Co., Everett, WA Lines: 22 I think the major superiority of almost in film is that feeling of a group experience, especially with comedies. I went to the opening night of GHOSTBUSTERS in Baltimore, and it was like a very good concert. Also, go to any opening night performance of any Star Trek movie... I guarentee that you'll think the movie is 20 to 70% better than it is (I remember the first one; in restrospect, not a great movie, but by the end of the premiere, the audience was doing everything but tossing one another into the air). Of course this is not true with all movies, but almost all of them give such "group rush" in some degree, I think. On the other hand, the worst type of psychologist is the amateur type...
