Cost is a minor aspect of my dislike but mainly I just can’t stand crowds. If a theater is likely to be at more than 20% capacity, I just skip it. If that means I don’t get to see popular movies in theaters, that’s just my too bad. ---

I don’t like to go to the theater either, most of the time I’ll wait to see a movie on video. But that’s no excuse for spoiling a movie. I can’t believe the way people wrecked Titanic and Apollo 13 for me. ---

I watch _The Walking Dead_ on Netflix, but it’s available here in Panama only for the season previous to the current one. Someone spoiled a major plot point for season 8 for me in a thoughtless thread title here, so I’m a little touchy on the issue. I spent the entire season wondering at what point it was going to happen. ---

I can’t believe the way people wrecked Titanic and Apollo 13 for me. Of course _Apollo 13_ was going to have problems! They had Forrest Gump in command. If you didn’t see that coming, that’s on you. ---

I apologise for the spoiler, I had assumed most people would KNOW that Thanos would get his comeuppance. It was the OTHER part that happened towards the end that actually shocked people. ---

Actually, when I saw the movie, I assumed that they _couldn’t_ kill Thanos in the final battle, since they had to put him back where he came from. So I was very surprised when they did.
