I only go to the local theater once or twice per year anymore. Big screen TV in the house and the availability of so much on DVD makes the home theater option pretty attractive.
Tonight however, I intend to take in the new summer "blockbuster" Iron Man at our local movie house. I was a pretty avid comic book reader as a kid, and loved the Marvel superheros becuase I always thought they were more believable characters.
Iron Man was a prticular favorite of mine. I've seen good reviews, and the box office has been big. So, I'm going to cough up the twenty bucks for me and missus and give a go.
Even with a decent home setup, the epic, special effects based flicks always play better in a real theater enviroment.
How about you guys? Any big time movie fans out there? (You don't have to admit it, if your wife makes you watch chick flicks)

Several of us down here went to see it on opening weekend. It was indeed a very good movie. It felt like the comic book come to life, unlike some other Marvel movies.
We're all waiting for the next Indiana Jones as well as the new Adam Sandler movie.
