Do You Go To The Picture House Still?
54 Answers
Personally I cant stand the places. I liked to have a beer with mine and sit in a comfy seat without interruption from people all around me so I gave up many years ago. Plus the cost is ridiculous.
Looks like I am not alone, how about AB'ers?

Yes , I still go to the cinemas , on occasions
Mainly to see films like James Bond - in fact the last time I went was to see the last one .
The reason I go is that the sound effects obviously are a million times better than that on your tv ; and films like JB to a large extent rely on the sound effects to enhance the experience .
What I particularily hate is the endless trailers , before the films starts

No I don't go and I doubt I will while some oily gonk in California decrees that a good film is a 'reimagining' of garbage from American comics or big eyed cartoon creatures voiced by 'stars' crowbarring lame jokes into no story.
And don't even start on the whole 'reboot' thing. Pretentious marketing of lame repeats.

Last time I went was to see Tootsie back in 1982 and the time before that was to see The Exorcist in around 1973 it was a lot longer film back then to the one they show these days. In early 70s the cinema in Veovil had a bar at the back so could grab a pint and see film at same time a much more pleasant experience.

We normally go once a week - on a Sunday.
The last time our entertainment was impacted by talking or inconsistent behaviour by anyone was about five years ago.
What I have noticed is that shows are very rarely ever sold out - even for 'tentpole' movies (Star Wars, for example). This I put down to the fact that ticket prices are incredibly high, and people know that a film that comes out in January can be seen on streaming services by June.
Two people going to the movies can easily mean a spend of over £50 today. I'm convinced that is a major factor in the downturn in numbers - but the film industry isn't worried by this, because even though cinema audiences may be dwindling, they have other revenue streams (merchandise, DVDs/blu-rays, streamed content) to rely on.
