forgot to mention that before sky captain, there was a man outside the theater with applications for the REGAL CROWN CLUB CARD, which is thing free card you can get and every time you see a movie, you get points and then free stuff. anyway.

next to the card applications was this fat stack of sky captain posters, and they were real nice. now, i approached the man behind the table and asked if i could have one even though i already have a card. he frowned and said that they were for new applications only. i asked again, and this time, i pointed to the pair of WWII british pilot goggles on my head (the SAME ONES sky captain wears in the movie). "i am here for this movie!! can i please have one?" the man took out a rubber band and rolled a poster up for me.

who ever said being a nerd was a bad thing?
