thumbs up...
went to see _v for vendetta_ tonight with krista and paul. you should, too. (well, not with krista and paul -- that might put a bit of a strain on K & P's social schedule.) but the movie is good. really good. much much much better than i thought it would be. of course, i might have been expecting it to really suck, given what the wachowski brothers did with the second and third _matrix_ movies... but i was pleasantly surprised with this one. it was visually beautiful and well acted. there might have been a couple of moments that were a tad bit over the top, but that's kinda to be expected these days it seems.
oh, and i totally love hugo weaving.
but here's a question... after the movie, krista and paul and i were discussing the merits of getting the reserved seating in movie theaters. none of us quite see the logic in it. the best we could come up with is maybe if somebody's going to the movies, gets to the box office, opens his/her wallet and just has way too much money and the only realistic option is to set fire to some of it, or pay the extra price for a reserved seat in the theater, then maybe it would make sense to get the reserved seat... ??? so, if anybody out there can or wants to offer some sort of explanation/justification for the whole reserved seating in movie theater thing, i'd be happy to hear it.

In England, there's assigned seating at the movies and when you're buying your ticket they make a big deal of asking you which area you want to sit in the theater. So maybe it's for people who are extremely afraid they're going to get stuck sitting to one side of the screen or the other? It's more of a big deal in England, where every showing of every movie seems to be impossibly crowded. (Average movies were regularly sold out in my experience there.)
i know the reserved seating at Loews came in handy for my dedicated friend during the second of the Star Wars movies. I guess the ticket guaranteed that they wouldn't have to strain their necks during the whole thing since they knew it would be sold out.
