I have a question for Spanish speakers:
how come the name of the country is written Mexico but pronounced Mekhico?
Isn't the 'x' pronounced as 'sh' in Spanish? Shouldn't it be written Mejico?
"X" has three pronunciations in Spanish, the most common of them being the "ks" sound we use in English or "s". The "h" pronunciation is apparently restricted to certain proper nouns. The "sh" sound comes from Catalan/Basque/indigenous words (mostly place names).

but why, movie gives a good topic to discuss at dinner, and depending on what you ate, there could be gases at the movie, no?
:lol2: "Gases at the movies" you're awesome.

No man, you dine with your friends/girlfriend, plenty of things to discuss if the person is cool and fun since you are then the girl you're taking out must be fun, hit the movie, leave little space for pop-corn/nachos and drinks, after the movie you can discuss how good or bad it was while taking a walk or in a car or even in bed :D

Movie then dinner, as Elvin said, it gives you fun things to discuss over dinner. But that's just me, we have some of our most philosophical discussions when we go to movies then dinner.
