Does anybody else have this issue, where you watch a ****ty girlie movie to please your wife then she falls asleep, usually on you so you can't go get the remote, then you end up watching the entire girlie flick on your own?
I sometimes watch a girlie film at the pictures with the wife, couple of em have been ok so no chance of her falling asleep there mind.
If she fell asleep while watching it at home id wake her up and tell her to get to ****in bed if your tired.

Regarding horror movies.

When I was about 14 I saw 'House on haunted hill' at the Odeon I think. It was really scary.
I saw it again a couple of years ago on TV and it was crap.

When I saw 'Carrie' when it first came out I nearly **** myself at the very end when the hand came out of the grave. It was the first time I saw this often copied nowadays theme where you think it's all over (it is now) and are getting ready to leave.

The type of film that I find horrifying now are those like 'Holocaust' with the casual violence and mass crimes committed. The offhand way the concentration camps operated I just can't comprehend. Like ISIS now, the evil that men do is far worse than horror pictures.

Wouldn't she let go of the remote then?

I'm always amazed at how many blokes admit to enjoying chick-flicks. When they could be doing the housework!

No.

There used to be loads of Cinema's in my teens, Picture House, Plaza, Gaumont and Millfield for instance.
I never got to the Hendon area much when I was young.
I was at Pennywell then Newcastle road area from the mid 60's.

Or, you very s-l-o-w-l-y stretch and get the remote, relax, wait, change channels. . . . . .
and she wakes up & says "I was watching that"
