Said by someone without a bat cave with a 120" movie screen.

Totally disagree. He has been a lifelong Batman fan and looks to be living his dream. His family seems to dig it too. Why do you think enjoying something can't be "normal"?

Anyway, isn't going out to a restaurant, or to a hockey game, or out to a movie simply spending money on short-term enjoyment? Buying a new car? Magic Mountain? Isn't an enjoyable life just a long string of short-term enjoyments? If you had a choice, every time you wanted to watch a movie, between your computer and the awesome 120" bat cave theater, you think the computer would be "as fun"? I'm sad for you.

This type of materialism just creates a short-term increase in enjoyment, and then things go back to normal.

After the initial newness has passed, watching movies will go back to only being as fun as watching them on your computer monitor (which is fine).

He could have saved himself hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Never AGAIN Grace!!!

Went to Magic Mountain in CA years ago and got on a ride similar to this, except it was the giant Viking Ship/Space Shuttle, etc which swung back and forth, as well as up and over. This type of ride has two sides of passengers facing each other, blocked by a central wall (where the pivot arm is attached). As we went up and over, although we couldn't actually see the people on the other side, we could tell that they were spitting, potentially covering people on our side with spit once we swung back down. Everyone was getting pissed and yelling at them to stop. Once the ride ended, we all piled out, ready for a fight, only to be greeted by an army of green-faced, empty-stomached Japanese tourists exiting the other side of the ride. So, yeah....it wasn't spit...

No photos.?
