    Wishing you all the luck mate… you need movie vouchers or something so you can escape it all until Monday evening.

      I did consider that option! But alas, nothing showing at my nearest theatre that I think I’d like. Never watched the first Moana, don’t think I’d enjoy Wicked(I hear it is good though), not super huge on superhero stuff lately and Kraven the Hunter is a Sony Marvel movie which don’t tend to be great… Maybe I should just pick a Chinese movie and go in blind hoping it has subtitles lmao

        Hahaha you’d have to hope they have subtitles. Agree with you the current movie selection is pretty meh. I live opposite a cinema but haven’t felt like watching anything.

        Not the most fun time of the year to just be chilling out at a shopping centre with everyone going bonkers for their Xmas shopping either tbh…

          Yeah deffo. Don’t think I wanna idle in a shopping centre in plague season (that’s every season lately)

          I’m trying to learn Chinese Mandarin, so I thought maybe an un-subtitled movie could be fine. I won’t be able to follow it, but I could focus on trying to discern tones and shit… But I checked and the movie is The Last Dance, which is Cantonese with subtitles.

            Ooh, now you’ve got me googling it and this actually sounds like something I’d watch… I have a soft spot for HK cinema. No use for learning Mandarin but might be good fun nevertheless
