A Breath of Fresh Air

It's been a week since I saw my first film in Germany - Shrek 3. In short, it was air-conditioned, clean and didn't smell like burnt hair. In fact, the digital experience was quite pleasant. Better yet, I found out you can go to the theater and reserve your seat up to five weeks in advance. Which means for films like Harry Potter or other big summer blockbusters, I can select my time, my seat and not worry about arriving early for prime viewing spots. And if I go before 5, the price is under five euros! Sure, there may be only one screen, the movies rotate every showing and some films lag America by months, but with a little planning, I'll never have film anxiety again - and that's priceless.
