"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My moviemate mentioned that the guy next to me was really into it, and the more I got into it, the more he got into it.

That's just sort of, yucky and porny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stop that! It's perfectly valid mob mentalityaudience synergy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awww, Teppy, no need to reassure me about your menageity. I already had you pegged as strictly folie-à-deux creepy.

Gnyargh. I give up. Sort of. Hec, what are the times? Maybe I can meet you down there for a later show.

Sure think of it as synergy. Or think of it as the guy who gets off on just watching you get off.

I'd be startled if he explicitly knew I was there, and certainly if he was watching me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Clearly, the present never is changed by mischievous time-travellers: people don't suddenly fade into the ether because a rerun of events has prevented their births - that much is obvious.

How is it obvious?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't want to go alone

I'm having the same damned problem. DH has offered to keep the boy TWICE and told me to go see it. I haven't taken him up on it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I am going to see the Bat alone tomorrow, unless one of the SFer's want to see a matinee tomorrow or Sunday.

Also, Thanks, ita! I'm going to watch it tonight, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Gnyargh. I give up. Sort of. Hec, what are the times? Maybe I can meet you down there for a later show.

I'm at home drinking vodka. You come home, drink vodka, we go see movie. Ugh.
