Preamble
Kicking yourself for your own stupidity is not a great mood to be in when watching a film. Toddling along on Satuday at 6.30, I handed my ticket to the usher only to discover to my horror that the three noisy kids in front of me were also waiting for the same screen to be cleaned. And only after I'd sat down did I realise I'd be missing the new episode of Doctor Who! (I did manage to get home in time to catch the confidential, which then spoilt the repeat for me!)

Missing lines from the trailer: 1, but the replacement line is much better.
OQ: There’s always a choice.
Score: B
