Went to see Avengers today...$1 for me, $1 for Paul...

Great flick. The ending was phenomenal.

1. You could have saved 50% by renting it from RedBox.

[WillParkinson]

2. And watched it on a smaller screen...

Without the awesome sound? No thanks. It was $2 well spent, I think.

[HopeHoops]

3. Yeah, but the popcorn is cheaper.

[WillParkinson]

4. No popcorn...no beverages...

I had a cheap date.

[HopeHoops]

6. Um, beer.

[kentauros]

5. I ate my friend's popcorn

when I saw it today, too

[HopeHoops]

7. "Friend"? "Friend" You do NOT eat a friend's popcorn. That's just wrong.

[kentauros]

8. He also tried out the automated ticket counter

and bought mine while I held a place in the regular line.

I have to pick up the tickets for the next extra-early matinée we try. Probably Prometheus.

[HopeHoops]

9. I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I don't use those things.

Yeah, I'm an old fart.

On Edit: Get off my lawn!!!
(seemed appropriate)

[kentauros]

10. I turned 51 this year.

And I fart.

[HopeHoops]

11. I'm 49 and I fart in sentences.

It happens.

On Edit: I can't stand Humplewhatever. I'm more of a Genesis and King Crimson sort of guy. My wife loves Billy Joel and I came to love it as well. Good shit, Maynard.

[kentauros]

12. I saw Genesis when Peter Gabriel and Bill Bruford

were still with them. That was quite a show!

I missed out on seeing King Crimson when they reformed the band in the 80s. I would have liked that

(I'm not a fan of Englebert "Slut Bunwalla" Humperdinck either; just of Eddie Izzard

[HopeHoops]

13. I saw King Crimson at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD. Great concert.

Despite knowing most of their work, they did a lot that I wasn't familiar with - including a half-hour improvisation session. I saw a lot of concerts there. That's when tickets were about $8. I saw the Simon and Garfunkel reunion tour (83?) at Laurel race track and was astonished that they were charging $17 for a ticket. It was well worth it. I actually met Phil Collins in '82, but the reason for the encounter isn't my favorite subject. I got a hug from him.
