    It might be worth looking around. At least over here, independent/small chain cinemas are making a bit of a comeback.

    I’m a lot happier to pay £10 for a big, comfortable, motorised recliner. It’s a lot better than the tiny hard seats in the big chains.

      When I lived in Brooklyn, there was Alamo Cinema Grill. No phones were allowed to be used, nor was any talking permitted. If you made so much as a peep, or if you pulled your phone out, they kicked you the fuck out. Period. And ticket prices were reasonable. They also served food and drinks. Silently. Which was awesome. They also had cool, comfy seats, and they didn’t play 12 hours worth of shitty TV commercials before the film began.

      I don’t live in Brooklyn anymore.
