Cinemas are shit.

I'll be the one bouncing up and down on his chair and going "FUCK YEAH" every time something explodes.

There's a difference between that (which is obviously fine) and the people that seemingly go to the cinema to have a fucking conversation with their mate(s), who's either sitting next to them or on the other side of the fucking brilliant white hole in their hand.

Not only that, the box office and snack queues are merged - one queue to get your tickets, drinks and snacks. That works really well.

I long since learned to expect that. Do you turn your phone off? I don't. I turn it to silent, but you better expect me to look at who is calling and pick up if it's important.

Have now seen the trailer for Man on a Ledge.

I was totally 'My bum is on the edge... of my seat for such a gripping concept!'

"How to train your dragon" was gid. I want a dragon noo though

127 Hours - Pretty good. Never got dull, considering it's about a guy stuck under a rock. There was some excellent use of sound in the scene that I shan't mention but it isn't really a spoiler considering the guy is well known. Sort of. That Danny Boyle certainly is pretty good at making films.

Aye, I only thought it was OK. When people have been saying it was the best film of 2011, I've wanted to take them into a lift and stomp their head to pieces.

My top two films of 2011 were Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Drive. Go figure.

I think history will judge Drive both correctly and unkindly.

I thought the soundtrack was interesting, other than that I agree with your points Cavey. It's not going to be a Vanishing Point style classic, that's for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed it but it's not a film that I can fathom why as it's impossible to describe it without making it sound interminably dull, but it wasn't. Granted it it's neither an action movie nor a thriller but more of a gentle look at a man adrift trying to re-anchor his life.

[1] I haven't been to this particular cinema for about 16 years and they've changed it into one of those comfy chairs, table, footrests and bar kind of cinema and as you can imagine it's a bit of an art house cinema so it's never going to show Michael Bay, but it's a most agreeable environment to view a movie in as you're not ever going to be surrounded with twonks. And having a beer on a table next to you, with your feet up while sat on a comfy sofa is a great way to experience the cinema.

Sounds like a great place to sleep, DB

I watched Devil last night. I reckon we could fashion a pretty cool scum game from the concept.

<narrows eyes>

OI. It's The Thing scum next.

Even better

HELL YEAH

_{if I'm allowed. And nobody else already booked one}

Sounds a lot like Sideways, then. That's a good thing.

DO WANT. Damn, I wish there was a place like that near me.
