QUOTE (Bill1 @ Jun 25 2009, 10:15 AM)  "Screening tots"? Were they showing the films or just starring in them?  What with your comment about Newbury roadworks and this post I see you are in full pedant mode at the moment Bill1........keep up the good work! |

I hate cinemas.
Way too expensive Daylight robbery for food and drink - woe betide anyone trying to sneak bag of supermarket-bought Maltesers (other sweets are available) Too much chatting and not enough watching. Someone who has seen it 20 times before insisting to tell their mates what happens next. Surly staff who have no concept of customer service lousy films with very little plot that rely on effects rather than story. |

QUOTE (Darren @ Jun 25 2009, 11:13 AM) Too much chatting and not enough watching. Don't generally find this but then again I don't go to the cinema during half term  QUOTE (Darren @ Jun 25 2009, 11:13 AM) Someone who has seen it 20 times before insisting to tell their mates what happens next. Nope never experienced this, if it was somebody I knew though I would tell them shut up. QUOTE (Darren @ Jun 25 2009, 11:13 AM) Surly staff who have no concept of customer service True but you get this everywhere so just bounces off of me QUOTE (Darren @ Jun 25 2009, 11:13 AM) lousy films with very little plot that rely on effects rather than story. Surely depends what you see? |

Don't think there is much point in inviting Darren for a night out at the cinema.

Cinemas don't do a strip search. Just put your food in another bag. |

I think the new cinema will bring new life to the town, because i should think there will be swarms of people going to Newburys cinema. Plus when the films finish people will want to visit the shops on the way. ( thats if its during the day time) so i think the shops will pick up too.
I also got told that the cinema is being built into the 2nd floor of the kennet centre... which few people know about exists!! so i think thats where some screens will go. I for one am very excited about the cinema, as people said, it wont be so arduous having to go to Reading or Basingstoke. Just hop on a bus and go into newbury. Lets hope some nice food outlets go with it e.g. Nandos yummy |

Only one film, no cartoon to start off with and no ushers with trays of warm orange juice and melting ice creams. Boo I say, Boo!!!
