(won't post any details/comments, as I don't want to spoil the surprises!)

It's funny you posted this. I just got back from watching it. I'll say this much, I'm glad they didn't botch it like so many remakes of 60's and 70's era shows have (Wild, Wild, West/ Starsky and Hutch). They stayed pretty much true to form in this movie.

I have to admit that I walked into a full auditorium and went down to the very front two switch isles. When I looked back at the audience, I actually laughed out loud when I saw approximately 50% of them were balding and graying middle aged men. There were others of course, but the demographics of this particular showing struck me as funny.

To top it off, I have never seen this in real life until today. Sitting in front of me was a gentleman that has some type of disability. His head is literally the size of a large cantaloupe/ volley ball on a normal sized body. I'm not laughing at him; it was just peculiar watching his silhouette against the movie screen as he got up to buy a drink. I looked it up and it is apparently a fairly common medical condition.

Please don’t complain, I’m not picking on him. I’ve just not seen that before.

Er, yeah . . . that'd be me . . .

Hey.. I was part of the crowd too

That would be me also... Except for the graying part... and the balding part... Well the middle aged anyway.

I am going down to see it in a few minutes. The wife is away for the weekend and she has no interest. Seems like an opportunity.

Yeah, I ended up going by myself too. As far as middle aged goes, I'm not so far behind you guys.

So.... do you want me to tell you how it ends? huh..huh..huh... Do ya?

The best part is when the .....

Hope to go tonight after dinner ...

We need to start a separate "SPOILER" thread.

Actually had a friend (was a Disney imagineer) who was going out for halloween-- but didn't have a full outfit.

Had a clown wig.

Make-up.

And a few Star Trek molded latex pcs (Klingon forehead crown, pointy ears, etc).

Did I mention this guy was pretty creative?

Cut a few whiskers from the clown wig.

Installed the forehead pc and red wig.

Put on the make-up and went as . . .

Bozo the Klingon.
