Remember to abbreviate your state.

And thanks to Samwise Gamgee, the fat little Hobbit for his non-spoiler review. :D How\'d he get to see this before anyone else? He has connections.....Gandalf. ;)

Now depressed.  I realize now with all of the beautiful new theaters in tampa, none of them are THX.  Bummer.  

Screw it though.  Jar Jar rocked and he was the only reason the first episode was any good.  Bring back Jar Jar Damnit!!!

THX is a brand name company. There are digital theatres that use other name brands, maybe not THX in your area but I\'m quite sure there is at least one digital theatre there.

THX is a standard, it doesn\'t define what brand name of audio reproduction hardware you use.  It only defines how it\'s configured, where it\'s placed, what frequency response it has to attain, etc.  THX is not a competitor of Dolby Digital, SDDS, DTS, etc.  It\'s only a standard.

What you want are digital theatres.  Digital theatres are far more rare, but it is the format Episode 2 was meant to be seen in.  Find one near you:

I have only one in my area, the AMC 1000 in San Francisco.  New York has two I believe.

I just got the tickets last night for the opening day show at 7:30pm Digital Format. YESSSSS! :D

12 tickets in less than 30 seconds. Then I went back to my GF\'s house and had dinner.

What kind of person would camp out for a month for a damn movie? I understand the passion....but why stay there for a month when you can just pre-purchase and then go home?
