I think I found Erz's car.

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.

For me, it's not so much the money as it's a 30 mile round trip to the theater and I have a house, wife, and kid to take care of. But I will see it several more times over the next few weeks.
 
It's almost 20 miles to the theater I go to (a 30 min car ride on the highway) but now Cinemark is building a new theater just 3 mins away from where I live. It's gonna open when Prometheus opens in June.
 
If I can't get a ride, I just walk to the theater. It's a 2 hour walk, but it's not that bad when it's nice outside.
 
I guess I've just been spoiled over the last six years or so that the Cinemark has been about less than ten minutes away from me.

Not everyone lives in a big city. I have to drive to the next city over to see a movie.
I live about 20 minutes outside of the big city. We got lucky when the small town over started to expand in its development.
 
Why is 15 miles to a theater so shocking? It takes about 15-20 minutes to get the theater closest to me.
 
Me to the guy I signed up at the gym today: "So, you work at the labs in the radiation department AND you're a body builder? Were you a fan of the Incredible Hulk as a kid?"

Him: "*laughs* Yes, I was actually."

Me: "Makes sense."
 
Heh, my theater is about a good 6 min walk from my apartment. Very convenient.

Pffft, here in LA, a 15-mile drive will easily take you half an hour. :funny:
 
R2D2's head blocks the mirror view

Don't you know astro mech droids can actually pilot ships & even provide hyperspace jumps, plus are handy mechanics. Shame on you Aziz. :o

Same here. Its a 40 minute drive there and back for me. I haven't even seen the Avengers yet. Too damn broke.:csad:

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."

Uh...not sure what to say.
 
I'm British and still haven't seen The Avengers. :(
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.
 
Electric guys just end up being electric super villains like Electro. If a garbage guy became a super villain he wouldn't name himself Garbago, amirite??

............
 
Well, there was that Garbage Man character in the 2K3 TMNT series.
