Good tip on the Maltesers there *om nom nom*
Also, I was similarly surprised by The Hangover being funnier than it’s trailer and quite pleased that I paid to go and see it as a result. Transformers 2, markedly less so.

The thing is, how do you know a film isn’t going to be epic fail until you’ve seen it? They’re like Schrödinger’s cat until that point.

I paid £25 or something crazy for two tickets to see The Hangover at Vue in Leicester Square, London on a Sunday afternoon. Golly gosh!

I wasn’t too happy about paying that amount of money, but was assured it was worth it because we were in the premier screen. What the beeheebiejeebies is different about the premier screen from all the other f’ing screens? Diddly-squat from what I could tell (it was dark, after all!).

Anyway, cinema’s are hit and miss. No…films are hit and miss. Cinemas are bonk.

Incidentally, Maltesers are on offer at Sainsburys at the moment. £2 for the big bags. They say ‘More to Share’ on them, but ignore that. One bag per person!

That is all.

P.S. The Hangover was funnier than the trailer. Made a nice change.

Well, you could just go see films that aren’t going to be epic fail. Personally I’m actually quite a big fan of the cinema, and whilst the product adverts piss me off, I like seeing trailers for new films. However I don’t go to the cinema just for the sake of it, and only go when there’s something I actually want to see. This means I mostly manage to miss out on being utterly disappointed, although it’s not a foolproof plan. It can be expensive (student card FTW ) but I still like it in a rather old-fashioned way, to the extent that I almost want to see Pathé Newsreels before the film.

And yes, I am only 25.
