Re: Cinema/Movie ticket prices

Going to see any film at the cinema is always a bit of a lottery.

How do you decide which film to see? The da Vinci Code was panned by the critics, but people obviously feel it is the 'must see' film because of it's worldwide success at the box office.

You pays your money and you takes your chance.

I don't really think you can expect to get your money back at the interval if the film's not to your taste. Where would that scenario end?

A football match is rubbish, demand your entrance fee back at half time?

On holiday to a sunny clime it rains, ask for your travel agent to fly you back after three days?

A date doesn't even get you to first base, ask your dinner companion for the cost of their sausage supper back?

I prefer to watch films in the comfort of my own home. You can smoke, stamp your feet if it's exciting and you can even put your feet on the seats and no one is going to tell you off.
