| That's true, actually. If I only go to see one film, I pay more than double for the bus (�1.80) what I pay for the film. It does add up. |

| I would feel my life very diminished without the cinema experience - DVD is great, and I watch a lot, but its not enough. Some films must be seen on the big screen. Like Sal I tend to go at antisocial hours when the place won't be packed with kids and cretins, but the other aid is going to a half decent independent cinema where the cretins feel out of place. I have no problems whatsoever at my local because its nice cafe, homemade cake on the counter and eclectic screening program seems to scare off those with a low IQ. |

Would you just expand a little on this theory of yours that people with low IQs are scared by home-made cake?

Yup, the Picturehouses, the Curzons and the P.C.C. are fine in this regard.  |

Talking of antisocial hours, though, I'd really like to go to midnight screenings, but they're pretty rare here.  |

Ditto. I did a midnight screening once and expected it to be full of drunk people who'd been kicked out their boozer in the last hour. Turns out it was, but all the ones anywhere near me fell asleep in the first 10 minutes- result! |

Well, if you will keep talking about the Four Word Film Review site during the film, what do you expect?

No, please, no. In the name of Mercy, spare me the Victoria Sponge and I'll never darken the doors of this cinema again!

| Here's a thing I was reminded of tonight that is rather strange: why, when some people are fucking around with their scarves or handbags or whatever they suddenly need to rearrange in the middle of the film, do they think it's O.K. to pointlessly stretch their arms up in the air for several seconds? |

Well, baking is all about chemistry. How many stupid people do you know are good at chemistry?

That's true, but I think it's more to do with the fact Chav and Chavette would be seriously confused confronted with fair trade coffee and carrot cake at the confectionary counter as opposed to the usual cinema fare.
But macaroons can be frightening too. |

not only that, the biggest screen in town. if it's going to be Iron Man, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Titanic (in which Rose mentions Freud's theories on men's preoccupation with size), it has to be at one of the theaters with a huge screen and stadium seating. even then, i refuse to pay full price. always discount matinee showing or second-run theater (formerly $1, now up to $5, depending on time and feature). |
