    My knee is jerking like crazy to find out that teddy boys have been fighting and slashing cinema seats during the showing of a certain film.

    I'm sure all those firm advocates of law 'n' order on here will be as horrified as me that this sort of thing could happen on the streets of England. A clear sign that the youth are out of control and need to be cracked down upon hard!

    A good bath, a haircut and a lengthy spell of national service/prison is the only solution for the young offenders and of course a blanket ban on Bill so-called Haley and all the rest of those bongo-bongo rock and roll peddlers. It's those darkie rhythms that drive them crazy y'know. Oh yes. And you can't even understand the words!

    The thing that surprised me is I found out that cinemas are still a thing.

    I reckon you wouldn't get much change out of £20 now? I stopped going when Star Wars episode IV was remastered and shown about 20 odd years ago. I was disgusted at the price the cleanliness of the cinema and the bucketloads of chavs around also in attendance that ruined it for me.

    I have a better cinema experience at home and I can do so with my preferred beverage of choice and it takes less than 6 months for the same films to be available to me.

    Yes, but not everyone is as much of a misanthrope as you.

    The sound is better. The screen is bigger. You get to feel like you work for MI5 by smuggling in contraband (externally bought popcorn). It's also not close to 20 quid.

    I even went to see this film in birmingham about knife crime and it felt so immersive, like I was actually there.

    Holes in the plot only matched the hole in your abdomen?

    I still can't believe that Star Wars is a thing. They managed to dupe millions of people into watching an ever expanding franchise of films, which were for their time in the late 70s/early 80s, quite revolutionary, but by today's standards, quite ordinary.

    I can't believe that they managed to get past Jar Jar Binks or that people were dumb enough in the late 1990s to queue and pay to watch the 1977 film with a few extra visual effects, even though the film had been on TV virtually every month for the past 24 years.

    Watched the first one with wide-eyed excitement c1977 ? Such a let down I've not watched any of the 183 since. Stupid beasts and robots making irritating noises to try to get you to like them.

    Well I had to go to the cinema to watch a documentary on Depeche Mode. An unbelievable experience. The sound was simply magnificent. Reclining seats, even a seat warmer. To round it up they had wine ,beer and snacks. Some movies or documentaries should only be watched at the cinema.
    But if you want to sit at home with your can of pale ale you're missing out big time.

    Pale Ale? Can? How dare you. More often than not a live bottled ale from a localish small brewery, a Ribera Del Duero red, one of my selection of 9 small batch Bourbons (straight no ice) or if push comes to shove a G&T of which I have 4 currently with 3 differing tonics.

    The meistertoriam is furnished with 4K visuals, Dolby Atmos compatibility with twin subs and until the last upgrade recently also THX certified. I have as yet to experience a more enjoyable immersive experience in a public auditorium although (although my mate's system based around a 120" projector runs it close) I do tend to pee the neighbours off a bit.

    I'm running HD multichannel audio from NAS, 4k Blueray, HD-DVD & SACD. Even the games room has recently been upgraded to a 5.1 4K capable so I can play pool or darts whilst viewing/listening.

    No need to share a coke stained seat with a load of noisy phone texting chavs and I can watch the film in my pants if I want.

    A disgraceful decision by Vue, a British film showcasing the lives of many London kids, directed by a young black director making his debut.

    Still came third in Box Office regardless.
