Adventures in cinema
Granted, it'd been a while since I'd been to the Multinational impersonal cinema complex, but things have deteriorated even further. Whether you want to our not, you will "pick" your seat when you reserve your ticket (and pay extra for it, because you didn't have the sense to book your seat from behind your pc at home), not an easy thing to do when three people are standing at three different terminals trying to pay for their tickets separately.
And -how handy- there's a mini supermarket attached to the cinema now. Before you can have your ticket scanned in, you're surrounded by books and DVDs, sweets, drinks (bargains at € 2.30 a bottle) and even sandwiches -for those of us who are health-conscious-.
It made me miss the days of standing in a queue in the rain, waiting for a rude cashier who asked to see your "student pass" when you paid cash (150 fr) for your cinema ticket. And they even came and sold drinks and snacks during the intermission. Yep, it even made me miss the intermission.
(And by the way, if you want to see a ridiculous, unrealistic, over the top film: do try "Untraceable")
- In other news: I've been feeling nauseated since Wednesday now. Let me make a deal with you, bacteria or virus, or whatever you are. You either make me really sick and then fuck off in a day's time. Or you stop making me "vaguely sick" right this minute. Thank you.-
