Will The Cinema Ever Decrease In Price?

[DAVIE]

Why is the cinema so expensive? It's getting ridiculous! Are they even making profit?
I usually wait and just rent or download the dvd now, it's pointless paying around £7 or £8 to watch something once that lasts around 2 hours and you have no idea if it's going to be absolute dire or not!
What do you think?

I hope they figure something out. I love going to the movie. :o I know they're germy and expensive and you have to hear people chew and all that, but I love the big screen and strangers sitting together in a room all experiencing the same thing at the same time.

The thought of going to the cinema makes me want to vomit. Sitting in a dark room with strangers, eating junk food, watching a screen that's too big and volume that's too loud. I can't even watch a full film, I have to break it down into 30 minute parts and watch it over the course of several days. Even then, I always sit there wondering why I'm even watching it in the first place: "NONE of this is real" is a recurring thought.
Not liking films puts a surprisingly large dampner on your social life, it seems to be the first thing people suggest when they want to meet up.

Wow Ive never come across anyone who doesn't like movies before, not something I thought would bother someone, it must be difficult, films everywhere, but not being able to loose yourself in it and be constantly aware this isn't real, would make movies unwatchable.
They'll bring the prices down when people stop going.but I don't think this will happen its still affordable for core audiences 15 to 30 years olds.

I heard a statistic on the radio a couple weeks ago that said, in America at least, that this was the WORST year for movie ticket sales of all time. But that more people than ever are watching movies...just at home.

I'm glad I will never see you in cinema.

If I ever win a lottery I'll start my own cinema (no food, no mobile phone policy).

[the raytownian]

Personally, I am so uninterested by 100% of the films that see wide theatrical releases (meaning, films that even make it to theatres where I live [Huntsville, AL... which is not exactly a thriving metropolis, but, I mean, it's not the middle of nowhere... We have NASA across the street from my old high school FFS]) that I don't ever go to see them (or even buy/download them).

The last few times I've been to see a movie (I could probably count the total number of times in the last 5 years on one hand), it was always or almost always when someone offered to take me and paid for my ticket, and it was never my suggestion...

I've seen a few small-release movies that I actually paid for, but those don't really count as "cinema" so much as low-budget docus and "art" films at small local establishments.

The reason they charge so much is probably because they suck so much ass that they have to make up for a lack of attendance (I can't be the only one who feels apathetic about every fucking wide-release movie in the last decade, right?).

[the raytownian]

PS: I am not much of a "movie" person... much more interested in wasting entire weeks of mny life on records instead. ;)

I do like going out to see Rocky Horror, and do the Time Warp while drunk on Mad Dog and Wild I. It's become a sort of tradition for me... I like any public viewing scenario where I can drink, really, haha... Regular cinemas are not really my bag though... It's always fun to get stoned with friends at their house while watching movies, or watching weird old movies alone in bed to. The standard "commercial" movie theatre is just such a boring suckhole that never shows anything worth seeing...

All that said, I still don't watch a ton of movies very frequently, or, if I do, I have kind of a marathon of viewing, and then watch nothing for a really long time... same way with games... I can play a game for weeks//months, and then not play a single thing for months (or years in some cases).

[Death Disco]

I'd maybe just buy a warehouse, one seat, a projector and a screen if I were you. I can't imagine the no-fun cinema would be that popular.
You'll never win the/a lottery anyway, dear. You're a born loser. There aren't many films about cats you could show at the KewPlex, are there? Apart from The Aristocats. And maybe the Don't Do That To My Pussy series.

LOL!!

Yeah, I'm a born loser because since I've lived in the UK I won:

some theatre tickets
some books, DVDs and CDs (one of them is PJ Harvey Mercury prize winning autographed CD and photo)
numerous film preview tickets (one of them was Fargo)
£500 voucher of Habitat
2 YATQ CDs (standard and deluxe on courtesy of X FM)
Some live concert tickets (Bjork MTV Unplugged, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand etc)
£7753.80 lottery winning to the date (missed £7000 x 6 because my numbers matched only 3 out of 4 :( )

I can't believe you sat and typed all that up. Sad little person.

[Thesmithsmorrissey]

the reason the cinema is so expensive is because you're paying for the production costs of the experience.

The sound and optics systems installed especially

coupled with the fact that the cinema itself has to make a profit on its customers = expensive prices on tickets, concessions, etc.

You can't honestly believe the 3-D and extra-spacious reclining seats are coming out of the cinema's pockets

Hey DD, is it the unreality that puts you off movies?
What about all this American stuff on telly, like Madmen, Sopranos, CSI etc, do you watch them?
What about documentaries?
Radio is great. I'm a bit of a Radio 4 fan although my wife thinks it's a load of complacent middle class poncery.

Yes, it's the "not real" thing that causes me to switch off. I don't watch any of those Anerican shows that are so popular these days. I rarely watch tv at all, actually. And anything I do watch i watch on iPlayer etc.
Listen to podcasts too, but not sure about radio 4... Always seems to be the snidey, moaning "satirists" on their shows. Not my cup of tea at all.

[Death Disco]

Or dead cats that I could smuggle in about my person. You could probably get 3 or 4 strapped to you without anyone noticing. I don't think cinema workers are trained to spot people smuggling dead cats. Or maybe they are, I don't know... as I say, I don't go to the cinema.

[DAVIE]

I rather like 3D movies in the cinema! I don't have a blu ray player, surround sound or a 3D screen, so when I watch things in 3D it makes things a bit special. I wonder what Star Wars will be like in 3D...Liam Neeson weilding a lightsaber in 3D? Woahh! :eek:

I actually bought a Star Wars 3D poster from HMV today :D

Star Wars isn't real. 3D is still only 2D. I don't understand how people can watch this. Surely there must be others out there who cannot watch films?

Stars Wars is very real.

I know, I was referring back to my post earlier in this thread where I said about not being able to watch films because the fact they aren't real annoys me. I don't think you think Star Wars is real, I give you more credit than that.

They've installed 3D tv at my local.The landlord is football mad.He was given 100 free pairs of 3D glasses to go with it.Its like a Roy Orbison convention on Saturday afternoons.

"Living" being the key word.
I'd rather lead an average real life than a totally made-up one. And if you think the world is miserable and boring, you're not making enough effort to go and see all the brilliant things that are out there.
This, for example:

[the raytownian]

Not that you're asking me, but no. Zero interest here. Documentaries are a totally different thing though.
I don't listen to radio, either, for that matter... I can't be troubled to tune into NPR every time there might be something interesting on, and that's literally the only station where I live that's even worth half a shit to me.

Point is, maybe I live under a rock, but I really don't care for any of that stuff... I watch hella TV, but it's mostly Golden Girls and Matlock and cartoons and shit...

On that note, I personally find music, drugs, alcohol and time with friends (when I can get it) a much better escape than movies (or books, even... perhaps because I have a meager library and read very slowly).

I also don't like people using the word "movie" - it's "film".

Movie just sounds so American. "Hey, dude, I'm gonna get a hot dog at the 7/11, wash it down with a Slurpee, catch some baseball before going to the movies with some buddies. I'll make out with some chick, before going home and jerking off while doing my math homework for college. Y'all know what I be sayyyyy-yin, biatch?! Word!"

I dunno, man... It's pretty fucking gross, but I feel like most people are programmed to look at what are considered "food animals" differently, which I think is a bit off.

Even I am programmed to think this way, but when I really consider that it's not so different, neither looks particularly appetizing.

I think it's a valid picture to post. They hunt whales and the rest of the world jumps on them, but the fact they feast on household pets has just become a running joke.

[the raytownian]

DAVIE: No, I am not, really... I live at home and can't get a job, so I don't really have a say in what food does or doesn't get bought these days.

I also tend to follow the idea of "freeganism" more than vegetarianism, which is to say, I am not likely to refuse dumpstered animal products if I am not supporting the industry by PAYING for them (plus, I feel wasteful not to eat dumpstered animal products, because at least the death is [weirdly] justified by not ending up in a landfill).

Given the choice, I would prefer to buy only "vegetarian-friendly" foods, but I'd prefer to buy nothing from the industry at all, even "vegetarian" stuff... Big agriculture = lots of land devastation and plenty of dead animals as a result from tilling and toxins alone.

Yes I'm the same. If I eat meat (which is likely) then I make sure I don't waste anything. I think people who waste meat are worse than the people who kill the animal.

i used to be a pretty regular cinema-goer, but i gave up after a while as i saw so many terrible movies. my wallet also wasn't enjoying the experience. i feel that the american film industry has gone to the dogs. they keep churning out terrible movie after terrible movie, sequel after sequel. once you release a film with adam sandler playing the roles of a man and his twin sister, you know the end days are approaching.

Don't answer any of these questions I just posed, as I am not interested. Just some things for you to ponder until you rake in your millions in the lottery tonight.

agreed,the prices are quite ridicilous. I used to work in one of these years ago.gladly not anymore, quite a big part of the customers who came there was very annoying and rude to the staff.
slighty off topic:
i do find it very uncomfortable watching an intimate love scene(no matter what gender) when someone is sitting next to me*squirms".
i rarely visit the big cineplexes , i prefer the little arthouse(hope thats the right term) cinemas, which are also much much cheaper than the big cineplexes

No. No, it doesn't. It makes me sad that you are not being given the type of round-the-clock care you so obviously need and that you are not taking your medication.

[CrystalGeezer]

No. No, it doesn't. It makes me sad that you are not being given the type of round-the-clock care you so obviously need and that you are not taking your medication.

Awwww, you care. That's so sweet.

[Death Disco]

Awwww, you care. That's so sweet.

Care might be the wrong word. I'd go for "profound pity". You're mentally ill and have no-one in your life who cares enough about you to have you sectioned. That's quite an achievement in itself, I suppose.
But you don't need me to point these things out to you. Go pick your Internet fights with someone else.

You have it all figured out, don't you?

[DAVIE]

agreed,the prices are quite ridicilous. i do find it very uncomfortable watching an intimate love scene when someone is sitting next to me

Wheyy someone who's responding to the thread and agreeing! :) God, I remember watching sex scenes with my Mum and Dad on the TV one night a couple of years ago and I had to just walk out the room....I just couldn't bare the fact they were watching a sex scene with me! I felt disgusted they were present! :eek:


Jesus....the claws are coming out from everywhere! geesh, I'm sorry for making this topic.....

[the raytownian]

I've always felt really awkward during sex scenes in films when watching with my folks... Coming out hasn't mad it that much less awkward... The only benefit being that I can sort of deflect my discomfort by feigning excitement at the sight of breasts, which is "funny" because "oh, yeah, my son's a fag".

PS: Too many negative vibes in this thread, broz. Let's all have a hot dog and a Miller Light and talk this out peaceably through a round of arm wrastlin', because I totally love all that stuff.

[Death Disco]

You have it all figured out, don't you?

There's nothing to "figure out"; you're mental, no-one in your real life cares so you're on here looking for attention by flaunting your disease. Which is perfectly fine but don't involve me. As I've asked you once already, go and pick fights with someone else.

[the raytownian]

Interesting. But I'm not British.

Irish? French? Whatever. Same diff, bro *tosses you an AMERICAN! football*

You sure got me pegged, though.

Death Disco, there is an ignore button in settings if you really have a problem with Crystal. I don't know why you seem to have a problem with her because she gets on with almost everyone on here and she is one of the most kindest and respected people on here. So stop fighting with her.

If you go back a page you'll notice that it was her who started "fighting" by calling me a cunt. I'm sure Harold Shipman got on well with most people too, but he was still a fucking murderer. "Most people" aren't always right. I am. So stop trying to start another fight with me, Davie-boy, and run along.

[Death Disco]

I'm quaking in my (new) boots, Mr Scissors. I have never been so close to shitting myself in sheer terror.

I don't start fights...all I said was that there was an ignore button and Crystal is nice, your quite new so you haven't got to know everyone yet. I think your a bit like VivaHate.

[Urban the swede]

In Sweden it's not the price that is the problem but the films they choose to show. It seems the time it takes between being shown on cinema and being available through on demand services is getting shorter by the month.
If you wanna see anything other than the no brainers and mainstream films you have to find these obscure little cinemas in our big cities. I would gladly pay more if they only showed the films I wanna see but prefer films at home cause one can take breaks and chill out like you cannot do in cinemas.
I have my own cinema screen and projector and a big 60 inch tv so I cannot say that I miss the cinema. Me and my girlfriend have visited a cinema once a year at most.

[Death Disco]

You might not start fights, but you seem to be trying to stir shit here. You and "most people" here might like her - fair enough. She seemed harmless enough until she called me a cunt. Me not liking her doesn't prevent the rest of you from playing happy families. And I'm nothing like VivaHate. I'm not a stalking, manipulating, shit-stirring psychopath for a start. I've had the tests done and everything. Despite what you may have heard, I am but a man with a massive intellect and an even bigger trouser truncheon.

[Urban the swede]

Not getting involved in that cause I am here to spread the peace. Can we please stick to the topic?

How do you look for attention?

Ask one of the voices in your head, you're boring me now.

I don't have voices in my head. And if you think my logic-compromised brain can't keep up with the wit and wisdom you offer solo, you are wrong. I called you a cunt because i was speaking your language, you were calling other people cunt. Just chill out Death Disco. I'm a normal person. I'm going to assume that your new boots are just giving you blisters and making you crabby. :)

[billy scissors]

I wouldn't bother.It's usually war by about the eighth post.

Yep, that used to be me but hang in there and you will notice the difference. Anyone that used to chat with me must let me know who they were then cause now I have no idea.

[CrystalGeezer]

It's kind of weird seeing the "kinder, gentler" urban. :p Did you fall in love or something?

[Death Disco]

Well, it's been the most entertaining thing on here in weeks. But time to let it go and move on with our lives.

In answer to the original question: I don't know.

[billy scissors]

Oh,Im not complaining.It's the slanging matches that make this place.More of 'em!

[Urban the swede]

Yeah, that as well and just settled down in life is all. I know some cannot believe that and expect me to open a can of worms here but they will be truly disappointed.

[Urban the swede]

Oh,Im not complaining.It's the slanging matches that make this place.More of 'em!

I don't want anymore and I am ok with serious debate filled with respect instead. I think that way we learn more about each other and what we spend our lives doing and liking.

Awwwwwwwwww. :sweet: I'm so happy/jealous of you. :p

Jealous of me!

No reason to feel like that at all.

So do people in the places where Morrissey is going on tour quite soon:

I will never go to China or Japan or anywhere further east than Moscow. I'm not too fond of walking down a street and being run over by 15 people on a moped. I've been told that happens to everyone who goes to Asia at least once. Guaranteed.

I want to be hit by a moped. :p No but really, the people I am housesitting for go all over the world watching birds and taking photos. Their screen saver rotates through all their photos, so I'll walk into the computer room to look at the internet and this guy will be staring at me from some outdoor market in India.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6797082349_a6d7f704fd_z.jpg

I want to go to where this guy is, see all these stands and all the people and smell the air and jump out of the way of mopeds and sleep in a cot and all that. If I had the means, I'd go to a show in the Phillipines or Japan or wherever in a second.

[Death Disco]

I used to watch birds and take photos, but ended up with a jail sentence.

[Mozzafan#1]

i never go to the cinema these days, it's a bit embarrassing going on your own [and then you go home and you cry and you want to die, eh chaps? haha] but when i used to go with my other half, it cost the same as a really expensive sit down lunch in town. too much money to pay i think. it will just get more expensive.

[Mozzafan#1]

i said i wouldn't get into an argument with you so i will try to be civil, but that's not funny

You don't want an argument, but you post a bitchy little comment anyway? Strange. Go away.

[Urban the swede]

Please explain what this argument is about.

[Death Disco]

Please explain what this argument is about.

I think it started because I said I don't like going to the cinema.

[Urban the swede]

I think it started because I said I don't like going to the cinema.

And here I was thinking it was a serious thing so that sounds like not much to fight over.

[Mozzafan#1]

so first you're saying you hope i choke, now you're trying to run me off the board? i don't understand, i certainly didn't do anything to warrant that.

[Mozzafan#1]

I think it started because I said I don't like going to the cinema.

that's not true! it's because you were unfriendly in the other thread when all i was doing was standing up for you against raytown, who i think still owes you an apology. but you can take that up with him, i'm not going to help you after what you've said here.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

at least you have cinemas there, none here in Georgia, even if I met a nice Georgian woman* to take out, where would we go?
not the cimema, aint any here


*=actually I did already meet a Georgian woman, at a funeral, but she lives an hour away, oh well

[billy scissors]

What are you talking about? I couldn't care less if you choke, or if you post here. Just don't involve me in either.

he so did!

[Reggie-Kray]

I hope I'm not too late on this thread, but I believe the reason for the ridiculous cost of going to the cinema is that massive corporations like Universal Cinema Group (UCG) have driven all the small, local cinemas out of business deliberately in a ploy to corner the market and ramp up the profits, and they are in cahoots with the movie/film making Hollywood giants. They have a deal between them ensuring that all the UCG cinemas will always have the latest blockbuster movies whilst the small, independent cinemas are not in on the party and have to wait many weeks or months for the rights to show films. Personally, I would rather sit in a small, independent cinema and support a local business and community than go to one of those horrid, commercial behemoths. My grandad used to be a cinematographer, or projectionist as it's known these days, he worked in many of the old time classic cinema houses in Manchester so I will always have an interest in local cinemas. I think if you asked most people they would rather walk to a local cinema, pay a fair price to watch a film and not have to spend twenty five pounds on additional extras like popcorn and drinks. But it's out of our hands, and a lot of the marketing in these places is aimed at kids getting their parents to stump up cash. Last time I had the misfortune to attend a film at a UCG cinema, you didn't even have to ask for popcorn, it was all there for kids to just grab and take to the cashier, same with the fizzy drinks, the kids were just grabbing large everything and filling up then dragging mum and dad to the cashier to pay for it. It's a very slick operation, all aimed at robbing you of every penny you have on you. I'm not massively into films myself, I get bored of any tv or film after about 20 minutes, so if there's anything I desperately want to watch I will wait for the DVD.
