00:00Do you find that you're going to the cinema less, that you're watching more films at home?
00:03I absolutely love the cinema. The problem with cinema is they're very very overpriced but I also
00:07understand that, you know, they're up against it. I think they need to diversify a little bit,
00:12start using them as public places, meeting places, showing films that they wouldn't normally show,
00:18more activities, getting involved with the community.
00:20Yeah, the culture changed a few years back. I was a kid back in the 80s, that was what it
00:26was Saturday, you used to go to Saturday morning pictures and it was all about going to the
00:31pictures. But then, you know, when prices for whatever reason double, tripled and quadrupled,
00:39the social experience of being next to someone in the cinema and having that experience was forgotten
00:45and I very much doubt they can re-remember that.
00:49I'm very passionate about cinema, I love cinema and I just want, you know, they've got to change.
