Can't remember the last time I went to the flicks. My mrs wont watch anything 'scary. and I won't go to films rated under 18 because of noisy facking teenagers
Report Partridge • January 29, 2010 11:38 PM GMT
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)

beats spending £80+ each time going out too often on lash if we're taling about money ;-)

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.

Love films - hate the cinema

ten pin bowling is a bit of a con job too.
£7.50 for a game
Report cunnybobbler • January 30, 2010 10:37 AM GMT
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.
Report Gambler's ruin • January 30, 2010 11:04 AM GMT
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.
