RE: Mal was ganz anderes: Kinozeit! - „Amsterdam“ / Something completely different: Cinema time! - "Amsterdam"
Congratulations for being inside a cinema hall and having a fun time. As far as I am concerned, I went to watch my last movie back in December 2018 with a kid and watched a children's movie. I was mentally supporting that child, so I watched it with my coworker's child in Sydney. It was probably "Donkey on the Run." I enjoyed the movie because the child was happy.
You have done a good job here, a perfect review.
Yes, I had also thought about when and for which film I had last visited a cinema before: it was 2015, on 21st October! On this special day, Marty McFly lands in the future in 1989's "Back to the Future"... For this occasion, there was a "triple" with all three parts at once and an original DeLorean in front of the door ;-))
Great! I used be a regular during my travel days but later I stopped going to cinema halls, maybe lack of time. But now I avoid. But I a planning to go see one to check how does it feel like sitting in a multiplex :) The multiplex have drastically reduced ticket price off late.
Three at a time must be time consuming, no?
It went on all night. I think it started at 7 pm. Between the parts there were long breaks with catering and talks. The event ended at 4 in the morning... The "Lord of the Rings" triple took even more time: as each part was overlong in itself...
I don't have the feeling that tickets have become cheaper due to the multiplexes. We paid 11 euros per ticket the other day - in Steem that would be about 66 at the current rate. It was a discounted day, as I wrote. Is that cheap? What do you have to pay?
No, I was talking about ticket rates in India. They have slashed ticket prices by half because there are no takers. I know the euro rate because I trade in Forex lol. Our rates in multiplexes were a minimum of $8, and single screens were $3.And then compare Germany with India and the living standards!
Now the multiplexes have cut them in half, but popcorn is still the same price. Haha, I am no longer going to the movies, so it makes no difference.
As I said, I used to go to the movies when I was in traveling job (as a sales engineer for Oelikon Fon or Oerlikon AM) I am sure you must have heard this name. It's in collaboration with Germany.
I actually know Oerlikon as a supplier for additive manufacturing, powder coating and things like that...
Of course I am aware of the price difference between Germany and India. But believe me, even here a cinema ticket is considered quite exorbitant. Especially since popcorn is even more expensive. We saw a portion for 13 euros... What I want to say is: culture should be affordable for everyone. It is not at the moment ;-((
You're right because Australia is even costlier where the movie ticket is minimum AU$15 and of course popcorn sales in bigger tumblers and they offer a combined price for ticket and popcorn lol. Yep, I agree, the world should be more considerate to adjust everyone.
