IF I go to the cinema it has to be something I really want to watch. Last went to watch Senna at my local indie place.

IF I feel peckish etc I'll take my own stuff. That includes a bottle of red (took one when watching Downfall). Who cares? I'm not going in there to look at other people.

Just go about 3 weeks down the line, the cinema will be near enough empty and it is still the same movie...same prices too sadly but this is what me and my mates do most of the time.

No point rushing out to see the film.

I think this would be an appropriate use of 'jesus titty fking christ!'.

Well, I quite like going to the cinema. Although it has to be said, I only ever go to see kids' films! We normally go for the pre-lunchtime showing of anything we want to see. The way the seats are arranged at the Vue cinema in Reading, coupled with the fact that those showings rarely have lots of people at them, means that I can usually block out any interruptions from people needing the loo halfway through. (Though I'll never understand why people want to bring newborns to see a film...)

The only films that I'd probably prefer to see at home are the ones that appeal to teenagers as well. They're much more likely to be disruptive and talk throughout the film than anyone else. The little kids are better behaved!

So essentially, I like the cinema as long as it's a good film. If the film is rubbish (Barnyard, I'm looking at you!) I can't just switch it off and send it back to Lovefilm - I have to stay to the end otherwise I feel it's a waste of money.

I see op is in london.

It totaly depends where the cinema is and the demographic that attends.

Student days were a long time ago!

It used to be that you could use the ticket machines for the student option, however suffice to say people were abusing this. As such, you need to pay at the counter with presentation of valid NUS card to claim student discount. My student card expired in 2008.

FWIW, I watched Titanic 3D. Gf's request though I do think it's actually quite a decent film.

Cinema was the Odeon in Camden Town. I won't be going back in a hurry.

So it's back open as a cinema then? Went to some pretty heavy-duty raves there in the mid-90s when it closed down as a cinema and was just a vacant building. Very heavy duty, bordering on the terrifying.

i watch all my films on my projector (1080p) and surround sound whilst recumbent on leather recliners - well worth the sacrifice of a spare bedroom. I went to the cinema a while back as a one off and was shocked at the poor quality of the screen and the general experience was as described by others - Horrid.

I would simply not entertain hanging round with the plebs again, eurgh....

Sounds like bks to me. If you want to keep it, buy the DVD/CD.

It seems to be worse on a few I've seen recently, although primarily DVDs for the kids.

So I've just paid through the nose for this DVD. You then proceed to give me half an hour of adverts pushing other Disney stuff down our throats. All my son wanted was to watch Cars.

So, just as per the image - this is why, despite owning the DVDs, I've got the PS3 loaded up with 720p MP4 versions. Start up PS3. Click play on whichever one - done.
