Went to the flicks last night to watch The Haunting in Connecticut. Hadnt been to the flicks in ages so was quite looking forward to it. Quite a good movie,but i got a bigger fright before i even sat down.
2 tickets @ £6.15 each
2 hotdogs @ £ 3.95 each
1 bottle budweiser, £ 3.15
1 very small bottle white wine, £ 3.90
£27.25 to go watch a bloody movie!!!!! And that was us going for a cheap night out instead of going to the pub!! >:( >:(

You'd have been better off goin' to the pub havin' a couple of pints and buying a copy of that dodgy bloke that sits in the corner :y

Ouch. Me and the wife, or should that be the wife and I, go out on a Friday evening to a litlle pub, have two small meal's and I usually have 2 pints of cider and a double southern comfort, she does not drink alcohol. It don't cost that much, that's for sure. I fact I would even say in the current climate it has got cheaper, and there are less people in the pub.
No wonder I have not been to the movies in 20 years +.

Nope! Last time I was in a cinema was the first showing of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome so thats coming up on 25 years ;D ;D I get all my movies from the pub now ;D ;D

we have found a cheaper option to get that cinema affect, we just turn the lights off, put in a dvd, then play a recording of people coughing & farting all over the place & rattling popcorn while film is showing, then to top it off we put double sided sticky tape to our shoes to give that "pepsi soaked carpet" affect ;D ;D ;D

When me and the wife went too see The Dark Knight...the total bill for two of us with food and drink and upgraded seats (like arm chairs) came too about £4.
Still thats the Philippines for ya... ;)

I do some work on occations for Odeon, (I don't work for them just fix their tills) the mark up on the sweets etc is huge as that is where they make their money. The film companies take nearly all the ticket fee.

You are right Ian, sorry..............it is a slur on our leaders to suggest they would lower themselves to charging £28 for a working class night out on their expenses............they wouldn't dream of spending less than £200 for a really posh night out at the Savoy, which looks far classier on their accounts and maintains their reputation! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

BDs are cheaper than going to cinema

There's a notice inside cineworld saying you cant consume your own food and drink on the premises.
I take my son and his mate now and again, comes to about £30 but they enjoy it.
Of course, I can well afford it now I dont own a money pit omega any more. ;)
