After grabbing a quick food truck taco, it was time to stand in line to watch a new 35 mm print of Road Warrior, with director George Miller doing a Q & A. Of course
everyone in the theater thought that we'd actually be seeing the new Mad Max: Fury Road instead, but it was undeniably great to see this classic on a big screen at the Paramount Theater with rabid fans and the director in attendance.
I
wanted everyone in the theater to appreciate the padlevel that I was bringing to this screening, and also to let everyone no that I probably know more about the NFL then they do.
It's a fabulous moment of release —
everyone in the theater where I saw the film laughed giddily — and it's one of the most wondrous half - minutes of acting on screen.
Or it could just be that a film focused on Batman — even if he's in Lego form — is never going to be able to conjure up emotional memories from childhood (or parenthood)

The reason why they work comes from the commitment on Berg's part to allow the characters to come to life first, giving us little touches of their humanity and camaraderie, before letting it all rip in a showdown with the bad guys that will probably have
practically everyone in the theater on edge.
It is crashingly obvious to
everyone in the theater that Maggie and Ike will eventually find themselves at the altar together, after obligatory preliminary fights, negotiations and scuffles.
Everyone in my theater was on the edge of their seats.
Everyone in the theater, knowing fan or neophyte, will get a kick out of the mystery's end, which also happens to be the one sequence of the film that earns its larger frame.
I could not stop, and by the end of the movie I think
everyone in the theater was sniffling!
