It's also bloody expensive. Back in my day, you could get in for less than £4. Nowadays, I'm lucky if I get change out a tenner.

And you forgot the seeming necessity to gorge ones face while watching a film - why do people think that they need to spend £5 on a big bucket of popped air?

[foot-loose]

Cheap DVDs for £3 outta Tesco and movies on Sky are where the future is at.

[foot-loose]

I don't like downloading films - I feel it means that I dont get as much chance to wave my 42 inch high definition plasma willy about.

Id rather wait for ages then get them for a couple of quid somewhere off da net.

[TIAL]

Or just get a DivX player!

[foot-loose]

How does that help with the surround sound? And the quality is still not gonna be DVD size is it?

And people are so bloody annoying there. There should be rules. One of my favourite bloggers has written 40 rules. Very good ones they are too!

I'm quite glad I don't have a "favourite blogger". That would make me feel more geeky than I already am.

You have a big one! Mines only 32 inch, people tell me the size isn't important, but I'd still prefere a bigger one. Wider the better.

It all depends on the size of the place you are sticking it into. Personally, I think mine is a bit big for where I tend to have it normally stuck. That said, I do spend a fair bit of time staring at it each night and I've never felt that it was too big so all in all - it's perfect.

Each to their own though. Size is in the eye of the beholder.

He's a very funny man! Read some of his stuff.

Mine's quite diverse, I've had it in all kinds of areas, being slightly smaller than yours I can fit it pretty much where ever I like.

But do you really want to have to keep moving it from place to place? If you move it to a new place, you need to keep shifting it about to get it in just the right position.

[S4B]

DO you two clean after you've moved it? When these things have been in one place for a while the whole area needs a good scrub no matter what the size.

[foot-loose]

Mmm - depends on the area.

The bigger, older, dustier and more used a place is - the more it needs scrubbed. You should know this.

[S4B]

I rarely move mine. It's quite settled where it is. To be honest I don't use it as much as I used to either.

[foot-loose]

Meh - my reply was better.

[S4B]

It was indeed Foots.

Twas aimed at Beadle. Although It applies to S4 as well really.

So... cinemas - aye.

I want to go see The Dark Knight at the Imax - I might make it this weekend.

Whatever you do don't go and see Somers Town. I made this mistake last Saturday evening, and it was the worst film I've seen since Eyes Wide Shut. I like British films as a rule, but this hardly got started, and when it did it was over-it only lasted about 75 mins. Very thin on plot, action and laughter, with only one or two funny lines. It started out as a corporate video for Eurostar, but then somehow morphed into a feature film. The lead actor is the young lad who was in This is England, which I thought was a great film. In this however he was some what wooden to say the least. See a review of it here: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/ ... 574066.ece

As for the popcorn, I love it! No excuse for eating it loudly though! The new Radio one ad in the cinema goes on for ages too.........

[Yudster]

Films at the cinema - too bright, usually out of focus, and always too loud to the point of distortion. Its an expensive way to get a headache. And thats before you even mention the * that go there.

Really? I've never know a film at the cinema to be out of focus.

Quite a lot of those things I have never known happen at the cinema and I have been quite a lot, they are either specific to American cinemas or this guy needs to change his cinema. I have no idea why things that happen before the film annoy him. There are a few relevant things on there (like the one that Beadle Poke highlighted) but not many.

Have you tried glasses?

When the only thing which is out of focus in the entire and limitless range of things I look at on a daily basis is the image on the cinema screen, I tend to think its probably that which is at fault, not my eyes.

You have clearly never experienced Screen 4 at the Odeon, Colchester. Or Screen 3, or 5, or 6 for that matter.

[MK Chris]

I must admit, I've never known it either.

Maybe it's the cinema you visit rather than cinemas in general.

No - you think??!!
