I think it might be time to subscribe to a DVD-mail-rental service, so I can catch up on all the films I’ve not yet seen (complete works of Preston Sturges here I come…) while I spend the next few months missing a large proportion of the films I might want to see, or waiting weeks for them to arrive. Yay, West Cornwall cinema-going.
I live within half an hour of four cinemas. They’re all owned by the same company. They are all around half an hour from each other (and people in this part of the world are generally used to driving places). Yet they are all showing the Exact Same films. You’d think they might put at least one different film on in each, to provide a bit of variety – especially allowing smaller, independent films to be seen by lunatics like me. It’s especially annoying as none of the films they’re showing are Four Lions, which I want to take my dad to see as I think he’d like it. It’s on in Falmouth (which is a student town), which is about 45 minutes away. So long, planet, I will be driving a lot this summer if I want to see good films, clearly.
