So I belong to a thing with one of the local cinemas (well, it’s a chain, not local-local, but, y’know, in the area), Cineworld. They’ve got an Unlimited card, where for €21 a month you can go to however many movies you want. There’s a monthly newsletter and sometimes they send surveys. I just got a survey, which is so asinine I felt obliged to call Cineworld out on it on Twitter and just can’t stop myself from replicating it (in text form) here.

Picoreview: GI Joe: Retaliation:
I usually pick up Total Film and Empire, because I like movie industry articles, and this month’s TF had a 100 Greatest Villains & Heroes thing. Fifty of each. And on the exceedingly unlikely chance anybody cares that much, I’m going to put the reveals behind a cut, because I don’t want to spoil anything for anybody.
