Aye I think it was pushing the 3 hour mark,was it not!


Yeah it was a long one for sure, well over 2hrs for sure. That's all the more reason that I DON'T get a drink though. Because then I will surely have to get up during the movie.

I'm such and old man... :lol:
This space used to be more fun...

I rarely go to the cinema any more. Well unless it's a film I really want to see. It costs as much for 2 people to go to the cinema as it is to go out on the piss. I would much rather sit at home and watch a film. I can have a beer and Lady Fab can have a glass of wine, I don't have to spend a feckin fortune on popcorn (seriously you have to take out a mortgage to buy popcorn and drinks at the flicks), plus I can pause it and go and have a pee, or more importantly a smoke....both kinds of smoke.

I get cinema tickets from work, so use them and just buy some popcorn and a drink

I would only be tempted to pay to watch a big action movie, as I can download most films and watch them via my xbox anyway

That's nothing. I only go cinema if I'm down the girlfriends way and I can't sit ANYWHERE except the VIP Seats, £10.20 a f***ing ticket!

So that's over £20 for the seats alone, then she wants f***ing Ben N Jerry's and a Coke and whatnot...

Wait, this isn't about the Cinema's it's the bloomin company you take!

the only reason to go cinema these days is to be alone with your other half, last couple of times i went it was just the 2 of us. Im not a fan of the cinema though, just have a great DVD collection.

Now half the movies are 3D and you know you have to see it in 3D, so thats an extra $2.50 to each ticket.
