Hmm, Boots (huge pharmacist/etc chain in the UK) seems to have decided that their advertising campaigns are targeted entirely at women, as a lot of their ads play pretty unsubtly upon the "lol silly males" angle. The ads often have a man acting slightly stupidly about their health (most recent example - refusing to admit he needed glasses) and women being the voices of reason and often exchanging amused/patient looks with each other. Their theme music is "Here come the girls", which sort of labours the point.
I can see why they've done it to some degree, as they have a huge focus on beauty products, which is primarily aimed at women. They've probably just decided to play to their main market
Cass it might be a good idea for you to look into movies more before going to see them. Because Black Swan is some freaky shit and it setting you off was bound to happen.
I usually use these Christian review sites because they not only say 'oh there's violence' they give really specific examples of the violence. But sometimes those fail me, like in Inception. And sometimes I want to be a real girl and go out for a night with friends without research and consideration for these things (which is stupid but eh)
i'd love to wear contacts because i hate my glasses
but i am a giant wuss about things touching my eye so trying to put in contacts is this lengthy and uncomfortable process making them impractical for me

Alternately you should only watch Pixar films.
I love kids movies. So much. I went to see Tangled and Megamind this year and I loved them both. Here's the thing though: I am the biggest pussy ever. So like, at the end of Tangled, I was totally out and out crying. If I was not surrounded by tiny little kids I would have been happily bawling. This is a good thing, I really enjoy crying at the end of a movie and then oh it's ok everyone gets together and there's a party! I cried like three times at How to Train Your Dragon it was wonderful.

Eh, what Pony says makes sense I guess. And you're toughening up, which is good.
Personally, I wouldn't go to a movie with the intent to, as Pony said, endure it. I'd rather enjoy something than make it a benchmark, especially when dropping money on it.
With safesearch off the first three photos that came up for me were completely innocuous; the one I linked, the second was smaller but the woman looked very similar, and the third was a totally average looking arabic man and woman who are simply looking at one another, and the heels gal was #4.
I often think situations like this exist purely to make people laugh.
John Birch Society. Right wing wack jobs of the highest order.
haha this guy claimed that it's egotistical of me to ask him not to cite the Birchers' rag, and that I had no right to do so
I'm not sure what he's thinking, but it certainly is amusing!
Birchers? People who are convinced that the birch trees in DC were really transplanted from somewhere else?
John Birch Society. Basically, the people who opposed Goldwater in 1964 because they thought he was too liberal.
And it turns out that it's egotistical because I'm claiming my judgment of news sites is superior to his, and by asking him not to use sites I don't like, I'm forcing my opinions on him.

I never have them put the butter shit on popcorn at the theatre. It's already butter flavored without that shit.
Depends on the theater. The ones around here start with just straight popcorn, which is nice for those of us who just want a tiny bit of butter and salt, rather than gobs of it. Though you have to watch the attendants like a hawk to make sure they don't gob it on when you ask for 'just a tiny bit of butter'. Apparently tiny = 1/4c for a medium bag of popcorn. :x

see that's what I thought! But no, it was really dry and little bits of popcorn got stuck in my mouth! So Aaron's like "Don't worry I'll go get some butter shit on it" but it mostly tasted synthetic and weird and not at all buttery and then everyone ate the top layer and we were back at step one.
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS FOR THEATRE FOOD WOOOOOO

Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't. Nobody ever thought that that's what it meant. Nobody ever voted for that. If the current society wants to outlaw discrimination by sex, hey we have things called legislatures, and they enact things called laws.

I will not be mocked by a seven year old shit
I got misty-eyed at several scenes in WALL-E and Up.
one of the worst movie-going decisions I've ever made was seeing Up with a bro in a theater full of children. I cried so fucking hard. And, bless his heart, the bro didn't say a word.
theater food long ago passed the equilibrium where you charge more for something because you need the revenue vs. charging less for something to sell more by volume

Well to be fair, equality for women was most certainly not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

really? you relish in a young girl in a theatre alone, surrounded by men, having her popcorn forcibly eaten?
you disgust me arch.
Also I think a new keyboard may be the next purchase -_-
I can see why they've done it to some degree, as they have a huge focus on beauty products, which is primarily aimed at women. They've probably just decided to play to their main market

mmmmmmmm i am relishing like a new york hot dog right now
eh, not really
this is my snack
Have you only ever had the theater variety?

i'd love to wear contacts because i hate my glasses

Yes.

New York hot dogs are alright, but I HATE what they do to their onions here.
I still think the Carolina preparation (mustard, slaw, chili, onion) is the superior hot dog.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...

@Pony: I'm glad! You deserve laughter too.
no

contacts are pretty nice
