When is the last time you went to a movie theater to see a movie?

warmweatherwoman @warmweatherwoman (2232) • Atlantic City, New Jersey 4 Apr 13

The cost of going to a movie theater has sky rocketed in my opinion. I remember when it was $5.00 per ticket plus their overpriced candy, soda and popcorn. Now its more like $17.00 per person plus the cost of the...

EnslinPorter The last time I went to see a film was November last year to see Skyfall. I enjoy the movie theater experience but I only see the films I really really like and look forward to. Often, many movies are available on HBO a year after the release date. I don't...

EnslinPorter I love movies too and it would be impossible for me to choose one. I watch movies of different genres and sometimes, those outside my comfort zone. I enjoy romantic comedies although I don't get to watch a lot. Maybe you've seen them already but...

who can call you by your name?

pomwango @pomwango (1353) • Kenya 26 Mar 13

i find it abit weird that some parents dont mind being called by their names by their kids,i think this is wrong and disrespectful,its good to have your kids address you as dad or mom,as for relations its also good to address them...

EnslinPorter I think too that it's disrespectful for a child to call his/her parents and older relatives (except cousins maybe) by their first name. It would be appropriate to call them by title. We have one odd situation though. My older brother is around 5 or 6 years...

Do you use a bookmark when you are reading?

youless @youless (114113) • Guangzhou, China 21 Mar 13

Normally I don't use a bookmark when I am reading. I just fold the page. However, since lately I often borrow books from the library. So now I will use a bookmark instead. Because the books from the library are very new and I hope...

EnslinPorter I use bookmarks all the time. I'm not a vast reader so I tend to read a book over many months(or years). I prefer using a bookmark over folding the page. I like my books to be free of creases. If I run out of bookmarks, I just use a receipt or any other sheet...

EnslinPorter That's totally fine. I shop like that too. I don't find it cheap but rather, frugal and smart. As they say, a penny saved is a penny earned. What you can save can be used for something else important. I'm currently following a diet to reduce weight and it...

Do you still find time watching movies nowadays?

angelkarah050182 @angelkarah050182 (4980) • Philippines 28 Sep 12

The last time I went to a movie theater was last July this year. I watched Ice Age 4 together with my son and my youngest sister. That's already months from now. I wonder when can I go to the movie theater again. In my hometown,...

EnslinPorter I only watch movies in theaters occasionally. I have some bit of free time but my real reason for not watching often is that I find it quite expensive. I see you're from the Philippines too. I'm in Metro Manila and the average cost of seeing a film in the...

Big Sale Tomorrow!

Toni @toniganzon (80345) • Philippines 13 Sep 12

I usually don't like shopping when there's a big sale. I hate crowded malls and waiting in a very long queue. But tomorrow, we're heading out to the mall for it's first day of the three day sale. I must because I have to go...

EnslinPorter I also don't like shopping when there's a big sale. First of all, I really hate the crowd. I can't walk in peace. I always have to walk then move my body sideways, be cautious not to bump anyone, and so on. It's not a good stroll on the mall. Oh, and yes, the...

EnslinPorter Don't listen to them. First of all, the main function of a phone is for communication, not taking pictures. Yes, it's nice if the phone has a camera and it can be useful at times but even if a phone has many awesome features yet it can't make/receive calls and...

EnslinPorter I sometimes get to watch old films and TV shows when they're on TV. There was one time when I looked up several classic movies and I decided to watch some of those. Some of these films were The Godfather trilogy (1972+), Shawshank Redemption (1994), 12 Angry...

What is your favourite Bond Movie?

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • United Kingdom 18 Nov 06

There are so many to choose from, but Living Daylights is one of my favourites, I like Timothy Dalton and I love the music.

1 response

EnslinPorter My favorite Bond movie was Licence to Kill but later on, I geared towards The Living Daylights and I like it more. I like Timothy Dalton too and yes, the music as well. The theme of The Living Daylights by A-Ha has got to be one of the best Bond songs. The...

Who is the best bond for you?

stanley777 @stanley777 (9401) • Philippines 11 Oct 11

I just watched Live and Let Die yesterday starring Roger Moore and thought to myself that there were lots of actors who have played Bond and most of them were quite good. But for me Pierce Brosnan is the best since he played it...

EnslinPorter It's quite hard to choose who's the best Bond. I've only seen Bond films last year because of HBO Asia's Bond Evolution. They showed all Bond films from Dr. No up to Die Another Day. Watching all movies from Dr. No, I'd say Sean Connery because he was the...

Are you aware of the dangers of junk food?

marguicha @marguicha (230518) • Chile 22 May 12

Many times we simply grab a hamburger or a pizza, or any other junk food to fill our tummies the quick way. I don´t go much to fast food chains, but I confess to all sorts of sandwichs when I eat alone. If it´s not a well balanced...

Do you oblige your children to repay you?

lynpreety @lynboobsy11 (11343) • Philippines 19 May 12

EnslinPorter For me, I don't think it's the obligation of children to repay the parents. I'm from the Philippines too but I guess I'm lucky to be in a family where my mom is different and won't do that. For her, we (my brother and I) don't have to repay her since it was...

how do you choose where to put a "plus" at a response?

marguicha @marguicha (230518) • Chile 16 May 12
