The big screen Coronet theater in San Francisco that showed all of the Star Wars films dating back to the original chapter sadly shut down a few months ago. The few remaining single screen theaters left in San Francisco have inadequate sound systems (not that the Coronet's was that great to begin with), and much smaller screen sizes. Star Wars just wouldn't be the same in some anonymous megaplex, so I'm willing to wait the extra week to catch it in a big theater.

As a sidenote, I read that a group of Star Wars fans have camped out in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood for two months, and the movie might not even play there! Ep. III is confirmed for the Cinerama Dome a couple of miles away, but as far as I know, the line has not moved there yet. Oh, if only I had that much time on my hands!

Wooch, have you been to the Bridge right off the 405, just north of LAX? It's an awesome theater, with a bar and everything. I'd be happy to join you if I'm not outta town.
