A nine foot screen, wow. haha, maybe one day.

I don't like going to theaters because of the GERM factor. It's the same problem I have going anywhere where huge volumes of people have come and gone.

Once, I went into an empty, dim-lit theatre and sat down. Well, all of a sudden the lights came on really bright and what I saw absolutely disgusted me. The chairs (originally a bright purple) were ENCRUSTED with grease and grime. Right at the neck area, none of the original purple color could be found, it was entirely GRAY and BLACK, the fabric stiff and leathery from thousands of germy contact with thousands of people.

The lights are kept dim in a movie theatre for a reason, folks. I ran out of there fast. Now everytime I go to a theatre, I'm squeamish, and ultra careful not to let any vital part of my anatomy touch those gross chairs.

Anyway, that is my horror story.

Pampering your immune system too much will just weaken in. Take polio for example. It wasn't until after the turn of the century when sanitation efforts started taking effect and polio started to sweep the nation. This was mainly because kids were no longer picking up the anti-bodies from breast milk when they were babies. The same anti-bodies their mothers had built up by living in unsanitary conditions.

Now, that's not to say you should roll around in the sewer ever day, but being a freak about germs isn't that healthy either. And this coming from someone who's OCD about that kind of shit too. It's something I have to work against.
