Cinema.

I haven't really been to the cinema for a while due to the fact I'm a poor ass student but I have somehow managed to go twice in the space of about 9 days.  I remember going when I was little and thinking how magical it was and how amazing it was to be able to watch a screen that was bigger than my house.  I remember worrying that it was going to explode because it was so loud and kill everybody.  Now I walk in, sit down, stare at a screen for two hours and leave thinking.. why the hell did I pay £8 to just sit in a room when I could wait to order the film online for about £3, no postage charges and watch it for free in my own home?  But it isn't just the film you have to pay for, is it?  Oh there's always time to 'grab a coke from the foyer' before the film starts because they play 10000000000 adverts and trailers.. you get suckered in to buying all this crap food that you don't even need.  Okay, maybe buy a bottle of water.. water's good for you.. but all of this sugar, salt, fat.. it's just not healthy.  Why is the world like this?  More than anything the sound of people eating just drives me crazy.  Here are some tips to not be a douchebag when you go to the cinema:

1) If you're going to eat popcorn or anything that is going to be an annoying/disgusting noise, please sit far away from anybody else and eat your fatty snacks on your own.

2) Don't get up in the middle of the fucking film and walk in front of people.. that shit is annoying.  If you feel like you may have to leave during the movie, sit in a convenient area.

3) Shut the fuck up.

And that's basically it.


If anybody is wondering what I went to see.. if anybody even reads this damn thing.. then I will give my little opinions of them and include the trailers.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo:

I was impressed with this film.. I didn't expect it to be a thriller but it did have me on the edge of my seat.  Some pretty hardcore scenes that were not the easiest to sit there and watch, I can definitiely see how it earned the 18 certificate. Overall, loved it and would still pay to go and see it again.

The Iron Lady

This film managed to move me to tears.  It doesn't have a story so much as in it is more of a documentation of Margaret Thatcher's life.  I'm not sure whether it was appropriate to release this film before her death, but I think it has done her some justice despite the fact it highlights her illness quite significantly.  I have a lot of new found respect for this woman.
