I was at the theater over the holiday break - at least in my area The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe was absolutely jammed, and King Kong was as empty as a beer can with a BB in it. And it wasn't Drudge that is to blame.
We took our granddaughter to see Narnia on a Thursday at 3:15. The theater was full... the only people I saw were going to Narnia.
I had a wonderful conversation with my gd(she's five) before Christmas. Her parents don't take her to Sunday school but she said, "Grandma, St. Nicholas died." I said, "Oh really?" She said, "Yup, but he came back to life as Santa Claus." Relieved, I said, "oh, good." She then asked, "How do you suppose he did that?" I just asked her how she thought it had happened. She brightened up and said, "Aslan did it!" I told her that was probably what happened.
I went to King Kong last night, and the line was the longest I've ever seen at that particular theater.
