rip off or what?
« on: 30 March 2009, 11:48:02 »

Went to the flicks last night to watch The Haunting in Connecticut. Hadnt been to the flicks in ages so was quite looking forward to it. Quite a good movie,but i got a bigger fright before i even sat down.
2 tickets @ £6.15 each
2 hotdogs @ £ 3.95 each
1 bottle budweiser, £ 3.15
1 very small bottle white wine, £ 3.90
£27.25 to go watch a bloody movie!!!!!  And that was us going for a cheap night out instead of going to the pub!! >:( >:(

Ouch. Me and the wife, or should that be the wife and I, go out on a Friday evening to a litlle pub, have two small meal's and I usually have 2 pints of cider and a double southern comfort, she does not drink alcohol. It don't cost that much, that's for sure. I fact I would even say in the current climate it has got cheaper, and there are less people in the pub.
No wonder I have not been to the movies in 20 years +.

we have found a cheaper option to get that cinema affect, we just turn the lights off, put in a dvd, then play a recording of people coughing & farting all over the place & rattling popcorn while film is showing, then to top it off we put double sided sticky tape to our shoes to give that "pepsi soaked carpet" affect ;D ;D ;D

When me and the wife went too see The Dark Knight...the total bill for two of us with food and drink and upgraded seats (like arm chairs) came too about £4.

Still thats the Philippines for ya... ;)
