I watched that one a bunch back in the day. I once brought the DVD to watch on my laptop on a bus. I was nervous of people looking over my shoulder because there are some scenes that are inappropriate for buses. Great crime saga

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My favorite crime saga is probably Lee Daniels' The Butler

The Rock... a James Bond film?

I saw the film in theaters and can't say I've thought about it much since but sure, I'll roll with it.

Guys, I don't like having to pick my seats ahead of time. Theaters are all very different, and a 5th row in one might be cool and might suck somewhere else. If I am buying tickets for a show within a day or two, there are only shitty seats available. I also want to pick based on how annoying the other people in the theater appear to be.

Bring back open seating!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I want reserved seats. I would also like the ability to change my assigned seat in an app or something if I go to a theatre I'm unfamiliar with and the seat I chose isn't close enough or is to close to the screen.

I like to sit as close as humanly possible but there are occasionally some truly evil cinemas that will put seats basically underneath the screen. It's cruel and unusual. But I haven't figured out the right way to ask staff what the closest seat with a good view is. Their perspective on what close means seems to differ from mine, and they recommend seats way too far back. I want no one in front of me and as much of my field of vision to be taken up by screen, without distortion, as possible

You like to sit far back so the screen begins to resemble a forty inch television and you get to watch morons eat their popcorn?
