We finally got to see Spider Man -- Into the Spider Verse and enjoyed it a lot. I really enjoyed the style and found the whole thing funny and engaging. Though did get distracted for ages trying to places the actor who provided Peter Parker's voice. I Googled it when the movie was finished and it was a big, of course moment.

Not that the film started well. The cinema was rammed and our screen was full of kids. Not that they caused any issues, though I do wish the mega Spider Man fanboy behind us would have used his indoor voice as he explained to his dad many details of the Spider verse throughout the movie. Plus, when we go to the cinema we always get a Costa coffee each and James gets a cup of ice and then I add pop we take in ourselves. We did that today, because it so busy it was minutes from the actual film starting, so poured the pop over the ice, and realised that the bottom of the cup had a crack and pop was flowing everywhere. My feet and trousers were soaked and the floor a slip hazard so I had to quickly go and ask for cloths to clean up the spill. The cinema guy kept asking if I wanted him to go get me another drink from Costa, but I said no. That would be a bit cheeky considering it was our pop that was spilt.

We're considering a double feature of Bumblebee and Mary Poppins tomorrow, but I suspect it'll be one or the other. Whatever one it is, I'll be checking the cup before any liquid is poured.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Eeep kids. But aww no, that was bad luck with the drink

Oh cool, let me know if they’re any good and I hope you have a nice new year!

How icky to get pop all over like that but good to hear that you still managed to enjoy the movie.

Oh, maybe I should watch the original Mary Poppins tomorrow. It's one of the few Disney movies I have on DVD. (I really need to get some of the old animated classics like Sleeping Beauty and Aristocats on DVD. I love them so much.) Whichever you end up watching I hope you'll enjoy it a lot!

Oh no, what a total pain about the spill. I hope you didn't end up too sticky.

I definitely want to see spider man, maybe at the weekend.

Oh, yays, I'm so happy you watched and enjoyed Into the Spiderverse. I have, not surprisingly, a LOT of feelings about that movie. Will probably do some kind of squeeful post later this coming week. ;)

I sorta lucked out the first time I watched the movie because I purposely bought a ticket for a 21+ show (you can drink wine or beer) so the crowd was deffo growned up. And it was truly delighful. I keep having to reschedule my second viewing for one reason or another, tho.

Ugh at having to watch the movie all sticky and whatnot.

Although I'm pretty much done with theater going (the only thing I kinda want to watch is The Favorite), I have heard a lot of fantastic buzz for Bumblebee and almost none for the Mary Poppins movie. FWIW, I'm not a Mary Poppins fans solely because I've never seen the original movie (nor am likely to do so anytime soon).

IF you have to choose, I'd suggest going to Bumblebee might end up being hella rewarding/enjoyable.

Yay for a fun movie, but boo for spilled soda and loud neighbors.

Glad you had a good enough day regardless.

Oh how frustrating! That sounds very uncomfortable, as well as a pity to lose your drink. It sounds like you got to enjoy the movie anyway, so I'm glad about that, but certainly hope for better luck with the next cup!

You're so ethical! I would've just taken the free soda. :)
