The nearest cinema for me now is a 4/5 hour drive away, so I've not been to a cinema for months. I miss it, especially when Mad Max was on.

I'd usually make a trip to the cinema for a movie from one of my favourite directors, or something that I know I need to see on a massive screen.

4-5 hours? Where do you live?

Oh, yeah! Did you move to Cambodia?

Aye, tropical paradise by the beach. Phnom Penh is the nearest cinema.

I don't go that often these days either

So I went to my local Vue online and did a booking to see Ant Man

£11.49 per adult or £13.49 if you want a VIP seat.

Then a £1.50 booking Fee, is this to compensate them for not having to have extra staff on to manually process tickets?

So just short of £30 for VIP seats for 2 adults, then of course they would be babysitter, £4 worth of parking and £15 on pick and mix

I'll wait for the Blu Ray

If you buy anything at all from the cinema apart from the actual tickets then you're a mug of course.

£10.10 at Bedford Cineworld.

Still, Movies for Juniors (a special showing at 10am for people with kids) is still £1.75 each. I might take the Grimlet to see Home.

I rarely go these days. Money's much better sank into a big ass telly and AV receiver.

I know, my wife however is mesmerised by the wall of pick and mix, so fills the bag

I'm told I'm mean and we never go out etc if I try to stop her!

At the cinema in Glasgow city centre the various paper shops round about have got in on the game by offering pick and mix and popcorn and the like for a fraction of the price the cinema itself offers.

£6 at the university cinema, £5 at the local town's tiddly one, £9 or something at the Vue, but that's where my freebie bank account tickets work. So I go quite often.

We do this quite a bit when Chloe comes over. It's pretty cool.
