This is shoehorned into "The Passion" category, but I'm not sure where else I'd put it.
MLB and I went to see another movie on Saturday ("Barbershop II," if you must know...and that experience is worth another short post in just a sec). We noticed that the cineplex management had apparently taken an unusual step to address the emotional impact of "The Passion of the Christ." On a ledge adjacent to the entrance of each of the two theaters where the film is showing were placed rolls of...toilet paper! And I'm not talking about a nice little soft roll of Charmin; I'm talking the industrial strength 12" diameter rolls that you find in only the finest bus stations, pool halls and, um, Hollywood Theaters.
Is this something unique to Midland, or is anyone else noticing a similar thing in their neck of the woods?

I didn't see any tissues or toilet paper available when I saw the film, but I've noticed something else.
You can readily tell which people waiting in line outside the theater either have heard "spoilers" about the film or have already seen it once before.
They're the ones with a Kleenex box in hand.
