Ste said:£6 a ticket here at cineworld. But you're a fool if you pay that. < £4 on tuesdays or orange weds are the way to go.
Student discount + orange weds = me and the gf in for £4.80![]()
Spuds said:Your quite correct, an adult ticket at my work costs £5.50 (Which we get plenty of complaints about) and when you factor in the cost of running 6 projectors, paying a projectionist (not to mention as many as 6 or 7 floor staff and 2 managers when its busy) and repairing the chairs broken by muppets who continue to put their feet up on them after you've told them not to for the 3rd time we loose money on films. All our profit is made on the massively overpriced sweets and popcorn.

Also a simple download service would be great, if they are worried about no one buying the DVD's then have the service so it only allows say two viewings before it deletes its self
Camalot said:What about a similar service to sky box office?
Some interesting points there.Nexy said:I'll happily spend money to do things I enjoy, I buy music (at the moment, I'm on Napster's rental package), I got to the cinema etc. However I get shafted for doing it. Napster's got DRM on the tracks, the cinema tickets cost £6.50 a piece. Until the expensive real stuff is as good as the free stuff, people will take the free stuff.
DVD rips are on the net for most movies when the film is still in the cinema. Why does Hollywood not do a decent downloads service and charge a few quid? If you make it quick, easy and high quality at a reasonable price, people would use it. Not everyone, most people who go to the cinema will still go to the cinema, but you'd capture a lot of the people who watch pirate movies now.
Look at iTunes as a business model only imagine if customers weren't being shafted, I think the DVD piracy business would drop greatly. My $0.02.
The whole "knock-off Nigel" thing is a waste of space. It ***** me right off that when I pay £6.50 to go to the cinema, I have to sit through an anti-piracy advert. I'M ALREADY THERE FFS, YOU'RE ALREADY SHAFTING ME, JUST GET ON WITH IT!

teaboy5 said:Yeah even that would work, i just cant understand why they dont do this, there must be a reason behind it.
Because i think they would make a lot of money
No you either need to learn to read or perhaps quote within full context? once again you asked something like If they are so bad, why are you still watching them?, now regardless of where I got the film be it on TV through a download(legal or otherwise) or in my local store I gave you an answer to that, it was not justifying any illegal activity it was not even related to the use of illegal downloads! what it was justifying was why I continue to watch films despite being disillusioned with the profession.vonhelmet said:Oh, sorry, you're right. I forgot that there's an exemption from the copyright laws if you have some vague intentions of working in the industry.![]()
Meatball said:I just took that test and it came out as knock-off nigel! So since I'm a knock-off Nigel that means I:
I buy all my CD's (5 chart CD's in the past 2 weeks) buy all my films on DVD and soon to be Blu-Ray!
