1. Portia, if only films at least had an intermission for those wee breaks! This does look like one that may lure me to a theatre – sci-fi is one of the few things I love as much as perfume – expecially with Jodie and Matt. ~~nozknoz

2. I looooove the movies purely because I usually leave the kids at home so I get some peace and time to myself! That movie looks awesome. Personally I’m hanging for Man Of Steel. That will be epic. Or Wolverine. Hello Hugh Jackman!

6. I prefer the comforts of home myself….especially when movies can be streamed onto my TV and lazy me gets to watch in bed! I adore Matt Damon….quite a talented actor….and P, you had me laughing (once again!) as I can commiserate about getting fidgety or needing a bathroom break and not wanting to shed tears in public! all good reasons to stay at home!

   • Yes but Matt Damon larger than life? It’s go to be a little persuasive?
     BTW I laughed, cried, fidgeted and ultimately ended up leaving for a pee during Identity Theft tonight.

7. Hmmm, I’m very intrigued, especially since “District 9” was an excellent film (notice I said “film”, not “sci-fi film”). =)

8. I love going to the theatre, but more often I watch at home with my family, piled up like puppies on the sofa in the basement. We’ve got a projector screen down there with surround-sound speakers, so it’s a big experience, and there are distinct advantages in terms of price and potty breaks. 😉 This week we debuted “Rise of the Guardians” because Spud got it as a birthday present.

   I hadn’t seen a trailer for Elysium yet, but color me intrigued. The ones I’m geeking out about right now are Star Trek: Into Darkness (Benedict Cumberbatch! squee!), Iron Man 3, Catching Fire, Man of Steel, Ender’s Game and part 2 of The Hobbit. What can I say? I’m predictable. 🙂

   • HAH!! We just watched Identity Theft. Stupid but fun movie with some great one liners.
     We went as a crew and Korean BarBQ afterwards. Super great night. I am blessed.

9. I love going to the movies and also watching them at home. Especially for the popcorn. Friday night is usually movie night at home where we watch whatever we got on Netflix and I make fresh popcorn. When there is something me or the husband is extra excited about or demands seeing on the big screen, we’ll go to the movies. Lots of butter on my popcorn please! Excited for this one – love Matt Damon! And Star Trek and Iron Man too. I do usually end up having to take a pee break since I always drink lots of soda with that popcorn, which annoys me since I too hate missing things and not understanding what is going on. There is actually an app (RunPee) that lists the exact time and scene when the best times are to go pee (no important stuff going on) for all current movies and explains it so you can read in the bathroom and not miss anything! I used it for 2 really long movies that I knew I wouldn’t make it through (Dark Knight Rises & Django).

10. I almost never go to movie theaters – most of all, because I HATE the smell of popcorn. And because moviews are soooo long nowadays that I just can’t sit through 3+ hours without either eating/drinking something (that can be resolved by either going to movie+dinner type of theaters – where they exist – or by bringing your own food: I remember coming to each of the Lord of the Rings movies with a thermos with tea, nuts and chocolate) and/or going to the bathroom (and here there’s nothing you can do not to loose a part of the action). So my normal pattern – one movie per year (or less). And usually it should be something that I expect to be much better if viewed on a big screen (like mentioned above LOTR or Godzilla).

    • OMG!! Undina? You really hate the smell of popcorn? Is it some deep childhood memory? That’s one of the best bits for me, a HUGE bucket of popcorn. YUMMY!

        No, really: the first time ever I smelled popcorn I was in my late twenties.

11. This looks like a lot of fun. Jodie Foster with Matt Damon, on a sci fi-rebels against evil empire movie? Count me in! And is he hot or what?
    By the way, I drink loads of water (and beer too, who am I kidding :-)), so it is hard at the movies, I always feel like I’m disturbing people around me when I get up, sometimes twice.

12. A ‘wee’ intermission would help the long lines at the toilets after the movie. Good observation! 🙂
