I'm British and still haven't seen The Avengers. 
Had I the money, I'd totally go see it again. And again. And again. And aga-You all get the point, I'd see it numerous times.

15 miles to the nearest theater?![]()
I live about 20 minutes outside of the big city. We got lucky when the small town over started to expand in its development.Not everyone lives in a big city. I have to drive to the next city over to see a movie.

Pffft, here in LA, a 15-mile drive will easily take you half an hour.Why is 15 miles to a theater so shocking? It takes about 15-20 minutes to get the theater closest to me.

Not everyone lives in a big city. I have to drive to the next city over to see a movie.

So I heard this conversation in the elevator and had to share it:
Guy 1: "You know how some of your people have problems with the police? You know, they call them pigs and get in fights with them?"
Guy 2: "Yeah."
Guy 1: "We had the same problems where I'm from. But not with the police, it was the electric company. They were always causing problems and extorting us. So one time this guy comes to our block to repair a line and a bunch of us gather around to yell at him and taunt him. He starts yelling back at us, but then he shocks himself, there's a big explosion and he hits the ground. Dead.
Some people were standing around and pointing saying 'That's what you get electric man!' Eventually someone calls the electric company to come get their man. They show up and someone asks 'How long ago did this happen?' Someone says 'A couple of hours.' And the electric man looks at him and says 'You waited that long? Okay, you wait till tomorrow.' The next day a big truck pulls up with a giant spool and they start taking wires down. They took our power away for a year."
Guy 2: "Jesus, where did you live?"
Guy 1: "Nigeria."
Well, I didn't see it yet because my friends are jerks and they didn't invite me. You think they'd remember that I like comic books, but I guess not. Next time they don't invite me to a movie, I won't invite 'em to my wedding when I get married because then they'll know how I feel.I'm British and still haven't seen The Avengers.![]()
