We saw WALL-E last night. The film was decent, and I really liked the opening short.
What made the experience better, though - we splurged a bit and saw it at the Kabuki Theatre here in SF. We reserved two dead center front row balcony seats ahead of time. Due to a miscommunication, we didn't get there early enough to lounge in the balcony bar before the film; but we did get a decent sandwich to munch on during the movie.

Totally worth an occasional premium to not deal with finding seats, screaming kids, etc.

Not all kids scream -- unless it's ICE CREAM!

Matinees are good for movies too.

Not only are they usually cheaper, they're less crowded, and finding seats is usually very easy.

I took the boys (ages 14 and 3) to see WALL-E yesterday morning -- it was younger boychild's first 'movie theatre' experience -- and, while there were about a dozen 'under-fives' in there, they were all well-behaved and quiet. The problem was one adult on her cell-phone, giving a running commentary about the movie to the person on the other end.

Finding center seats was *easy*, too.

And I thought it was Pixar's best in years.

I dunno. It's summer time, and around here, even matinees tend to have lots of kids ... school's out ...

The idiot on the phone on the other hand should have had her ass-kicked.
