I loved this movie--but

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2000)

Dont get me wrong, when this movie came out, it was like a splash of ice cold water after a night of drunken orgy. I was so blown away, that I saw it over fifty times. I have one major complaint about the way this film changed the theatrical exhibition business.
I, like hundreds of others in the theatre, was sitting there with my eyes in a glaze and my mouth wide open in amazement over what I had just seen, when an usher came out and said we had to "clear the theater"!.
Excuse Me? I had been going to movies for over 20 years and the price of admission had always meant that you could stay as long as you wished until the theater closed. Why was this? I heard that the theaters had gotten "Star Wars" for next to nothing, because of the lack of known names or star power--This was just a money grab! (I didn't know at the time that there was a basis for a law suit, although "class action" suits were almost unheard of then)
When I went to see other films, I found that not only did they not have a second bill (B-Movie), but you could only stay for one seating--even if you were late!
Although Star Wars episodes have contributed much to my entertainment pleasure, it also took away a great part of the movie going experience.
I guess its a good wind that does not blow some one some ill.
