How are you enjoying Bodacious Space Pirates so far?

No, I haven't seen Wonder Woman or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 yet. Soon.

Soon, or Soon™? ;)

I'm getting through Bodacious Space Pirates very slowly, which I don't think is helping its pacing issues. But it's still cute!

I have a slight issue in that Guardians is now only showing at 10am and 9pm, neither of which are convenient times for cinema-going for us. But maybe on the weekend?

Wonder Woman is just waiting on me to feel like going to the cinema some evening...

I watched it all in one binge, as is my usual wont, and had no issues with the pacing.

I was however, driven quite mad by A Certain Person's posts/reviews about it where they continually complained about the pace, but left weeks to months between each episode. *!Gnnnnnrrrrr!!!!*

The movie was nice, but didn't quite recapture the feel of the show, for me.

(Note: Reading Belmont is a nice cheap cinema, being $10 per session or $12 for the Titan screen, if/when you do decide to go.)

[flamebyrd]

Not a lot actually happens in each ep - at least so far - so I feel binge-watching would work a lot better... (And yeah, it's been years at this point, right? XD)

I will keep Reading Belmont in mind, thanks!
