Go 2/3 times a month and will never stop going
Only way to watch films if you really love movies
Watching a movie on a grainy copy on your cpmputer with sound lagging and some afro guy in the way, no thanks
Need to give each film a chance

£7.50 (my cinema is about £6.50) is such a cheap night out in my book ;-)

ps: agree abuit adverts, thats why i bookk online, get a nice aisle seat in the middle in prime position and turn up 15 mins after supposed to start (never missed any of film yet) ;-)

If everyone is so ruled by how expensive it is:

Drink at home first (I have a few sometimes, get the missus to drive - women shouldnt drink anyway)
Takeaway afterwards - you kidding? that has nothing to do with cinema...
Taxi (drive/get someone else to drive)

cost £6.50 each ;-) (although i do end up paying most times)
people who dont go to cinema dont love movies (NAP)

That quote of £36 was probably 15 years ago.

If we don't go out we don't get a takeaway afterwards.

I have133 films on DVD listed on my PC, and about 200 VHS films listed on my old PC. These lists have not been updated for a year.

cinema is only really for the "going out" people. you know the ones...they dont pop in the pub for a few pints and a game of pool...they "go out". the type who go to a crappy restaurant and pay £30 for a microwaved lasagne.

the OP hit it on the head for me, full of noisy mindless idiots either on the phone or chatting away throughout the film with their mates

being charged £4 for a very small popcorn and £3 for a coke is a joke too: have been told in the past i can't take my own food in, what if i don't want to eat the crap they sell? the only thing on offer that is not packed full of sugar is a bottle of water, and even that was £2.50 for a small one

they can go feck themselves

I'd completely agree with that, too many people eating buckets of popcorn or noisy sweet bags etc.
noisy ** teenagers, people talking.....so if we want to see a film now usually go in the afternoons,
take the missuss out for lunch and then to the cinema. It's a good afternoon out,
better than going in the evenings, and usually only about 20 - 40 people in the cinema.
