It’s movie night, the time to see one of several big science-fiction films of the summer. You arrive just as the 15 minutes of previews start, trying to sneak past the other patrons in your row without tripping over any outstretched limbs or jutting armrests. At last, you’ve arrived at your seat. You ease into the overly spongy cushion and let out a sigh of relief as the realization that you didn’t tar-and-feather any of the other moviegoers with your one-two punch of glowing-yellow buttered popcorn and soft drink. It’s enough to almost make
