That you have to get into the cinema bloody early to get the back seat directly facing the centre of the screen.

"two seats please"

"but you're alone?"

"...."

".."

At least I can watch a UK production without feeling guilty

Surely that depends on when you go? We went to a midweek 5pm showing of Gone Girl and our tickets were for the back row, centre seats.

I reserve the seats online before I go to the cinema.

No, it turns out it's the type of film you're going to see more than anything...

Maze Runner - YA crowd.

'71 - A local film for local people

I'm normally in my seat 15 minutes before the trailers start, i'm starting to think i'll go even earlier now. Some guy looked disgusted that he didn't have the entire back row to himself, had to ask the ignorant git to move his feet so I could get by.

I've no qualms about sharing a row as long as there's at least one seat between me and anyone I don't know.

I will always choose to sit in the seat that allows my eyes to be horizontally and vertically in the centre of the screen.


And I never have the problem of "other people" because I will wait until the last week of screening and go at like 20 to midnight.

Cinema being 'a crowd experience' is friggin' dead, isn't it?

ION, my sister who is currently off to see a romcom, told me before she left that she loves the Ninja Turtles and will be going to see the new film. There has never been any indication of this. Ever.

You mean she hasn't got all the TMNT T-shirts, figurines and wallpaper?

She's never mentioned them once. She never even saw the cartoon when we were kids.

Quite why my dad gets so upset about kids TV shows. Power Rangers was on the other night and he said 'We've moved on!', totally ignoring the reality in front of him. '60's Batman was 'sick' as in 'diseased', even though it was clearly a spoof. Tonight it was my sister needing to grow up when the Turtles were mentioned. He didn't have much comeback when I said none of the shows ever went away because every five years or so you could bring them back with newer animation etc for an audience younger than his socks.

He's that much of a cnut about it I feel like asking him was he abused during an episode of Andy Pandy or something.

Resisting the urge to go and see the Turtles movie before my sister tells me anything about it. That, and the fact I haven't seen a Turtles movie in the cinema since Secret of the Ooze. I mean, I know it's gonna be a pile of crap... Must resist.

Angst.
