The fairer half didn't want to go, but loved it and didn't stop talking about if after.
One thing that did irk me a bit was the action sequences. They put them together like they did in Quantim of Solace where the camera flits around so quickly you can't follow what's happening.
I thought I was going to have a stroke at one point.

You made me go back and check my grammarness.
Sorry. I will bring fresh homemade cake for all the Sheffield lot the next time I visit. My weird OCD-like tendencies won't let me leave it at home.
By the way... anyone any news / opinions on Terminator Salvation - I suspect I'm one of the few who rather liked T3 - but I'm not sure what to make of the latest installment. Getting in Christian Bale was a good sign but the adverts all look a bit "Transformers" and it's directed by someone who calls himself McG ferfucksake!
Mind you, I'm also backwards enough to still be impressed by the CGI in T2. To me, the effects still compare favourably with most modern blockbusters - they just seem incredibly well integrated into the action. There isn't the obvious "CGI set-piece" thing you got in the likes of the LOTR series, the new Star Wars films, King Kong etc where everything just seems to have a slight outline with obviously blue-screened actors. I guess the director was just sensible enough not to exceed the limitations of the available technology.

You made me go back and check my grammarness. I always get of and off mixed up
(implying Magpie was going to do the stroking and the person next to her would be strokee) as opposed the SA Chris who had Maggers as the strokee.

Changeling sounds good.
