Things.

Watching Midnight In Paris, and enjoying it greatly -- but I had to stop, mid-scene, because of my embarrassment squick.  I really, really cannot stand to watch characters in awkward or humiliating situations, and the protagonist had blundered straight into one.

I really hope I'll be able to come back to it later and watch the rest of the film.

Calmed my butt down

and watched the rest of the movie.  I generally find Woody Allen unwatchable, but this one felt different.  And I found the caricatures of Hemingway and Dali hysterical.  Very glad I watched this (although I did have to skip the scene in question, I skimmed the very end of the embarrassing bit to make sure I didn't miss anything substantial, and I did not).
