As planned I hot footed it home from work, threw some tea down and raced to catch the 5:30pm showing of X-Men: Days Of a Future Past at my local flea pit (which is actually very tidy).
Even though this was early and close to the end of a normal working day, I entered the screen to find my normal seats (the front row of the main section) littered with viewers except for those spare seats which segregate friendship groups from other humans. I deliberated in going up the steps for one second before choosing to pop myself in one of the front row spares. I slotted in between both armrests which were filled with buckets of pop. The pop got moved with whispers of disapproval from either side. On my left a gargantuan male which I thought of as Harry Knowles but in fact revealed herself to be a woman later when I saw her return from the loo. On my right was a fidgety man who turned out to have some genuine mental issues as he seemed to be accompanied by a 'helper' of some sort. He was quite sweet actually because he physically showed his excitement in his manner and verbally added to the shocks on screen with gasps of surprise and howls of delight.
The film satisfied me, especially QUICKSILVER but not Richard Nixon.
I got home and put Labor Day on the iPad whilst playing Minecraft.
A good evening.
