I've noticed this too. Don't remember it several years ago, just recently. First time I noticed I thought they'd forgotten to turn the lights off. Pathetic.

I never go to the cinema as I love a good gruesome horror and tend to get rather vocal. Best I watch them at home

I can't download films, not that I would of course, because my internet is so god damn slow, and I have no idea what I'm doing.

I just have to wait for stuff to come out on DVD, or get someone to get films for me. I need more friends, to get more films.

There's an army of Chinese fellas wandering around Nottingham selling DVDs. You can have the new Batman for £3. Waste of 3 quid if you ask me

Not quite what I was after, and how are you even innocent, just because you get them form a mate...

I just want some new stuff to watch, albeit, not sure what, I always forget somehow.

SW, it would cost that much to go down to Notts, I might as well upgrade my t'internet and learn how to download til my hearts content.

I'm not fussy about quality, so long as it's almost watchable.

Just find a nice one.... good luck, but looks aren't everything, no matter what some others would like to tell you.

A sound mind, and not to unsettling on the eye. There must be some out there.

Perhaps don't be too fussy on the sound mind bit. We are all a bit mental.

Should I point out the floors in your plan?

1) All the nice one's are taken.
2) You're all fecking bonkers
3) There's a reason there is a 4:1 single female to single male ratio in Notts, that's because 3/4 of the female population here are munters of pyschos.

If you know where to find any, let me know, until then I think the £3 DVDs will be a better option

Well until I can come up with a better plan, you will have to make yourself uber-appealing to the taken wimmins, and take them from their current men folk. You can do it... maybe.

How I hate myself for saying that.

i prefer to wait until its available on DVD, pay for it, take it home and watch it on a nice big screen, on a nice leather couch, with the surround sound on, and our lass gobbling me off.

downloading films illegally = you never get the surround sound or all the extras = what is the point?

cinemas are just big TVs with cr@p surrounds :|

However, I am going to watch Batman at the IMAX on friday. always feels like a proper occasion as the screen is so fvcking huge and the sound is actually really good!

I think I'll stick to downloading films rather than paying to see adverts !

Yeah going to the Cinema now is a joke. Took the Girlfriend to watch Hancock (sh*te film) and after paying for the tickets, drinks & sweets, it came £20.

Rent the same film at Blockbusters £4, and burn it (50p). That's what I prefer to do.

She wants to see the new James Bond film & Mummy film at the Cinema too. That'll be £40 then

I'd pay to watch James Bond at the cinema and if I enjoy it, I'll buy it when it's released on DVD but I can't think of any other films that I'd want to pay for twice.

Do Orange still do the 241 Orange Wednesday tickets? The last time I went was using that offer! And that was to see Casino Royale Tighter than a ducks ****, water tight

My rules for cinema viewing are...

Wednesdays only, BOGOF with Orange.
Always a showing before 3pm to avoid kids, and NEVER during school hols.
Arrive 10 minutes late to miss ads but hopefully catch trailers.
Missuse takes large handbag to conceal 90p Butterkist.

We did pay £8 each to see Batman at the IMAX, and it was 100% worth it for the sound system alone. The film was excellent too.

Then you have to hear fat munters stuff their face with it for the duration of the film, and when theirs gobs are too sticky they open a snickers or some other crap during the "important" parts!!

Ban popcorn at the movies!!
