I have, though I can't say they made as much of an impression on me as Thieves' World did.  My main memory of Wild Cards is having our supers APA reviewed in Comic Buyers Guide #1000 and being compared favorably thereto.  :)

I'm not on the technical side of books and looking up APA didn't help me much.  A little info please?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
10/10, mainly due to the first five minutes with baby Groot dancing.
I've watched it in theaters three times so far.  I rarely watch a movie more than once.

I gave it a 10/10 and I stand by that score.  Even the end credits are pleasant.

APA - Amateur press association.  Essentially, a self-published magazine.

Three times?  That matches my personal best with Dr. Strange.  I did go see Guardians twice, however, which is the second most times I've seen the same movie in the theater.

I usually go to one movie a week.  It's such a habit that even if nothing special comes out for the week, I'd go anyway.  One week with nothing particularly uninteresting debuting, I decided to go see some tripe like "The Crooked Dormer Creep House."  But when I got there I realized I was going to be utterly bored, and Guardians II was still playing from two weeks ago.  On the spur of the moment, I realized that it would be far more entertaining than Creep House, and well worth seeing again anyway.

Guardians II will be out at the Red Box next Tuesday.

I go to the movies maybe 10 times a year. More if a family member drags me out there.  *sees the sunlight, hisses*  So three is big for me.

I usually just go for the big summer superhero blockbuster, an acclaimed sci movie, the latest Star Wars, and something from a francise that I already like.  I never go out on a whim and I'm prone to stay home when a promising movie gets a bad or mediocre reception.  I still haven't seen the latest Resident Evil and I always see those no matter how awful they are.

Three times seen at theater ... only once ... 1977, first Star Wars movie ;-)

The only movies I've gone to see more than once in a theater -- not counting Rocky Horror, of course -- are Jaws, all three Star Wars movies (anything made after A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi doesn't count IMO), Mystery Science Theater: The Movie, Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and Despicable Me.

Movies I would like to see in a theater again are 2001: A Space Odyssey and Fantasia.

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit ... so funny I am still laughing years later.

They got away with a lot in that movie.  Ah, British humo(u)r.

The British aren't a bunch of hypocritical Puritans.  They exiled them to my country.

We watched 'The Martian' on the coach trip home.  Not bad.  Got ridiculous at the end.  The actual stranded part was interesting and fairly well done, the unnecessary and increasing complications on the way to the rescue broke my 'nope' meter.  Would watch the first half again, not so much the second.

got myself 'get out' today, dunno anything about the premise, but heard its terrifying and suspenseful, and some good acting.

I particularly liked that movie a lot, not because it's terrifying and suspenseful, although that's there too.  I gave it high marks for creativity.  Every once in a while, Hollywood comes up with something unique, and sometimes it works.  When it does, it's refreshing to see something that isn't just a redo of the standard plot line written with the aid of a robot consultant.

I personally didn't like it.  I was expecting it to be so wonderful, since everyone was creating this hype about it, but by the end all it got from me was a "meh".
