Movies

[Guest guest]

Went to the movies and saw the Da Vinci Code, it was the first showing

of the day and there were only 5 others in the theatre. That was a

nice change and it was a pleasent experience.

Great. Did you read the book? I have, three times! Plus all the

other support material. It is fascinating.

How do the rest of you see movies? Do you rent?

Hi Marsha,

I haven't been able to go to a movie in 15 years+. Dolby Surround

Sound is _not a friend_.

I think the last movie I went to was Das Boot on an afternoon during

the week. As I remember, the theatre was very small (Cumberland St in

Toronto right by the Bay Subway stn for Toronto folks) and there were

only 2-3 people in theatre besides myself.

I have been able to go to Drive-In's during the 90's but not the same

thing at all. It is the same effect (actually worse re: Dolby) as

malls, shopping centers, etc. It is about being in enclosed spaces,

maybe. and sound bouncing " back " . I find it so much easier when

things are outside.

Ear plugs are of no help to me anymore and I have never overused them.

I used to rent but even going to the video store is a challenge and

very, very difficult. Pay-for-View really isn't worth it and too

expensive when your only income is Disability.
