On walkouts

[prog]

Walking out of a movie being shown at your friend's house lacks the satisfying feeling you get (or anyway I get) from walking out of a theater showing, and may even look rude to people prone to taking it the wrong way. But sometimes you just have to hit the gong. (And I don't think anyone took it the wrong way. I was polite about it.)

Wow, what a stinker. It was just one of those no-brain "comedies" where every single character is the exact same completely selfish Type-A jerk, and I had no desire to spend the next 90 minutes in their company. Filling the story with obscure nods to ST:TOS storylines does not fix it for me. Eating shit served to you by Bill Shatner himself is still eating shit. Sorry.

Here is a much better Shatner movie that derspatchel linked a while ago. Enjoy! (Regretfully it was my watching this in the office that began the sequence of events leading to the other film's showing. But, la.)

wait, who are you?

i actually don't remember you running down the street after us, and NO ON ELSE IN THE CAR MENTIONED THIS TO ME, DAMMIT.

D'oh.

Well, I will try to be back at my place between 5-6. failing that, I can put it in our front hall, and Zarf can get it back to you.

I don't think any of the rest of us noticed it either, sadly. Sorry Matt!

Actually, I figured that no one noticed, but on the chance you did and thought, "he's just like that," I wanted to say I had good reason this time.

Anyway, I can come by and pick it up at 6 if that works for you.

aim for before 6.

at 6, I am heading out for the weekend, with a carload of folks who might not want to wait too long.
