h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Anyone been to the cinny recently?
I've not been for ages. So I haven't seen Underworld or A Cock and Bull Story or anything else for that matter...
Any recommended rentals or screnings?

My brother tells me Brokeback Mountain is well worth missing...

And you haven't seen A Cock and Bull Story yet either?

I'd not been planning to see Bareback Mounting anyway...

I'm not very organised when it comes to the cinema. I guess I'll have to wait for the Cock & Bull DVD. For some reason, I'd thought it was going to be on TV, not at the cinema.

"Bareback Mounting"

King Kong had a lot of good reviews.

Does Kong live in the new version?

I'm thinking of going to se 'Fun With Dick and Jane' and maybe 'Memoirs of a Geiko.'

I need to find out about 'The Hillside Strangler' and few other dvds I've seen that look interesting.

I've no idea.

'Memoirs' sold really well as a book, and the trailers to the film look great.

I'm gonna check if I can get membership at my prefered cinny without credit or debit cards. I may have been foolish to make the assumption that I was still disenfranchised from that, pay the price of entry to 2 film every month and you get see as many films as you care to. It's just the kind of deal that would suit me. I love film and hate having to often dismiss seeing any film I have the least suspicion I'll not enjoy on a budget basis and knowing that they'll take my money wether I've seen a film or not will give me added incentive to get out and about.

That sounds like a great deal. My brother should do that: he's fond of the cinema.

What do you mean by, "still disenfranchised from that"? Do you have to have the right credit rating or something?

I wish I had the membership option, it's almost $10 to go to a move here, $25 when Kris and I both go.... stupid inflated prices...

£6.50 a film here, not the days of the cheap matinee anymore.


I've only had a building society account for seven and a half months. So I don't really have outstanding credit rating.

I wear my hair in plaits and go to see 12s and get in on kids prices

Good for you.

I suppose you could always TRY wearing your hair in plaits to the cinema, Azathoth.

It'd be more like braids...

And here I thought that braids and plaits were pretty much the same thing?

I thought so too. What's the difference?

They are more or less, except that braiding is tighter or smaller, using less hair in each one commonly worn by men a woman where as plaits are thicker and longer and more associated with the feminine.
What I was saying is that I don't really think I've enough hair for plaits.

I see... but if you put beads on the ends of the braids?

Also, wear a gymslip and paint some freckles on your face. That'll fool 'em.
