        \_ Some of my friends said they bought tickets to 'The
           Phantom Menace' through the Century Theatres web site just
           after midnight Wednesday. Normally you can buy tickets online
           one week in advance from that site, and for some reason it
           didn't block their orders even though technically they weren't
           supposed to be on sale for another 12 hours.
        \_ all showings for century21-23 sold out for wednesday. luckily,
           got mine thru 777-film though, so i'm happy =)
           \_ It's not THX.  Doesn't make sense to see Star Wars in a
              non-Lucasfilm THX screen.
              \_ There are no THX screens playing SW in thee south bay
                 (to the best of my knowledge). Isn't JLS the closest one?
                 Anyway, those seats (JLS) are hella uncomfortable and not
                 really worth it. At least Century 22 will be using the
                 new Dolby Surround EX format.
                 \_ Century Berryessa screen 2.  UA Pavillion.
                    I saw The Mummy in Century Berryessa THX screen and
                    was quite impressed compared to other century theatres.
                    \_ Hmm, they must've really improved it. Last time I was
                       at that screen was the 2nd Batman movie, and it
                       sounded as if it were in stereo.
                       \_ You probably didn't see it in a THX screen.  You'd
                          know it if it's THX right before the movie starts.
                          \_ Yeah, I know. I did see the THX trailer thing.
                             Must've been a faulty day. I haven't been
                             back there since.
                 \_ There will be an grand opening of Century 25 in Union
                    City.  I think all screens are THX.
              \_ I thought the Century theaters on Winchester had THX.

                 \_ Century 21 definitely is not THX.  That one sounds awful.
              \_ What is so special about THX anyway?
                 \_ Ask George Lucas.  He invented it. :)
                    \_ WRONG. one of his Engineers for Lucasfilm did.
                       THX is NOT named after that movie he made. it's
                       stands for Thompson Experimental.
                       \_ http://www.thx.com/history/index.html says it
                          was named after THX 1138.
