I saw the Woody Allen film "Mighty Aphrodite" at a packed cinema in Lancaster once. All the folk there were obviously Woody Allen fans and laughed uproariously at the jokes. I thought the film was great. Then I saw the same film on TV and didn't seem as good, I barely laughed. I've only seen one pirate DVD. There were no people getting up to go to the loo, but the film (Alien vs Predator, I think it was) had french subtitles on screen. The film was rubbish. I certainly wouldn't have paid to see it. They'd have to pay me I think... Hi Clare, thanks for dropping by. :-)

I’ve only seen one pirate DVD. There were no people getting up to go to the loo, but the film (Alien vs Predator, I think it was) had french subtitles on screen. The film was rubbish. I certainly wouldn’t have paid to see it. They’d have to pay me I think…

It always makes me sad to see how empty our local cinema is the majority of the time. You frequently get an auditorium to yourself. I like it when loads of people show up and interact with the film, making you feel a part of something. And (sort of) for that reason... I'm actually finding the idea of a pirated DVD complete with people nipping to the loo, and maybe cheering when the bad guy gets it... rather tempting.
