Never going to the cinema again
 
As I was at a loose end tonight, I decided to see the latest installment of Harry Potter.

It is the last time I will ever go to a cinema again ever.

There was only me, and it cost me about 16 quid for a ticket, sweets and a drink. I would hate to think whats its like for a family of 4 http://www.britishblades.com/forums/...es/shocked.gif

Needless to say, the seats uncomfortable, the PA was way to loud and the screen image was poo.

To put this is comparison, a DVD will cost me the same amount, and I can watch it over and over again, and I can watch it in High def.

Added to that the bonus of not having kids around who for some unknown reason decide to talk through the good bits and stay quiet as mice through the detritus.


And don't get me started on the smell of popcorn! ewwwwwwwww..


If I'm there on a date, all I can say is I better be getting bloody laid afterwards.

Me and the missus went to the vue cinema in plymouth, £12 for 2 tickets and £14 for two lots of nachos and a drink:eek: to top it off harry potter was crap:mad:

Suckers.

:D

SiPie 22 July 2007 11:06 PM

to be expected really....falling audiences due to DVD's, pirate copies and microwaveable popcorn ;)

Those Cinemas that are still in business need to get their cash somehow

I went to the i-max cinema, seen the last 20 minutes in 3d ......... well worth it IMHO ;)

fatherpierre 22 July 2007 11:08 PM

Last time I went to the cinema was in 1999 to see The 6th Sense with my then new bird.

Married to her now and still refuse to go and get ripped off :D

Are you Scottish perchance ? You come across tighter than my old man & by foof he's tight when it comes to spending money. Even tries to get a discount when paying for fuel :D

Mick 22 July 2007 11:12 PM

Agreed - definately too loud! - especially the commercials - often find myself wincing with aural discomfort...

- abit cheaper 'ooop north' though less than £5 a ticket!

English, and far from tight, I think.........:D

Just not a cinema fan. Rip off merchants.

If/when a good film does come out this year (has been the worst I can remember with only Die Hard 4.0 standing out) we pay £4.95 and go on a Wednesday for the BOGOF from Orange, which offsets the £3.85 for popcorn :D Still love the spectacle of the cinema, even though I have an AV system at home, but we only ever go midweek, early in the day and outside of the brats prison breaks, and never in the first week or two of anything major :nono:

I disagree actually, throw in a meal before hand and a good film and you've the recipe for a great night out.

Its not just about going to see the film, its the social experience.

I do like the atmosphere of going to the cinema, but you just have to avoid getting food there. It has always cost far too much. Relax, stretch the night out. Have food before or after, it will cost less, be nicer and make the evening last longer :thumb:

Jaybird-UK 22 July 2007 11:31 PM

Getting excited like a big kid over Transformers!

defo a cinema experience film :)

I still think its funny that people go on a date to the cinema

So they can sit next to each other in darkness and not talk for over two hours :D

At least when you come out you instantly have something to talk about without being lost for words.
