I had a look at a list of films released in 2001 to see if I could find which one I saw Del, none rang any bells What ever it was it must of been really bland. No wonder you've had an 18 year hiatus I went to see the Joker movie and was surprised at how good it was for a modern day film. Joaquin Phoenix was superb in it. I went back a week later to see the new Terminator movie as Linda Hamilton is back in it alongside Arny. That wasn't so good due to it being forcibly PC for the sake of it. I won't give a spoiler here in case anyone is planning to see it. It has a big shift in what went before is all I will say. That was its big mistake which is a shame because there's a lot to like about the movie. Apparently they're going to make a sequel to Joker Del. I will definitely be going to see that. As you say though the P C. Stuff puts you off a lot of modern films. If there's too much of it I just stop watching the film part way in. The thing about going to the cinema though is there's no interruptions and you can't beat the big screen for enjoyment if the film is a good one. I also like the fact that you can have a little drink in there now too, and take it through to the seating area. PC isn't a problem if relevant to the film. To do so to the detriment of a franchise made it feel lazy and very forced in this case.

I went to the cinema last night for the first time in quite a few years and was pretty impressed, dead comfy seating and tons of leg room. Seats that tip well back so you can practically lay down if you want to, and a space in the arm rest to put your drink in ( My son and I got a few bottles of Peroni bit pricey at £3.80 but I suppose that's to be expected these days.) The film we watched was 'Joker' and it was as good as I'd hoped it would be. I might not leave it so long going to the flicks again. It's just getting a decent film to watch these days. Joker had an intelligent story to it. Wish there were more like it. Certainly come a long way from the "2 screens and queuing round the block" like there was back in 70s.

I think the last time I went to the cinema was 18 years ago. Even longer for me, Arthur. About 25 years ago now. As a single moggie for a number of years I don't really have the urge to go to the picture house these days. Vi

Swordfish? Looking at the 2001 titles it may have been 'Jurassic Park 3'

I would say I average 2 a year usually. I'll probably go see the new Star Wars film and I'm contemplating seeing the Ford vs Ferrari film with Matt Damon. He's usually pretty good to be fair. Think i'll swerve bond 25 when that comes out. The last few have had far too much crap CGI for my liking. Swordfish? Looking at the 2001 titles it may have been 'Jurassic Park 3' Oh my Its had a reboot since then Arthur. Reboot is Hollywood for run out of ideas so lets remake stuff

Did a piano come out of the floor just in front of the screen? You'll be amazed if you go now. They've added sound, you can actually hear what the people are saying!

I cant seem to remember the last film I saw at the cinema ? I know I saw that Tom Cruise film there, where he played the officer who tried to assassinate Hitler with a bomb in a briefcase, that wasn't too bad. I was visiting Berlin at the time they were filming it and some of the roads were blocked off. That must be about ten years ago now..
