I think he will actually appreciate the differences between the two, and am eager to take him. Perhaps this will be our date night flick this weekend!

I do remember hearing about how the audience at our local theater was dancing in the aisles and down on an unstable balcony (a part they weren't supposed to climb out on) and damaged the theater. I've always wanted to see a movie that induced the audience to all-out dancing at the end ever since hearing about that. :)Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-80543143215199831012011-11-07T11:26:19.173-05:002011-11-07T11:26:19.173-05:00I kind of really want to see this.
