The last time we went to an action movie my I had an earbuzz for two days!
oh, and there's a theatre in the next town south of me that has started doing not only serving at your seat, but serving alcohol. American's issues with publicly available alcohol never cease to amaze me. having really come to "adulthood" in Germany has made some of my standards and expectations a little difficult. I have to say though, that having an intermission can be kind of nice. since you're not in a position where you can control the entertainment to go to the bathroom, get something to eat/drink, maybe stand up and shake it off or whatever, knowing that there is an option certainly helps. even professional meetings/trainings give breaks for such things (and the smokers still amongst us). this too may be another reason I'm not totally jazzed about going to movies
