Hilary, Trump is a worrying alternative.

Ever walked out of a film halfway through at the cinema after having paid for a ticket?

Never done so, never will

A few times, e.g. A.I. and Memento.

Have you ever been so impressed with a film that you went back to see it again on the same day?

Not the same day at the cinema, although maybe the next day a few times. Back in the days of VHS rental, I rented Magnolia, watched it, returned it then bought it and watched it again on the same day.

I saw Hugo twice in one day.

Are there any actors whose films you would see simply because they are in them?

TBH no not really. I'll watch a film if its interesting enough.
No favoritism in the Jinks camp.

I'm a huge fan of Marion Cotillard. She rarely seems to put a foot wrong.

Favourite spectator sport?

The Great Wall or the Terracotta Warriors in China.

What place would you avoid?

The U.S. The thought of visiting a country where over 70% of the adult population carry firearms puts me right off.

Somewhere like Ibiza or Magluf

What are you getting/expecting for Christmas?

Subject: Re: Getting to know you Fri Dec 02, 2016 11:30 am

Not sure really, the usual mix of books and dvds, which is fine by me. Nothing particular I can think of.
