Whoa!  Some people have all the luck.

I took the plunge last week and paid $6 purely to see the trailer.  It 
was in front of A.I.  I didn't know until this experience that I could 
go without blinking for 2 1/2 minutes.  I then left that theater and, 
hopes raised by the fact that A.I. had trailers from various studios 
(I had thought I needed to go to a WB flick to see the HP trailer), 
went around to three others where the movies were starting slightly 
later.  I think I should be awarded an extra 5 points on my obsession 
rating for this behavior.

Anyway, I had no luck, despite two of the movies being genre- and 
age-appropriate (Atlantis, Shrek).  I did satisfy myself that I 
wouldn't like Cats and Dogs--the animation got to me after about 5 
seconds, and that kind of cartoon violence just makes me squirm--and 
that Planet of the Apes looks very, very weird.  I think they did 
better ape makeup 25 years ago.  I stuck around for about 45 minutes 
of Shrek and then went home.

It was terrific to see the trailer on the big screen, but so 
frustrating (what do you mean, I can't run it back?!) that I probably 
should've spent the money on sushi instead.  The crowd murmured a bit, 
no whoops or "That's Harry Potter!"s.
