THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM: Other than age verification for R-rated movies, is there a reason why they still have human beings selling the tickets at movie theaters? Standing in a long, long line at the Loews Cherry Hill 24 last weekend made me wonder why these teens hadn't long ago been replaced by a bank of ATM-like devices for selling all movie tickets. I mean, it's not like people need a "film sommelier" -- as if the kid selling tickets could provide such advice -- so, why?

And you can solve that one issue easily -- have tickets for R-rated movies print out in a different color, so that the usher knows which groups to check for an adult presence. Or am I missing something?
