More crazy from the big crazy-bucket.
I got a Cineworld unlimited card yesterday. You pay £11.99 a month, and you can see as many movies as you want. I was in one of the theaters and heard someone say to their friend "Who would see that many movies?" I wanted to turn around and say "Actually - me. Really, you see two movies a month and it's paid for itself!"
But does it? I mean I certainly would go and see at least two films a month(there's a reason I studied Film at Falmouth last year) and as tickets are £6 each then anything after that would be 'free movies'. But at the same time, surely the card just reduces how much I pay to see each movie as I see more of them rather than cancelling out cost altogether. If I see 4 movies, it's £3 a ticket, 6 movies, £2 a ticket. I'm increasing the value, but I can't quite work out if I'm saving money. But at the same time, I obviously am saving money.
I'm sure any normal person would just go with the "two movies paid itself" thing, but I can't seem to let it lie. I guess part of it is the guilt over signing up for a direct debit to pay for the card. For some reason I feel bad about it, despite the fact that I see at least 5 films a month so it just makes sense to minimize that cost.
And of course, none of this factors in the cost of food at the multiplex. Jeez.
