My dad is my main sci-fi-action movie date these days and his one big request to me about movies is "no midnight showings." After all, he does turn 70 this fall.
When we saw THE DARK KNIGHT last summer, a trailer for the Watchmen played before it. He'd never heard of the Watchmen before, but noticed that just about everyone in the theater sat up and made excited noises when it ran. Then he leaned over to me and whispered "we're on for whatever that is when it comes out."
We have tickets for the 2:15pm IMAX showing Friday afternoon.
