Google glass. Sounded like we'd all be wearing these glasses that we'd not be able to do without, but even looking back that sounds like such a poor idea. I try to not be on my phone as much as I can, I can't imagine wearing glasses with an interface in my direct vision constantly, especially when a lot of it would be shit like emails, LinkedIn notifications of people I might know, and my siblings sending me 12 Instagram posts in a row.

First thing I thought of when I saw the post, and your comment was the first I saw!

Does anyone know the story with the character? Was he also supposed to rely on fear gas etc?

Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.

Last time I went to the cinema it was a small screen, and had a bunch of teens just taking the piss. It's to be expected at this point, but it really compromises the experience of going to the cinema. They ended up getting shouted at and they eventually behaved, but for a movie with a fairly quiet first few scenes they wouldn't stop with shitty one-liners, saying how they'd fuck the lead actress, and throwing their food at the screen.

This is what I pay to go to the cinema for? When I saw Spectre there were a group of teens taking photos with the flash on, and laughing constantly. Entitlement and selfishness are what ruin the cinema experience for most people. Then things like the hygiene of others etc - being in a hot cinema with someone who hasn't bathed recently and is just stinking of a few days of BO is really off-putting lol.

It was Mitchell and Webb! 😁 "Good, simple food, cooked simply! It's easy" "It's easy because you did it, I'm clearly not very good at this if I'm on your show, and you've done things on your plate that might be simple to you, but may as well be magic to me! The only reason we have people in there now is because you're here!"

I'm not sure how I feel about the voice acting from the actor voicing Batman. It just feels kinda flat and bored. I know he's going for something like a stoic depth but it lacks the depth? I think it's fine in his Bruce Wayne public voice, but once it's his Batman voice it's a bit lifeless.

Oh okay I get what you mean now, definitely with you on the really badly over-used jokes. Nobody and This Is The End are great movies!

I think that it's a few factors. Some movies that were longer started to be accepted, like the summer blockbusters creeping longer and longer and people not complaining much about the length. Then streaming picking up more and more, and with habits of binging it became apparent people were happy to sit for longer and longer times watching content (shows, documentaries, movies) and then with COVID and people looking for things to occupy their time longer content was welcomed more.

Though with your list of things you don't like in films I'm not sure you really like films at all? Talking scenes are usually important for dialogue exposition, reflecting the characters mindsets etc, but why do you hate fight scenes and comedy scenes? What kind of movies do you like?

They're funny without being a try-hard
