I don't go to cinemas anymore. a) they won't let me smoke, and I can at
home, and b) I always seem to get a bloke sat to my right who's chewing
through a roll of loft insulation, and a bloke 3 seats to my left
(always 3 seats, never within thumping distance) who's telling his
girlfriend the plot of the movie exactly one line ahead of the film, in
a loud whisper that can be heard in Mongolia.

I don't seem to get these problems. Perhaps it's because I go to films
that don't attract those with girlfriends who need the plot explaining to
them...

I prefer going to the early showings as the cinemas is never really full
and you can choose where to sit. That and the UGC do a £3 a seat before
12.00. Saw SotD with Fiona and we were the only two in - private showing
for £6. Still had to sit through the trailers though.

And while we're at it, why can't people just sit and watch a film
without needing to eat half a cwt of popcorn, two hot dogs, three
packets of crisps and drink a gallon of Coke?

No wonder we, as a nation, are obese.

Eat before you go out, FFS!

I don't understand Poker but I still watched and enjoyed the film. Am I
mentally deficient or a genius given your statement?

Neither, but you're capable, as an adult, of understanding the
emotions and actions of people in the game, even if you don't know the
exact rules.

I maintain that a 7 your old isn't. And that the game is the central
piece of the film.

To quote Bart Simpson, "If you don't watch the violence, you'll never
