For this weekend's Walking Dead, the spoilerverse [spoiler]is waging big that it will be Beth that dies.  Based on the title of the episode and her being know for her musical ability.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]makes sense. Kinda' think she's run her course.[/spoiler]

Gosh, is Days of Future Past good.  People went nuts over Guardians, and rightly, but man is this easily the better superhero film.  Probably the better film-film, too.

Of course, those same people thought Amazing Spider-Man 2 sucked and Winter Soldier was legitimately great, which just proves that I truly am living in a world I never made. :(

The Ring: 115 whole minutes long. :P
There's a slightly arty cinema I like to go to precisely because their seats are uncomfortable and I'm in no risk of falling asleep. There's something about the cinema environment that makes me need the toilet and fall asleep :(

On the other hand it does making watching a film again very fun because there's entire chunks I missed the first time. I watched one of the LotR films again and it was a revelation. I think I must have been asleep for about half of it :blush:

Very fun. :perv:

Guys are considered to automatically consent, right?  That's been the assumption every girlfriend I've ever had has operated under. :hmm:

I'm kind of the opposite with a theater, though.  There's something about it that focuses me, and I can go longer without nicotine, or urinating, or eating, or masturbating, etc (you know, the warp and weft of my usual day :P ).  That said, other than the technical superiority of the presentation, I kind of hate it, because I have to surround myself with other humans.  This is deeply unpleasant, especially if you're watching something alone and don't have the psychosocial armor provided by a friend or sexual partner.

I like the cinema though. And films that I think really need it or are massively improved by it tend to keep me awake. Black Swan for example was hugely improved by cinema sound which kept me up.

I love people :blush:

Watched "How To Train Your Dragon 2".

Enjoyable. Given that I liked that, Frozen, Brave and Madagascar 3, perhaps I should switch to animation now?  :huh:

I like watching a movie in a cinema (by the way, it's called "cinema". "Theatre" is where you watch live actors perform :P), but most cinemas in Poland these days have gone all the way towards commercialism, so there is a 30 minutes' commercial intro at the beginning - which, given that I am a stickler for punctuality, is unbearable.

Yeah, they do that here, too.  Though it's only about 20 minutes and it's mostly trailers for other movies... which would be fine, if I didn't watch a movie or two a week.  IS EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS COMING OUT I HAD NO IDEA.
