Cinema Tonight - I've just re-mortgaged!
Discussion
Jesus Christ.
I've just booked two tickets to take my younger brother to see Toy Story 3 tonight.. Yes, the only reason I am taking him is because I don't want to look like a loser going alone.
But bloody hell its expensive!
£10 for just over an hour.. Per Person.
Thats without the rip off popcorn and drinks they charge.
No wonder so many people just download 'em.

why do people spend £xxxx on a decent home A/V set-up then pay extra to go to the cinema? sit next to people they don't want to rub shoulders with in a uncomfortable chair and eat sh-te food and drinks
if you enjoy it then fair enough, but don't moan about it if you don't

Interesting how they only count 'Children' as under 12.
Does that mean a 13 year old is legally classed as an adult in a cinema, so could buy a bottle of cider to enjoy with the film..?
At the bottom of the red box.. "Teenager".. 50p more because your a teenager.Does that mean a 13 year old is legally classed as an adult in a cinema, so could buy a bottle of cider to enjoy with the film..?
Us adults use up more of the seat, obviously.

Toy Story 3 runs for about 1hr 40 mins (excluding adverts)! Take your own drinks/ sweets in!! I always do and never get hassled. The only thing they object to is hot food and camcorders! But bloody hell its expensive!

Yes, I'm a tight git - but I object to paying a fortune for a bucket of flat diet coke! I take my own grub into Vue, Odeon, Cineworld, etc and haven't been challenged.

My wife was at a local cinema a few years back and some guy brought in a 12" pizza, a lot of people look round in disgust, personally I thought it was an awsome idea Yes, I'm a tight git - but I object to paying a fortune for a bucket of flat diet coke!

When we go, I won't sit in those seats for poor people now we have luxury or special seats at our Odeon that I can book on line. No queuing with fat birds and yoofs and no sitting with some obnoxious 
in a hoodie that says 'innit' and toodles his myface on his new Icon4, or whatever it is.
Luverley they are, wide, leg room, and the riff raff get turfed out if they haven't booked them.
Costs a bleedin fortune mind, but if I'm forced to go, it's my way or no way.

Just went to the cinema in Maine, USA while visiting sister. in a hoodie that says 'innit' and toodles his myface on his new Icon4, or whatever it is.Luverley they are, wide, leg room, and the riff raff get turfed out if they haven't booked them.

Theatre had about 15 large tables in, each with 4 reclining/swivel leather chairs around the said table-very comfy. They also had waitresses that came round and took your order for food (burgers and fries etc etc and beer) and the delivered them back to your table!
very civilised.

Wow, it's cheaper to buy the film on blu-ray.
At least then you don't have to listen to fifty other people eating their popcorn instead of being able to hear the film....
Last film I went to watch at the cinema was "Funny People", which incidentally is crap. Anyway, the last half an hour or so is really quiet with lots of talking. These 2 girls decided that talking was far more important than the film, so all I could here was them.At least then you don't have to listen to fifty other people eating their popcorn instead of being able to hear the film....
Had one wine gum left.....hmmmm, is it worth it? Yup.
Threw it at them as hard as I could. Ricocheted off the first, into the second. They looked over in horror and I just announced "Shutup!"
They were quiet for all of 5minutes and started again, but I'd run out of wine gums.
At the end they approached me and said 'Excuse me, do you know how disrespectful your behaviour is?'
'Do you know how disrespectful it is talking the whole way through a film that other people have paid £10 to see and you're ruining it?'
'You don't even know what we were talking about.'
I was gobsmacked at their sheer level of cheek. When I stood up to carry on arguing their eyes expanded and they scurried off, as they were a clear foot shorter than me, and presumed I was some bloodthirsty maniac about to eat their entrails.
Once again, the minority and their arrogance ruining it for all, won't be going back to the cinema in a hurry.

Oddly, I had a similar one when at the Theatre watching the Phantom of the Opera. Some rupert a few rows in front and to my right was chatting and eating loudly. At the interval I went over, and told him that if I could hear him over the show in the second half, I'd punch his face in. He of course denied that he was talking or eating loudly, but by sheer co-incidence the noise all stopped in the second half. I just dislike listening to people eat, and I despise watching people eat popcorn like a cow chews cud, and so the cinema just ends up annoying me, so I no longer go......... And at those prices I am quite pleased I don't as well!
