I may go see it this week. As I was leaving the theater at 7 PM after
watching "Zack and Miri" and having the auditorium all to myself there
was actually a line out of the door of the theater and I would bet most
were there for the Bond movie. That would be the best presentation in
this area as the other two chains in this part of the county (Cinemark
for one) have not yet converted to digital. I believe part of it is
due to having Marc Forster as director who did "Monster's Ball" and
"Finding Neverland."
