Default It's no surprise people download Films !!

I went to watch the new batman film .. I know 4 weeks later ..

I paid £7 for a ticket ... £7 ! and then spent from 10 pm to 10:30pm (10 being the advertised start time ).. watching adverts ! Not trailers ! Adverts for things like coffee and **** !!

I think I'll stick to downloading films rather than paying to see adverts !

I warned people on here that the film was crap to start with

Waste of bandwidth too I expect the adverts were better entertainment

I always download films, but that's because you don't get films like 'Nuns in batter' etc in the cinema

I can't see why anyone would want to go sit in a crappy cinema with people coughing, eating, texting and whispering to eachother all the way through a film, I'd much rather wait till it came out on Bluray and watch it in the comfort of my own home cinema room.

Me too, plus I always get the tall bloke with the bushy hair in front of me and the smelly bloke next to me, my bum always goes numb and I can never hear the dialogue properly. On the other hand at home I can lay out in comfort on my huge and comfy sofa, drink JD, pause it whilst I pop to the kitchen to refill my glass and have the volume at whatever level I choose

I don't have one of these newfangled bluray thingies or a home cinema room though, just a plain old DVD player in the lounge or kitchen for me

Apart from clubbing (and even then only using VIP areas) mixing with common people is wholly unappealling to me. And probably rather unhealthy when considering how easily germs are spread in todays world.

One of the advantages of living in a town filled mainly with scum is that they would rather download films than watch them in the local cinema so the cinema is usually almost empty. A bit like having my own cinema room, but with more expensive pick and mix.

Me and the missus were in london for a couple of nights, staying right on Leicester Square, and I decided to treat us to the latest Indianna Jones flick at the big Odean. £29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder the place was deserted. Cracking audio-visual experience after our local poxy mini multiplex.

I went to a big cinema multiplex in Rugby with my friend Ady a few years ago and we were the only two people in there, it was excellent, we loaded up on sweets and snacks and munched our way loudly through the film

£13 well spent if it saved you having to go and sit through it

10,000% mark up on popcorn it's said, in fact the cardboard box is more costly than the popcorn in it. Cinemas are a complete rip-off.

Am I the only one who hates going to the cinema because they dont turn all the lights off because of "heath + Safety"

A couple of times I have ended up directly below a spotlight and it looks like I am going to be beemed of in to space
