That's when a companion becomes an ex-companion!

[sophrosyne31]

he already is! an ex-boyfriend! now i remember why he is so X.

[sheldrake]

Did you beat him/her to death? I would have done.

I beat so many people to death in my mind, almost every day. It is a little worrying...

[sophrosyne31]

We must make a list. Only yesterday I was contemplating a list. To keep them all in my head, you know, because otherwise I might forget to beat someone to death later on, and that would be a real shame.

So many, though, Duck, so many.

You should go to the Yahoo site and look up their spam policy, under 'help,' or something, or email them and ask how you can make sure it's them. I'm sure they're willing to help you. Don't take any chances with your account details.

BTW, would you say Sunshine is a good movie? I'm a Cillian Murphy fan, so I'm going anyway, but I'm curious to hear other people's opinions. How was he in it?

[sophrosyne31]

I would! The storyline is a little patchy but it's absolutely stunning to look at, and it's a good sci-fi action flick, and yes, your man Cillian is really good. He gets to look panicked a lot and has extremely good hair throughout.

By the way, how do you say his name? Is it a hard C or soft?

[samena]

I think I'll go see it this weekend. Looking forward to it very much. If you want to see more movies with him, I recommend '28 Days Later,' 'Red Eye,' 'On the Edge,' and especially 'Breakfast on Pluto.'

His name is pronounced with a hard C, so basically as 'Killian.' Apparently his nickname is Cilly, which always strikes me as extremely cute. :)

Neither yahoo nor any other reputable net entity would ever email you asking for account details. This is absolutely spam.

[sophrosyne31]

I thought so! thanks, you know, I am a trusting person in general, I never like to think bad of things, but I must learn to.

[reynard_pyjama]

I've been considering asking someone (someone in particular, not a general someone) out on a date. But oh gawd, the possibility of just exactly those movie-going crimes might be even more of a deterrent than my hideous fear of rejection.

I am also very picky about silence while watching special TV shows, but unfortunately the perception many people have about television is that it can/should be talked over and scoffed at willy nilly. I think one of my major past relationships may even have ended because of this very problem. I just can't love a person who persistently makes inane remarks right in the middle of a vital narrative moment.

[sophrosyne31]

Thank god, this was an ex-boyfriend, not a potential. It could be a real deal-breaker and very dismaying if a potential love-of-one's-life turns out to be a git in movies.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST SIT QUIETLY? When I'm queen of the universe, all loud food will be banned from cinemas (quiet food like bananas and orange cake allowed) and one will be strapped into one's seat so as to minimise fretful squirming and chair-banging, and gagged. I want no ejaculations of asinine observation in the crucial bit of the sun blowing up. Yes, my friend did that too. The worst is mid-afternoon audiences of old people (as one used to find at the Lumiere), who are used to shouting over the telly in their livingrooms. HATE HATE HATE DIE.

I have a blacklist of people I simply won't go to movies with, but I forget to keep it updated.

Wow! it turns out I get really cranky about this, too. I feel so energised!

[reynard_pyjama]

Oh my GOD yes, the biddies who gossip about random stuff during the film must DIE.

I'm sorry, but bananas will also have to be blacklisted, as the smell makes me gag.

[sophrosyne31]

Point taken about bananas, I also thought about the smell. Sushi is okay so long as not in crinkly plastic trays. Basically anything that doesn't crunch, pop, hiss, rattle or stink (ie everything sold at a candy bar).

Why stop with biddies? I can think of at least twelve social types who must DIE, and I've only just got up, let me have a good think later.

Haha just realised how appropriate my icon is.
