I'm at one of those theaters where you purchase your exact seat. Only seat available was in the front row so I asked the cashier if I could get a discount for such a lousy location. She said she could ring me up as a child.

WooHoo! I saved $1.50!

Seeing a movie on opening night isn't important any more thanks to digital projectors, the Last playing is as good as the first.

I'd much rather watch new movies on the Tuesday afternoon after opening weekend, if I can swing it. You're generally guaranteed to see less than 15 other people in the theater.

There are very few movies I like to see opening day and #StarWars is one of them.

I would have paid extra for a center-front row seat, especially for IMax. I love having my entire visual field taken up.

Lorne Thomas​ Seeing a movie on opening night isn't important anymore due to the proliferation of really large-screen TVs and Bit Torrent Netflix.

That said, I do like to watch big-budget special-effect films on 3D in a good theater (preferably IMax.) That's worth the price of admission to me. I saw John Carter that way, and whatever you may think of the movie, the effects were damned impressive (and right out of Burroughs novels, the translation to film was incredible.)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
