LOL, I have to laugh. You are usually very open about your opinions on a wide variety of issues (generally very thought-invoking, whether or not I agree). Yet you put your opinions about a Star Trek movie behind a cut?!?
Regarding loud theaters -- I'm finding that more and more, I'm wanting to stuff popcorn in my ears -- either they are generally getting louder, or I'm just becoming more sensative. And I wish those kids would stay offa my lawn! Dagnabbit. Seriously, though, I wonder if the kids running the projector have just completely ruined their hearing with all of todays electronic gizmos.
Which reminds me of something else (as long as I'm going off on random tangents anyway), I recently read a book in which characters basicaaly had internal i-phones, wired straight to the brain. Imagine how loud you could make something, if it by-passed the ear itself and was plugged directly into the aural nerve.
