I need more cake to get me through Avatar
Not only that but people sit through films discussing them, you're not BARRY FUCKING NORMAN, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH AND LET THE REST OF THE CINEMA ENJOY THE FILM!!! Can't they keep their thoughts to themselves for two hours? Does the rest of the room have to endure their verbal diarrhea?
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!
These things are not the only things that get me mad about the cinema at Centretainment. The ceiling lights in the picture house are off centre. I notice it every time I go. It makes me mad. Right, listen, the ceiling is made up of lots of what appear to be two foot by two foot square tiles. There are three rows of lights running from the back of the room to the front and these are embedded in the tiles. But they're not embedded in the centre of the tiles, rather they are haphazardly placed within the surface area of the tile. This begs the question, which came first the tiles or the lights? If the lights were there first it would explain why they are off centre from the tiles. But if that's the case, then what was there before the tiles? What held the lights up? And just why was whatever it was removed to make way for the tiles? If the tiles came first, you'd think that the electrician who put the lights in would have centred them in a tile, keeping an aesthetic within the confines of the movie theatre. Also, the lights are not even equally aligned down the ceiling. One of the rows is closer to the wall than it's opposite number. It's like the whole thing was designed by a gang of retarded monkeys with no hands. SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?? Is it all there just to try to fuck with my mind? Am I being toyed with by Centretainment, is this all just a massive psychological game to see how long I last before my mind shatters into a million pieces?
You are literally blowing my mind...
Berny and I were chatting on site the other day when he asked the question 'what's your favourite love song?' Given that Berny is a Punk and still thinks it's 1976, I would have thought his idea of a love song would be something along the lines of Bell-End Bop by GBH it quite surprised me when he said his favourite love song was 'Hello' by Lionel Ritchie. This was because a girl he once knew had given him the single as a sign of her affection. Being the little Rat Scabies punk he was he placed the disc upon the turntable, allowed the opening bars to begin then promptly threw the fucking thing out of the window. This song is not only hilarious for that reason, watch the video, at about three and half minutes through, Lionel, the protagonist calls the woman of his dreams. She's blind, not only does he call this vulnerable young woman in the middle of the night but he waits nearly five full seconds before saying anything. All she can hear is his heavy breathing down the line, then he bellows 'HELLO!' at her. The poor girl must be frightened out of her wits. He may as well be saying 'I'm outside your house and can see you. Get ready cos I'm coming in and I've got a knife!' Later about five minutes into the video she sculpts a clay head that is supposed to look like Lionel, it turns out more like one of the heads on Easter Island. But she is blind after all...
The crops are failing! Raise another statue for the Gods!!
Berny also asked me what my favourite Gay Anthem was, my vote is always in the YMCA camp (don't excuse the pun...). Berny's was something by Kylie. There was a silence for a while until Berny broke it by asking what my favourite heterosexual song was. I told him Sniper At The Fag Parade by Meat Shits.
Can I get this at my local HMV?
I'm moving to York tomorrow, the house doesn't have internets connection yet so there may not be any more postings for a wee while. We'll see how we get on.

I like the bit where you got peturbed/vexed by your cinema visit.
My favourite love song is "All for you" by Motorhead.
I thought you DID sit at home watching telly whilst shovelling hand fulls of jelly tots in to your gaping maw. It appears I was wrong. For this, I apologise.
I stopped going to cinemas years ago for the same reason. I also hate people coming in 15 minutes after the film has started and then asking you to stand up so they can get past. And then the same people, 10 minutes later, asking to come past again so they can go and get food.
The last time I went to the cinema I was surprised by how many people did get up during the film to buy more popcorn, drinks, M&Ms or hot dogs. For once I'm with Alex on this!
Also the ceiling tiles will have come last. They don't hold the lights up - they are built into beams or some other construction and then the ceiling tiles are added latter to make everything look neat.
PS - I like the bit: "the house doesn't have internets connection yet so there may not be any more postings for a wee while"
I like the bit where you suffer.
I have to agree with you on the cinema though. I won't go in the places any more cos it's always full of Bovine Cunts wandering about like sheep in shoes.
My favourite love song is " I hate love songs" by GWAR

I don't think Lionel will be feeling quite so romantic when his weird paternalistic sex obsession with that blind student gets him the sack.
I always thought 'Hello' would be better if it turned out that she had made a sculpture of Little Richard not Lionel Ritchie. That way everyone is embarrassed at the end and Lionel realizes that it's rude to shout 'Hello' at people when they can't see you.
I liked this post because the cinema rant is the exact same rant you had when we went to see Paranormal Activity. Especially the bit about the lights. Maybe you should stop going to Centretainment and only go to small, independently owned cinemas where people actually ENJOY films.
Also - why do people have to check their phones in the cinema? I hate seeing the screens light up. They're obviously not interested in the film if they're checking the time so why don't they just fucking leave??
My favourite love song is DEFINATELY Happily Ever Cadaver by Wednesday 13.
My favourite love song is Liar by Henry Rollins. I am a bitter, ice hearted woman.
