Probably coincidence
It seems to me that my listening tastes for today and my new version of iT are oddly in sync ... I say oddly because I have not tried applying the new taste preference filters/smart playlists or anything
I apparently have gotten over the symptoms of my Star Wars Flu yesterday LOL
Given my sequel obsession this week ...
I am really not staying on top of new horror movies like I used to. Apparently there is another Exorcist prequel, this time before the other prequel, it's like a prequel dual-ligy but in reverse. The movie is called Dominion, and some details are here.
All I can say is, there is nowhere but horror movies where prequels, sequels, followups ... or in short, a series of movies can be anticipated over a 20-30+ year period ... funny but I could care less about origin stories about Father Merrin, the delicious irony of this statement LOL
For the beancounters keeping score
I guess a new category has now evolved in movie attendance receipts called the opening midnight showing. Needless to say, although there have been many, ROTS is believed to be the initial record holder at an estimated $16-17M ... to think without me, it would be only 15.999992M ... I am just plain ludicrous
Earlier today, I saw a news report saying the anticipating opening gross for first full opening day of SW, that's yesterday ... at an estimated $50M, crushing the opening of the recent Spidey flick by virtually 20% ... and in a WTF why moment, apparently Shrek raised $44.8M on its FOURTH day of release, yes, people keep stats on every damn little dickering thing
Comments
what would be really cool is if we had a theatre that was digital film ready ... plus THX, of course, I am very greedy LOL
I'm supposed to see it again during Mem Day weekend

Funny! StarWars flu! Shucks I sure could've used that this week huh? Well I'm looking forward to seeing it one more time. Maybe at Dole to see if the sound is different at a THX certified theatre.
