Angels With Dirty Faces (Michael Curtiz, 1938)
I genuinely find it unacceptable that I am expected to pay just short of £10 to sit in a large room with unnecessarily large chairs, constantly high air conditioning, strangers who eat loudly and extortionately priced food just because I want to see a film that I’ve been looking forward to for aaaaaages.
It really irritates me that companies don’t see this stupid cycle they’ve managed to get themselves into. Of course there are less people going to the cinema when to do is so costly. That and the fact you’re positively against promoting British, foreign and diverse film for no real reason in particular.
