Indeed. It's not like T2 was a particularly complicated plot but it had a supremely confident and talented director in James Cameron and a cast that made you believe in the film. Really a blueprint for the modern action film.Quote:

In any case, I love things being quieter around here (away from all the hustle and bustle), for all sorts of reasons, so enjoy it when we've often got nearly a whole section of a cinema to ourselves - as it's always nice and quiet! I think there were less than a dozen people watching Terminator DF with us last Sunday - and that was during half term:)
Yeah, JS will be great, as will the pre-gig curry in one of our fav (traditional old curry houses): https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...oiowCnoECBAQBg
Curries like they used to taste, enjoyed inside Indian restaurants like they used to look (back in the 70s/80s), whilst sat in cosy booths with muted lighting - none of yer cold, soulless modern bollox there!:cool:

Anyway, we're going to see Dr Sleep later, so looking forward to it. I'll count how many others are in there with us:D;)
Marco,
Just back... WOW, what a film!! Just STUNNING in every way, especially for fans of the original 'The Shining'. I'll comment more later, but save to say it's one of the best films I've seen in years.... Highly recommended!
Marco.
Oh, meant to say there were 22 people there this time watching the film, not including us, so quite busy! Must've been because it was a Friday night:D
Marco.
The cinema will close if that is all the amount of users it attracts.
That was just in 'Screen 5' where we were, mate. No idea how busy the other 'Screens' were, but there wasn't many folk milling around the cinema itself before the film, which IME is typical - as is the level of attendance in the various Screens. They're always near empty.
And it's been like that for years... Maybe I don't choose the most popular films?:eyebrows:
Marco.
you sayin' folk in wrexham are wooses???:eyebrows:Quote:

In any case, it guarantees that it's nice and quiet, with no bloody phones going off or idiots munching crisps, etc!
