    Best/Worst Cinema Experience

    I’ve only been to the cinema once in goodness knows how long, and that was on a trip to London where the opportunity arose to see the Bond movie ‘Spectre’ at The Odeon on Leicester Square when it was just out. The reason I stopped going to the cinema isn’t because of a particularly shite experience with a guff movie, it was because of endless shite experiences caused by some members of Joe Public. I seem to attract them… the loud slurping popcorn crunching, talking all the way though the film, snottery sniffing types… maybe it’s me, because at gigs, I seem to end up these days with a gaggle of lassies near me who just shout at each other throughout the gig. I was a baw’ hair away once from just saying to them ‘what’s the fcuking point of you gobby shites buying tickets for this? Fcuk off to the pub’… but I didn’t, I thought it mind you, but I just moved away to another bit of the venue.

    Don’t want to come over as a killjoy auld kunt, I’m really not. Not looking for absolute silence or anything, just getting a low tolerance level these days for the loud gobshite concert shouters, or the snottery sniffers sat next to me anywhere. Hurrumph x 2.

    Anyway, the cinema, aye, so, will never forget back in the day, going to a screening of Led Zeppelin’s concert movie ‘The Song Remains The Same’ when I’d not seen them live yet, and was before videos never mind DVD or BluRay… it was in the Classic Grand porn cinema in Glasgow. Just thinking back while typing this gives me the boak… the venue that is, not the movie, even if it is self indulgent and wanky 1970’s excess… in fact, the perfect cinema for wanky 1970s excess, when you think about it.

    My pet hates are food, chatterboxes, mobile morons and adults taking kids who really shouldn't be at tge film.

    Thankfully I've found that using my app I can move seats away from the morons.

    When I worked in London, the best place to avoid those morons was the National Film Theatre. 

    At that time you were not allowed food or drink in full stop.  Anyone with a mobile phone out would face the wrath of the ever-vigilant staff (and customers). And god forbid if you tried to talk!!

    They've relaxed the rules since but still have a ban on hot food, savoury food and popcorn.

    Funnily enough, my worst experience (but also memorable fir all the wrong reasons) was also in London at the Streatham Odeon.  The film started and half the audience were still on mobiles and/or chatting.  This went on for 10-15 minutes until a 6ft 6" Irishman and built like a brick shithouse stood up a screamed that he was going to break the fucking hands off anyone who didn't put their phone away.  As you can imagine, it being London, some arsehole took him up on his offer and all hell broke loose.  I just scarpered as I could see where this was heading.

    Yes or No on this one then...(and so glad to see the Nats celebrating the return of Green votes to their govt)

    Is a Swinney led govt going to achieve the starting negotiations on Independence for Scotland this year? (Following the GE victory he is about to claim)?

    No, no really. More sad about the state of Scottish politics, when the Greens can be kicked out of the Cabinet only to effectively return a week later so that they can continue their agenda. And also of the continuing influence of Sturgeon...such is the hatred for Salmond that she can torpedo a deal with Alba and work to get the Greens back in.

    Trying to work out what's the worst take - this or the previous pile of drivelling shit you posted.

    Scottish Labour could've been so different if Monica Lennon had won their leadership election in 2021. Sarwar defeating her was a big win for establishment interests.

    Tbqh Monica Lennon would be a better leader of the SNP than Swinney or Forbes.

    The fact that you refer ro a "PhD of" rather than a "PhD in" is enough for me to make up my mind about the truthfullness of that statement.

    So, Doctor Jedi, any chance of some proof of this supposed decline in support for Yes?

    Reminds me of Professor Oaksoft.
