£5 for the cinema, or £2.50 each if you take someone on orange wednesdays. Hardly a rip off. Some films are worth the cost. You'll never get the quality, the true surround sound atmosphere, nor the nostalgic cinema routine from your desk chair.
I hate to admit that I also watch films/get music online. Yet knowingly acknowledge it's changing the film industry immensely..
I'm doing film studies at uni, and we always use the on-campus cinema for all film viewing.
