Like most people I go to a movie theater to see the latest flicks that come out, if I deem them worthy of seeing. I have three categories for movies: (1) must see in the theater (2) won’t lose anything watching it at home and (3) this could really, really suck but I have to get out of here before I kill again. What? Like your criteria is any different? Shut up or I’ll brain you with an unclaimed ox.

Any-whoo going to see a movie is a tad more complex if you’re a geek so I’ve come up with this simple formula I NEVER stray from whenever I go to see a movie:

Solve this equation and you’ll see how this geek plans on going to the movies.

First, I get in my car and head towards my favorite movie theater, the only theater I deem worthy to go to. Then, being that I wear glasses, I stop at Wal-Mart which is right around the corner from the theater. I absolutely cannot stand specks and dots from dirty glasses while watching movies and I stop by their Vision Center and the nice people clean my glasses for me. The minute I found out they do this for you, I make sure I stop by right before a movie because they can get your glasses much cleaner than I can in seconds. I think they have a machine; man would I love to have one of those! I HATE cleaning my glasses!

I then get back in my car and go to the movies all happy and with a shiny pair of clean glasses. I tried that with my car and their Auto Center but alas, no go.

If I was really peckish when I stopped by Walmart I get a sub ($2.99) and some iced tea (69 cents) and eat it in the theater parking lot. Once I pay for my movie, usually with a free coupon I head inside smuggling in some Twizzlers or other candy. I then make sure to ask for 2 courtesy cups of ice water at the concessions counter and take my seat. Simple yet geeky eh? Especially that getting your glasses cleaned bit, bet that’s a new one for you guys, eh?

So… how do you plan your movie going, fellow geeks?
