Wearing my Magneto t-shirt when I go to see Days of Future Past: awesomely geeky or embarrassingly geeky?

ah, payday
Jun. 11th, 2014 05:26 pmI finally got to see X-Men: Days of Future Past (and yes, I wore my Magneto t-shirt).
( thoughts under the cut, with big spoilers )
After the movie I treated myself to ice cream at a new place near the movie theater. Their schtick is that they mix the ice cream fresh with each order and freeze it instantly with liquid nitrogen. It's a bit poncey, and also rather expensive, but the ice cream is fantastic. The texture is gorgeously creamy and the taste is wonderfully fresh and intense. I had the honey lavender, about which I was very excited because I love lavender ice cream and it's not easy to find. They offer a bunch of other cool flavors like honey rose, tamarindo, and Mayan chocolate (which I presume has chiles in it), so going there may be my new (occasional, because one small scoop costs as much as a pint of Ben & Jerry's) treat.
On the subject of prices: 9 dollars for a movie matinee? It's like they don't want people to go to the movies. And for some reason a number ofidiots confused parents had brought their small children with them. I don't care if it's rated PG-13, this is not a movie for your four-year-old! And the four-year-old in question proved it by talking quite a lot during the movie.
My obvious solution would seem to be going later, but there are still usually a bunch of kids in the audience, because kids apparently don't have bedtimes anymore. And if you go really late, which is difficult for me because of my working hours, then you get a bunch of rowdy teenagers and drunk college students who make as much noise as little kids. /curmudgeon
