Im an accountant. I like accounts. at the weekend id like to watch the accountant.
Was trying to keep count of the amount of times you mentioned accountant or words similar to accountants but my counting is preetty darn crap.
You couldn’t account for your counting of ‘accountant’.
All credit to the debit.
You sound like account too
Every since they brought in the new ‘none of them’ option it’s been the most popular
And it doesn’t even make sense as an answer to the question.
“arrival” will be worth going to the cinema for when it’s out in a few weeks
It’s out next Thursday
Just went to see Dr Strange tonight… very good… Cumberbatch is excellent in it….. you can’t beat a Marvel movie..
@windbag: You can,but it was surprisingly good. Arrival is going to be immense
It’s the most toxic thing my eyes have ever seen
Ben Alfack’s best performance was in South Park.
@BevinArmageddon: Or whatever his name is.
So was “Jenifer Lopez”…
Ah now, he’s good in Gone Girl and The Town
Saw the Accountant a few weeks ago. Fantastic film
None at the cinema. Will hold out for imminent arrival on Showbox. At least Coke and popcorn won’t cost €10
Does showbox actually work for you? Have never got passed 10 minutes without the movie stopping.
@Don Juan: You DON’T have to get coke, popcorn or anything if you don’t want to man.
Get it in a shop and carry it in. The overcharging in cinemas is the price you pay for laziness
Can’t beat the big screen experience sometimes.
Gone with the Wind
Finally.. no mention of Deadpool in the comments… oh wait!! I just ruined that didn’t I!!
Turn off your bloody phones if you do go !
Turn off your bloody phones if you do go !
