   Growing up? How old do you think I am?  When I saw it "growing up" it   
   was on TV.  I was in my 40s when I saw it in a theater for the first   
   time.   
      
   IMAX 3D I missed.  I'm tempted to give it a go--it's either going to be   
   totally wonderful or one of the worst horrors ever perpetrated by   
   Hollywood.
