Today’s kids won’t have the experience of waiting in line for HOURS for a movie and being rewarded mightily for their patience. I waited hours for ‘Empire’ and ‘Jedi’. I loved them both.

They also won't have the experience of seeing these movies in sold-out, super-gigantic theaters alongside 1,000+ raving fans.

During the 70s and early 80s, when movies trickled out of ho-wood at a slow pace, enormous stand-alone movie theaters were economically viable. This is no longer the case.
