Saturday: Fine, I'll go to a different theater! One run by kids!

I tried to go to the Kahala theater.  The line was like a million people long, and every ticket purchase was the same cycle of "X for Y." "Do you have the rewards card thing?" "Oh, yes, let me get it out." "Sure, take all the time you need." "Here it is!" "Please sign here."  "Ok."  "Here are your tickets!  Enjoy the show!"

I was already cutting it too close, and I eventually decided that I was going to miss part of the movie, and that that wasn't acceptable, so back to the car and out to Koko Marina.  The kids who run that place don't really care about anything, and really just want you to not be bothering them.

Also there's ice cream, anyway.
I also don't understand why Kahala had a 1:15 and then nothing until a 5:15.  What is up with that?  Koko Marina had like one every hour or so.  One of which was at 2:15, making time for the ice cream.  Or sorbet.  Blueberry sorbet.

I had so much trouble with this gym, because it kept deciding I was too far away and probably drowning.

It's boring to keep putting the same two Pokemon in the gym, every other trainer ever.

Fourteen.  I thought today how weird it would be if I was able to have gyms on two continents.
Wonder Woman is good, more movies should be made like this.  It's a bit long, but they have to do the whole origin story, then move her to the war, then have her punch the war in the face until it dies, so it's understandable.  Chris Pine understands that his role is to look pretty and do exposition, and he does it well.  I would have preferred more Etta Candy, but that's because she's objectively awesome me.  "Wait, is that Remus Lupin?"  Yes it is.  "Why does Antiope look so familiar?" Because she's Buttercup from Princess Bride.

I still have no interest in seeing the Justice League movie.  I do like how the trailer makes it look like Diana is in charge of setting things up, because that makes sense.  She's been around for a hundred years at that point.  In fact, I now want to see a new movie that tells the story of all the previous movies from her perspective.  Just Diana, sitting at her desk, reading the news.  "Huh.  Spaceguy seems to be doing a decent job.  I'm sure he can take care of whatever the problem is in that horrible first movie they should really drop."  "Wow, that vigilante that Totally Isn't Bruce Wayne, Because OMG Fucking Duh seems to be sorting out crime, even if it is particularly violent."    "Guess I have to go make sure they don't break too much shit."

To be fair, I saw that Superman movie on a bus in Taiwan, because charter buses just show bootleg copies of movies, I guess.  I also caught part of the previous Superman movie last week.  Brandon Routh is under-rated in that.  Part of that may be me glossing over problems because of how crazy his new DC stuff is.  Kevin Spacey is still awful, though.

Also, Aquaman is going to be awful, no matter what they do.

I didn't know what to get for dinner, until I realized that I have a routine.
