What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

[Orang Utan]

I just want one place where I can see what films people watched recently.
Going to the cinema is a rich man's luxury these days. I would prefer a more inclusive thread.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

oh, i forgot you do that, due to your bizarre and irrational hatred of the cinema

?

Well, dont be a lazy cunt, and no it isnt.

I recal you saying before you dont like the cinema, and giving a poor (imo) reason for that. I really cant be arsed to have that argument again tho.

I will be going to the pics to see this pretty damn soon, does that count?

Exactly.....there's lots of ways to see a film now....beyond dvd/video.

Streaming through smart TV and PC and file sharing etc.....it doesn't even include blu-ray in the thread title.

I think you have me mixed up with someone else. I love the cinema.

much better

What? And eh? It's about a tenner to go to the cinema these days.

fine, add them. Its wholly different to making the effort of a trip to the cinema tho

fair do's, maybe I was. But, as above, cinema and home viewing options are very very different things

How am I being a lazy cunt?
And yes, it is expensive to go to the cinema these days.

Because you cant be arsed to look at two whole threads. Diddums

And 'quite expensive' is different to 'a tenner'

 

[Nanker Phelge]

If you live in Brixton and go the nearest cinemas the average price is around £9.50....standard adult rate.

Which is not a terrible price.....less than 3 pints of beer.

This seems an odd time to be an abusive. It's just a minor difference of opinion on the way threads are used. I'm subscribed to both and enjoy reading them. I was just suggesting that it would make more sense to merge them cos they are both threads in which we discuss films we have watched recently.
A tenner IS expensive, waged or not.

cough, splutter. Bit bleeding rich coming from you!

And, as already said, there is a big difference between watching a film at home and at the cinema. Wholly different experiences, so it is worth having both threads.

A tenner IS expensive, waged or not.

who's argued anything else? Do you have a point?

 

[Orang Utan]

You claimed that 'a tenner' was not the same as 'quite expensive'.
No one's arguing that watching a film at the cinema is the same as watching at home. But it is handy reading about other people's opinions on them, whether they saw it at the cinema or not.

 

[Orang Utan]

BTW there ARE alternatives if you can't afford the cinema, but want to watch a film on a bigger screen than a tv or laptop monitor.
Places like this need our support:

Surely if you wanna go see lots of films in the cinema you get a membership?

I'm very sorry that you dont undserstand what the word 'different' means

No one's arguing that watching a film at the cinema is the same as watching at home. But it is handy reading about other people's opinions on them, whether they saw it at the cinema or not.

So no films should have ther own thread then, by that logic.

I like to know what is worth seeing at the cinema, what is cinematic rather than just being a good film. Bet way to do that is to have a thread for cinema, imo. You're welcome to keep all your posts here.

If you can afford it in the first place
Mind you, I got a year's BFI membership a couple of years ago and went just a couple of times

Of course, but that's not my point. I can afford it, I just don't bother.

 

[Orang Utan]

Fair point about what's cinematic I suppose.
I would still rather read about what films people have seen on one unwieldy superthread though!

Depends what you want to see. I am a member of a film club but they will never show the stuff i really want to see on the big screen.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

stuff i really want to see on the big screen.

We should start another thread for this........

Of course. Spoilt for choice here in London. Keep meaning to go to Secret Cinema (speaking of expensive cinema tickets), but never seem to get around to it.

All of Twin Peaks for me please.

BFI membership is worth it for the London Film Fest alone. I have it and I only really go to that and BUG. It's rare I go and see other stuff there, I should make more use of it really.

I don't mind merging this and the cinema thread and instead would have a film and a TV show thread. The cinema thread often feels a little neglected.

Nothing stops you from making one. Build it and they will come.
