So this was funny
Adrian Schiller played Reverend Hale in The Crucible.
Meanwhile, I’m off to see Ocean’s 8 two more times on cheap day, and then the latest NT Live transmission, the play adaptation of Mark Haddon’s book.
In the spirit of Guylty’s challenge:
Amount of money I’ve contributed to Chris Pine’s entire career: $25.
- 3 Star Trek films seen on cheap day at the theater. He’s okay, but he is just mimicking William Shatner, not really performing a role himself.
- Wonder Woman: Why was Captain Kirk in this film? Also seen on cheap day. Annoyed because people kept telling me it was feminist, but it was the same old same old.
- A Wrinkle in Time: This film sucked eggs. I can’t even remember him. At least Oprah was in it. Love Oprah.
- There’s free popcorn on cheap day for rewards members, so no multiplier effect.
Amount I’ve spent just on seeing Richard Armitage in Ocean’s 8:
- 3 premiere night tickets @$14 = $42.
- 2 cheap day tickets @5 = $10.
- Free popcorn = same on cheap day.
- One order of french fries, one order of onion rings, one large soda = $17 total.
- In the words of those 1990s MasterCard commercials: PRICELESS.
Me + Richard Armitage 
I’m going today too! We will enjoy it together (sort of). Have a good time!

French Fries! I’m jealous – but do you get jalapeños with your hotdogs? I spent $2.00 on Chris Pine in Wonder Woman, because that’s what films in Mexico cost and we mostly get that sort of blockbuster here. I found his other films elsewhere on line or TV. A stopped watching A Wrinkle in Time after 20 minutes. I think he has nice eyes. He’s right up there with the long eyelash crowd. I avoided spending between $ 50 and $ 75 on a driver to see Ocean’s 8, because last minute a friend agreed to drive, but I treated for tickets and popcorn/drinks/hotdogs – so overall, I spent $ 10.00 on Ocean’s 8 so far, for three people. I will check out Guylty’s challenge. Haven’t so far.

We do not get jalapeños with our hotdogs. However, the fries come with chipotle ranch dipping sauce. We can also order deep fried cheese curds.
Wrinkle in Time — there were a few bright moments, but by changing Meg’s fundamental issue from her struggle to deal with her intelligence to fears about her appearance / body, they ruined the whole thing for me. I so identified with book Meg, and while this Meg was very nice (and I thought the casting of an African American girl and using her to illustrate Meg’s “hair” issues was brilliant), she didn’t have the same relatability to me.
I hope the film makes it to your local cinema pronto.

Hard to tell when it will come. Jurassic seems to be next big one, but the smaller theater is still promising Ocean’s 8 soon. I can walk there and there will be a show in English every day at 3:30. These are the times I wish I had a car because it was really easy, though it took just under an hour, to drive to the mall where the theater I chose is. My friends here, as a rule, just don’t think of driving to see a movie they want to see if it isn’t playing locally. I may lobby to change that but we have a person here who has connections ( or talent) and provides digital copies of every film out, though a little later. People here get used to waiting. I’m not that good at it when it comes to Armitage.
I never read A Wrinkle in Time, so I had nothing to judge. I loved the animation, I had a legitimate on demand version, so great quality, but it was too fanciful for me.

I saw Captain Underpants today – along with every child at a DayCamp nearby. Potty humor and freed Skittles all over. Super cheap! Under the circumstances, I found it oddly appropriate.
I have spent 0.00 on Chris Pine. Really. I plan on seeing Oceans 8 at the matinee on Friday,

The only movie I’ve seen with Chris Pine in it is Wonder Woman on Netflix. Subscription is AUD9.95 per month, so if my maths is correct, for a 2.5hr movie, my CP expenditure comes to 3 cents. Less when you consider he wasn’t on screen for the whole movie. 😉

Great you could get through Wonder Woman. I stopped watching it 20 minutes in when he emerged naked from the hot tub/spring, just felt ugh..

I confess to knitting and playing word games on my iPad while the movie was on so it wasn’t exactly holding my interest! 😉

I heard the reason that they wrote that character in was that they didn’t think anyone would watch a movie that had a female superhero as the lead. He had to be in it because Wonder Woman wasn’t strong enough to headline a movie. Be that as it may, they more or less ensured that a lot of people won’t watch the second one. If I’m going to watch that movie, I want Wonder Woman running the show — not Captain Kirk who makes smarmy sex jokes.

Indeed — this is an example of an effective self-deprecating joke. That said, there are probably relatively few people in such a good position to evaluate Armitage’s work as Schiller.
