Another thing:-
Decided to play a DVD and in the machine it goes like a reluctant letter. Then instead of going straight to the main menu it starts with 32 adverts for other films I have no interest in viewing. Ten minutes I actually get to the main menu and I start the film, by the way I would have clicked through these but that option was denied with a sinister red OPTION DENIED symbol. The film starts with a cornucopia of different companies who were apparently involved in the making. Touchstone then New Line Cinema then Pixar then Warner Bros then Miramax and Dreamworks. Blimey there’s more companies than cast members.
It’s a bit like the trial by combat of going to the cinema. They tell you to arrive and the film starts at 19:30 but no! Dada dada dada d’da da da da dada dada dada aaaaoooaaagh ah! Sodding Pearl & Dean adverts for 45 minutes. Then the lights come up you purchase a cardboard tub o ice cream and a Kia-Ora, finally the lights go down and the main feature starts. Nope they start with adverts for up and coming newly released movies! Once the main feature does actually start you want a piss and you miss half the film trying to find the men’s room like Peters & Lee searching for a blackboard in a coal cellar! All I want to do is watch a film not waste half my remaining life experiencing banal and vacuous advertising.
Let your dreams run wild in an exciting, welcoming, enchanting, friendly and aromatic restaurant close to this very cinema. Yes the Taj Mahal in Boutport St all advertised with the sound of an out of tune sitar. Or, do you want to be trendy at the discotheque? Do you want to look your best dancing to the latest combos from the hit parade, wearing the latest London fashions? Then why not visit The Baron in Holland Walk etc etc etc. I only ever wanted was to JUST watch a sodding film!
