When I posted about True Grit yesterday, I realized I might actually be willing to go to a theater to watch it, despite the fact that this means I’d have to pay money to watch a movie…

• …sitting upright…
• …in the dark…
• …without being allowed to talk…
• …or pause to savor and probably replay my favorite parts…
• …or pour my own drinks…
• And all this while huddled together—like we’re on public transit—with a couple hundred strangers…
• …slurping gallons of soda, noshing bushels of popcorn, and smacking Sourpatch Kids…
• …in my ear.

Other than that stuff, though, I don’t mind movie theaters, I suppose.

Do you feel this way, too, or does none of that stuff bother you enough to keep you away from the cineplex?

This Christmas, the Coen brothers have a new version of True Grit coming out starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.

Reds pitcher, Aroldis Chapman, set a record for fastest fastball with this 105mph pitch against the Padres on Friday.

I wonder if he also set a record for largest piece of gum chewed by a professional pitcher in league play.
