We go a couple of times a month, but I think if our local independent cinema closed we would hardly go at all, as the next closest would be a 50 mile round trip.
Our local one is definitely what we used to call a ‘flea pit’ when I was younger; scruffy, two smallish screens, not terribly good sound proofing so quiet moments in one film means you can hear sounds from the screen next door [laugh]
BUT it’s walking distance from home, gets most of the latest films and costs a princely £4.50 a showing, recently increased from £3.50.
And no annoying ads!

These days it takes a very,very good film for me to go to the cinema and sit there for 2or 3 hours. The last one was the Bob Dylan film, A Complete Unknown, which I did enjoy. I am getting too old to put up with the trashy ads before the film even starts,too. The last ones were 30 minutes,far too long. The cinema near us has layback adjustable seats, all mod cons but it was almost empty when we went- are others the same as me and would rather watch things on tv these days ? I suppose the bigger sized tvs are making a difference,too.
