The Day We Went Movie-Hopping
To watch a movie here you’ve gotta pay CDN$11.95, and your ticket is a piece of receipt paper. Hmm.
And it’s FREE SEATING.
Which poses several problems:
1. You can buy your ticket way early, but end up having to sit at the front because you didn’t join the line-up early enough (don’t we all have better things to do than join the line half an hour before the movie starts).
2. Inconsiderate people deprive you of a good seat because they think their bags deserve them more than you do.
3. Your unable-to-make-decisions friends cannot make up their minds on good seats, and make you move from row to row in order for them to decide.
But I guess the good thing about it is that we can buy our tickets only half an hour before the movie and go right in and get good seats?
And being cheapo Singaporeans students on a tight budget, we sneaked into another theatre for another movie after, and no one cared. I guess many systems here go on trusting-the-general-public’s-integrity basis, so people like us work our way easily into the loopholes.
On another note, I am pleased with the censorship here, or lack thereof. Heh. Nudity scenes come in PG-rated films!
