I love films - I facking HATE the cinema!!!!
Discussion
We managed to get the sprog looked after yesterday (9month old baby girl) so thought we toddle off to our nearest Cineworld for a PizzaExpress and to catch Atavar.
By the way, what a film! Amazing.
But.
To the utter
sat behind me that I had to tell TWICE to STOP KICKIN THE BACK OF MY FUVCKIN SEAT I hope your ovaries shrivel to husks rendering you childless and bitter until you die a horrible lonely death. YOU !
To the utter fackwitted tosspeices that brought a 6month old baby along to see a FACKING HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER! . You are nothing buts. It's tantamount to child abuse, the fact you had to get up and take the baby outside 5 times due due incessant SCREAMING was't hint enough that you SHOULDN'T TAKE ACTUAL BABY'S TO THE FACKING PICTURES 
And to sll the other fecksticks that somehow managed to make cellophane wrapped sweets last 3 hours with a constant rustle of chubby fingers I hope you all develop diabetes and your fking legs fall off!
Like I say in thte title I really love a good movie but EVERY time I go to the cinema something happens that makes me
wanttokilleveryone
Is it just me???

Cinema is still the best place to see a film, you just have to pick the right time to go. Friday/Saturday nights tend to be as the OP described. Midweekers or Sunday nights are still enjoyable, I also like to pay a bit more and sit at the back in the gallery seats and make myself sick on the free nachos,popcorn and Coke.
My son has no imunine system and should not be near people so we tend to go to the 1st showing in the morning. Its great no bugger is in there and we have the whole cinema to ourselves. Feet go up on the chairs and we spread ourselves out! And no people infront of me and no chopping in my ear! Ohhhh yeah!
Providing your local cinema accommodates late night showings (10:00pm-12:00am starts), these usually ensure you have the entire cinema to yourself ... or you share with 8 other like-minded people. Occasionally they do 18+ only showings of lower rating films, which also keeps the chavs out!
However I find a Friday/Saturday night isn't that bad - Most of the usual troublemakers are trying to get into the local bars/clubs!
By the way, the g/f and I are avid film fans ... I have the home cinema setup, but love the proper cinema experience as well!

newsgroup access ? , is that widely available , what is it? I assume it's a p2p torrent thingy
PM if you'd rather keep it quiet (er)
Basically you need access to a newsgroup server, access to a newsgroup indexer and a program to download stuff. It's kinda tricky and I don't fully understand how it actually works, once you've got it set up though, it's great.PM if you'd rather keep it quiet (er)
I'll send you a PM with a bit more specific info.

Newsgroups predate Peer to Peer, and the World Wide Web. Left over from ARPAnet and BBS's.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup

While newsgroups were not created with the intention of distributing binary files, they have proven to be quite effective for this. Because of the way they work, a file uploaded once will be spread and can then be downloaded by an unlimited number of users. More useful is that every user is drawing on the bandwidth of his or her own news server. This means that unlike P2P technology, the user's download speed is under his or her own control, as opposed to under the willingness of other people to share files. In fact, this is another benefit of newsgroups: it is usually not expected that users share. If every user makes uploads then the servers would be flooded; thus it is acceptable and often encouraged for users to just leech.
There were originally a number of obstacles to the transmission of binary files over Usenet. First, Usenet was designed with the transmission of text in mind. Consequently, for a long period of time, it was impossible to send binary data as it was. So, a workaround, Uuencode (and later on Base64 and yEnc), was developed which mapped the binary data from the files to be transmitted (e.g. sound or video files) to text characters which would survive transmission over Usenet. At the receiver's end, the data needed to be decoded by the user's news client. Additionally, there was a limit on the size of individual posts such that large files could not be sent as single posts. To get around this, Newsreaders were developed which were able to split long files into several posts. Intelligent newsreaders at the other end could then automatically group such split files into single files, allowing the user to easily retrieve the file. These advances have meant that Usenet is used to send and receive many terabytes of files per day.
There are two main issues that pose problems for transmitting binary files over newsgroups. The first is completion rates and the other is retention rates. The business of premium news servers is generated primarily on their ability to offer superior completion and retention rates, as well as their ability to offer very fast connections to users. Completion rates are significant when users wish to download large files that are split into pieces; if any one piece is missing, it is impossible to successfully download and reassemble the desired file. To work around the problem, a redundancy scheme known as PAR is commonly used.
A number of websites exist for the purpose of keeping an index of the files posted to binary newsgroups.
