Do You Watch Movie In Cinema These Days?

[Narong Wongwan]

You go to a cinema to watch with your friends and loved ones. It is an outing, an experience that cannot be replicated with online or DVD watching.

Occasionally you go to the cinema to watch a movie alone too, because you're into obscure movies with an 'artistic theme', and no friend you know has a taste for the genre.

Yes back then cinemas were big and going there was an experience.
You go to the coffeeshop to have ice cream before or after the movie......kacang puteh man.....there's ushers to show you to your seats.......i would go in early wait for the lights to dim and watch the commercials........then came the interval/intermission period.........then the move starts proper.
No 3D and those fancy sound systems.......cinemascope was good enough.

Been a long time since I've been to the cinema in Spore. I think the last movie was "Mission Impossible" & the only reason I went was because my employer paid & it was during company time

More recently I've gone to the cinema in KL for RM$10 to RM$12. How much do they now charge in Spore?

Being a dad it's hard to go to the movies. But It's also a blessing in disguise because I save alot of money by not going to the movies. Instead I buy pirated stuff in JB. Blue ray disc and rip it to my hard drive and media player. Now I got hundreds of movies at my fingertip at a fraction of the cost. Most movies are crap anyway these days. The only movie I can tolerate watching over and over again is Finding Nemo.

I can remember when it was only 50 cents at Koek Road. That is a stones throw from Orchard Road.

Movie ticket (in my opinion) is no loner cheap.
Honestly, I can't really afford to watch movies in cinema so often.
Do you still go to cinema these days?

Yes I go to Yangtze and watch lar sup movie Forget about those cinemas in town, they are meant for youngsters

Just wait to download the movie. The internet is a wonderful thing. Furthermore I dont even watch the movies on the plane,,have already seen them all.

the movie I watched last in cinema was Out of Africa by Meryl Streep and Robert Redford


:o:o:o

Way back when!, the movies were an escape from the daily grind & at that time, it was school..anyway, there was not much choices, back when , I watched almost 2-3 movies a week & almost that much, when I started working. With the availability of VHS tape ( remember them), then DVD & now Blu Ray...the last movie, I remember watching at the cinema was , Harry Potter & The Philosopher's or was it Sorcerer's Stone? The tickets were expensive, the drinks & popcorn were too, you can not bring your own food & drinks...since then, I have not step into a cinema. Now I watch my movies by Blu Ray, through iTunes, You tube..Internet.

Still, watching movies at home cannot compare watching it in a cinema hall, annoyances aside...& when younger, the upstairs stalls & back rows..are "rubba, rubba" time with girlfriends.. ha ha ha it is a movie experience!!..."hot"

50cts at Pacific , great world, just to name one...$3.00 current block buster...$1 - $1.50 normal.

 

[sleaguepunter]

weekday tickets @ $7.50 each. normally will take leave during school holidays to bring son to movie, ie.. smurfs, Epic, etc etc... animated movie. when he was younger under 7, it $8.50 for both of us, plus the popcorn combo, then it $15 altogether. as my son rather small size, i usually tell the cashier son only K2(6yo) when he actually primary 1(7yo). now cannot pull that stunt liao, so it $15 for tickets plus another $3.50 for a kid size popcorn and drink. i think there after discount that cinema give to certain banks visa and all mastercard.

Too many (even confusing) restrictions on all sorts of plastic and membership to get disounts. Straight forward 1 is HSBC GV pre-paid card for flat $7.50 even on weekends.

Last time outside cathay got kacang puteh man sell it for $1 using the yellow pages, now being forced to buy from cathay, 3-4 times more expensive. When it all add up, a movie outing cost the better part of $30 for a couple.
