We used to go all the time, but now it's almost like a special occasion. @Bridget – Since becoming a parent, seeing four movies in the theater in the matter of a couple of months does seem pretty unusual.

Interesting. Ok, I'll definitely see it on DVD when it comes out. So, was going to the theater 4 times in one season out of the norm for you, too? @Kris – So, the Hulk was that good? Interesting.

I enjoyed it enough that it earned a coveted spot on my list of The Top 10 Superhero Films of, OMG, teh EVARS! Speaking of that list, <em>Iron Man</em> is at the top spot; it's another of the movies I've seen this summer. Then there's <em>The Dark Knight</em>, which is on the list, but not so high as many people expected. Finally, we have <em>Hellboy 2</em>, also on the list. My wife and I intended to see <em>Get Smart</em>, but never worked out the scheduling, and I haven't found time to see <em>Hancock</em> yet, either.
