Solo Cinema

Tonight I rediscovered a forgotten pleasure.
With my wife and child absent from the family home this evening I found myself at an unexpected loose end. So I took myself off to the cinema. I took myself. No-one for company. And what bliss that is.
The film? I monumental triumph of the celluloid artform. A searing, burning stare into the jaws of one eighteenth century woman's quest for knowledge, acceptance and sexual awakening. Breathtakingly beautiful, the critics have called it.
Hang on, wait... I must have gone in the wrong door. There's a man in a spacesuit and...omigosh, he can F-L-Y and shoot fire from outta his hands.
I get a night to myself and you think that I'm gonna spend it on anything intellectual? No way, sister. Just me, an international-size bucket of popcorn and IRON MAN on the big screen. Way better than the Ted Hughes version.
