If people were allowed to smoke, there would be a lot less popcorn eating.

Seriously? The only thing I can think of that would be worse at the cinema than the stink of cheap, rancid hotdogs and burgers would be the stench of cigarette smoke. It's bad enough if you sit down next to someone who's been smoking before they've come inside, it bloody reeks.

Bit to late when you have already sat down or if they sit next to you. Yes yes I know you can move after but still :P

Either way its never going to happen, smoking is definatly moving more towards the 'cant smoke anywhere' instead of the 'lets make a smoking cinema' way of things :)

Went to see Holy Rollers on Saturday while we where down in Silverstone for the GP, the Milton Keyens Xscape place is massive.

Its not somthing we would usually go for, the only reason we watched it was because it was the only thing on in the next 15mins while we where there and we wanted an early night to be up early for the race.

I enjoyed it, it is a good story and lots of good actors, the religion gets abit serious in some parts and the film takes about 20mins of character building before much happens but all in all it is worth a watch.

Tonight we went to see Larry Crowne not somthing I was looking forward to at all as the trailers looked terrible but it is the only thing on that we haven't seen, except the Potters but I've never been a fan.

This is a rare example of the trailer being wrong as the film was great, a nice feel good film and I just couldnt help but laugh and smile pretty much all the way through, I know how lame that sounds but I just couldnt help it. It starts getting abit lovey dovy and chick fliky towards the end but apart from that it was very good.

watched Horrible Bosses tonight and it was really good, very funny in lots of places but the main characters where abit annoying at times but I think they were supposed to be like that.

Anyway, really good and worth a watch.

I haven't updated this for a while so I'll just do  list that I have been writing on my fridge everytime I go to the cinema.

Since getting the card in the first week of June I've seen:

Hangover 2
X-Men
Bad Teacher
Green Lantern
Senna
Bridesmaids
Transformers 3
Holy Rollers
Larry Crowne
Horrible Bosses
Cars 2
Captain America
Mr Poppers Penguins
Super 8
Rise of the planet of the apes
Cowboys and Aliens
Inbetweeners
Final Destination 5

Thats 18films in 3months @ £15pm = £2.50 per film.  :ptu: I'll try and get the average lower in the next 3 months.

Might go and see One Day tonight, really don't want to but the Missus does, but she has been a PITA today so we'll see.

Absolute bargain really, if I lived closer to my nearest Cineworld I'd buy one again but sadly I have literally every type of cinema except Cineworld around here.

I really wish I still lived close enough to make it worthwhile, you get cheaper food and drink too!

I've only been to the cinema to see 4 of those films, I consider that very poor

Its sad to think that if I had to put them in order of best films I've watched on that list, the ones from 19 and 17 years ago would be at the top, some completely forgettable crap on the list.

you dont get discount on the food at Chester, if you added all the money I've spent on that it probably isn;t a good deal at all but I'm a sucker for pop corn and sweets  :w00t:

Are you sure? I'd double check, the website reckons you should:

Preferential discounts - Unlimited customers get exclusive discounts on food and drinks in cinema.

When Bacon and I have been to the cinema with knighty in Sunderland he gets a discount for all of us on his card, it makes a big difference on their prices.

yeah, 30% off, which makes a big difference when you're a greedy git like me :-)

even better when there's a few of you and it drops from 25ish to sub £20.... feels like more of a discount then
(especially on stuff you'd buy anyway)

damn.... the thought of it is making me hungry :o

It's an enclosed working environment, so, for very good reasons, smoking is banned in there. It is also enclosed, no matter where you sit smoke will and does drift over to you.

If you can't spend a few hours watching a film without being so addicted to nicotine that you need to smoke try getting some medical help.
