k the cinema. fk it up its fking overpriced full of rude s arse.
Just returned from the local Odeon in the sttest mood ever (QPR-Spurs result not helping).
Firstly, ticket prices. What the shuddering fk - £12.65 for a regular adult single. Add on an extra quid for the 3D glasses, multiply by two and you've near enough nailed £30 to watch a film. fking scandal. Cheap date it is not!
Popcorn and drink - £7.50 for a 'large combo'. To add further insult to already evident severe injury, smug coloured posters proclaim with combos you save 40p. Nice one.s.
Well, no matter. Expensive ticket, overpriced food perhaps the experience will be worth it?
Will it fk.
s talking all the way throughout. Some utter bellend of a woman brought an 8 year old to the film (t'was a 12) and let the little st chat constantly, on and on and on. Plenty of other adults talking however and barely an effort made to whisper.
By this point in time I'm getting chest pain from the rage and it isn't helped by the loudest rustlers of ever. What the are these fat fks eating that is louder than super duper Dolby Digital sound!? Not even a slight effort to keep it down a touch. IN addition, people constantly getting up and down, up and down, up and down. Sort your fking bladders/bowels/attitudes out.
Now I'm a reasonable chap (I promise). I also really enjoy watching films on the big screen - you know the whole big picture/sound experience. Occasionally, a little whispering may be fair and you do need to eat your popcorn, that's what happens in the cinema but today was a st storm of ludicrousness. I'm not a fan of the great unwashed at the best of times and this has not helped my lack of endearment. Utter fking rage and genuinely spoilt my enjoyment of the film.
Why the fk am I going to pay extortionate prices to sit next to s talking and eating with no consideration for anyone but their high BMI, socially retarded and frankly rude as fk selves?
fk you Odeon. And fk you film makers with your y 'you wouldn't steal a car' promo adverts to discourage illegal downloads.
From now on, I'll bestreaming online buying the DVD and sitting slightly closer to the screen.

I do the exact same as you, order online, me amd the gf are students for the night, also online is cheaper.
Almost the same as me except if one cannot be bothered to order online you can just pres student ticket at the self service machine 
.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 agree regarding the ticket prices, I am going to be trying to use my student card forever!
Wish that was possible.Tried that the scandalously priced Eden Project last year and got pulled up on the fact that it expired in 2008...I made some excuses about not bringing the new one.

I think you might be thinking of Camden Palace (now Koko) at the end of Bayham Street which continues to be music/clubbing venue. Haven't been there since the uni days (brilliant times though...from what I can remember). The Odeon in question is on Parkway and to my knowledge has always been a cinema.
No, it was the cinema in Parkway. As I said, it stopped being a cinema was empty for a while and there were various squat parties there, not an official venue in the slightest. I remember one time sitting in the stalls with my girlfriend listening to some trippy Hawkwind stuff, then downstairs there was one packed room with a constant stobe going and no other lighting with serious banging London acid techno playing.
Dogs on strings there too.
This was early 1995.
