... As mentioned the other day, I went to see 2001 - A Space Odyssey in IMAX last night. Jesus Christ, that film is creakier than the prosthetic hip @Walks_At_Night got with that GroupOn offer. Seeing it on a giant screen does it no favours and overall it comes across as a load of old balls that must have looked good 50 years ago to a bunch of stoned assholes but it looks really pretentious now. Boring too. I thought that perhaps the last 20 minutes might benefit from being seen on a big screen but if anything it's even more annoying when blown up like that. And a few of the bits got some unintentional laughs...
The first time I watched 2001 it seemed sort of terrible and boring, but thinking I must have missed something I saw it again 10-15 years later. I'm convinced it's one of those movies no one actually likes, but we're not supposed to say so.
... £6.40 for a beer that was barely more than half a pint. FFS!!
That's not my image of the UK at all. Well, maybe the £6.40. When he set it down in front of you, should've asked where the rest of it was.
Coffee? I drink it at the local coffeeshop when I go there, since that's what they've got, and at the office since it's free, but I've never made it at home or had it any other time.
