I'm still trying to decide if we saw an afternoon movie at the slow theater if it would be a terrible idea to take the baby. I haven't seen a movie in a theater in months.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Friend of mine said he couldn't review Spectre because it was so boring he couldn't remember what happened.
Yeah, that's about right. Or rather, I could probably tell you some events that happened in the movie, and maybe in what order, but I couldn't tell you why they were supposed to matter to anyone. It's one thing for a Bond villain to have an idiotic plan, it's another thing altogether for a Bond villain to have no plan at all. Beyond...talking about how evil he is, I guess? Because reasons?
Christophe Waltz is still fun to watch, though, even when he's trapped in a thankless role and phoning it in.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I guess there's a reason why Daniel Craig has decided to swear off any more Bond films. He must have realized long before it came out.
I'm in, Burrell. Pinkie swear? Blood oath?
Blood oath seems more appropriate to Crimson Peak, doesn't it?

I saw Bridge of Spies last weekend: it's the right kind of movie to take your elderly father to.
... that's about all I have to say about it. It's a Spielberg historical drama in which Tom Hanks has integrity and all the women wring their hands.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In case anyone wants to save $15 tonight, don't bother with Spectre. It's awful.
I should have listened to you.
To be fair, it was late and I was tired and I fell asleep and missed crucial plot points probably but since the plot of the movie was basically "Bond goes here and then Bond goes here and then Bond goes here and then Bond goes here" welp.
It's like they thought, "Remember how everyone loved Skyfall?? Let's...completely disappoint everyone this time instead."

Not everyone loved Skyfall.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I liked parts of Skyfall. Not the parts where the beautiful house burned or M died or Vesper died, though. So. Really, not much of it. My memory of Skyfall is fond because the first thing K. and M. and I did on our first night in London was go see it at a fancy cinema. Like you do.

Blood oath it is. Crimson Peak looks like it has already left my local theater, so I will make getting to a slightly more distant showing a priority this week before those go away, too.

I see from Natter that you take your blood oaths very seriously, -t!

Ha! The turnips will affirm, I mean to see these movies!
