Or "But be careful, he's got an itchy trigger finger." 

Thank you!

And exactly my thought. And watching it in 3D, it's really frustrating every time someone walks in front of you, you get pulled out of it. 

I think it was one of those events where people who know people, or is someone, get free tickets... so I guess they care less about the whole thing; rather than people like me who have been waiting exactly 2 years and spent twice of a 'normal' 3D ticket to see it. I felt even worse for the girls from Germany and the one girl I talked to who traveled from Romania just to go to the premiere and a chance to see Mads. 

Shoot me, but I'm convinced that nowadays most people just aren't able to sit still and concentrate on one particular thing anymore. As much as I love the internet and all the positive things that come with it, I also believe that all this technical progress makes people twitchy and also more inconsiderate.
For most movies I don't bother to go to the cinema anymore. Too much noise and all that.  And I used to loooooove to go to sold out sneak previews... but today I only would go to one of those if I knew that Benedict or David Tennant will show up. 

People making all kinds of noises in the cinema and walking in and our during the film are one of my pet peeves and the main reason why I don't go to the cinema more often. Fortunately the audience at the German premiere of Doctor Strange was quite attentive. Some people left during the credits so they missed the bonus scenes but maybe they had to catch the last train or bus or something. The film started late because we had a Q&A with Benedict, Tilda and Scott and they were a bit behind their schedule. Benedict had an extremely busy day in Berlin with photo calls, interviews and even an unplanned break due to a fire alarm! Seems he is so hot when he enters a building the alarm goes off! 

Anyway, I just wanted to share some pictures I took during the Q&A. That third row seat was a little too close to the screen for my liking but perfect for gazing at Tilda and Benedict. 

Oh Diva, I'm so envious! And those pictures are amazing!!

Interesting screenings, Phantom and Diva! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Well, in my cinema there were lots of young men, giggling before the film started and during the trailers. So I was getting quite nervous that they would keep going on like that but once the film has started, it became very quiet. Laughter in the right moments, apart from that mostly stunned silence. And when I left afterwards, I passed a group of young guys and every second word I heard was "geil" (a colloquial German expression of enthusiasm also meaning "horny").  

So, they were saying Doctor Strange made them horny?  *giggle*  

I always liked that word, 'Geil'!

(BTW, this might be a bit spoilery but I'm trying my best... we're in a spoiler thread anyway...)

I was lucky this time... okay the first 5 minutes were hell with people coming in late, having to use their phones as flashlights... there were a few people looking at their phones during the movie... 
and I nearly lost it when the couple close to me started shaking their nacho trays to get the last bits. 

It should be illegal! But comparing to yesterday this went well! Okay... the cinema was only 1/3 full. Then again it was an afternoon screening on a work day. And it wasn't the 3D Imax version either. 

Which reminds me... I am glad I got to experience it in 3D, If you ever should watch one, that is one where it works. (only seen one other 3D film so yeah). But the effects still actually seemed 3D ish in this version. 

Oh... and I spotted one error today in the film that irked me... Christine was wearing nailpolish in the hospital. I as a secretary wasn't even allowed to wear nailpolish when I worked at a hospital. 

But maybe it tells you something that THAT was what stood out for me. 

I'm pretty blown away by this. And I can't wait for more from Doctor Strange in the future. I want to see where they take him next. While we have a few clues now having seen the post credit clips... 

He's an interesting character, and they did do that justice. It was nice to see his evolution and there was some cosmic jokes being played on him. Being faced with his own treatment when he himself needed the help... 

I liked that it was 'cartoony' they did a nice job as that. It still worked as a feature film but there were times where he looked like an action figure because of the perspective and I thought that was really cool. Not denying where he comes from! 

There was even (Not sure if it was intentional or not) nod to Sherlock... other than some of his overconfident behavior... I don't want to say it because it's better to experience it. But I only for a brief moment thought about Sherlock. This was Doctor Stephen Strange... coincidentally played by the same actor. 

There were some very, extremely trippy scenes and watching it in 3D actually nearly gave me motion sickness. 

Also... I need some help from people who have seen it. My best friend was supposed  to come with me today but she's still in psych ward, not doing too well... She's schizophrenic and often have psychosis, also why she's in the psych ward now... I'm not really an expert but I wonder if certain scenes could be bad for her... as in triggering her illness.

Could someone who's seen it help me out? I sort of want to 'keep her away' from it until she's much, much more stable.  

 

SEEING IT TONIGHT! 

Apologies if this has already been posted here or elsewhere on the Forum but I just spotted this ad for Norelco razors on TV last night and wanted to share.  Short and sweet and made me smile.
