being there, schmuck. I just don’t know what your point was.

My point was that I refused to stand in the line, regardless of whether or not I was going to have to sit in the front. If I got a saved seat, great. If not, I didn’t care.
