That's only cos you're Billy No Mates. I bet you ask people to go with you really, but they always make excuses like, 'Oh sorry, Silly, I'm watching a film on my lovely blu ray player and 52" Sony, whilst supping a lovely glass of malt, thank you very much, but another time maybe.'

While indeed being a partial truth, I respectfully disagree. Or disrespectfully, whichever makes me sound like a bigger ****.

Many people I know can't seem to ingest as many films as I do on a regular basis, despite the fact that they are also film students and should be doing such a thing for the benefit of the course anyway. I'll be hitting up a triple bill today, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Green Zone and Shutter Island. With any luck that'll be in ascending order of quality.

Woe is me, Silly No Mates.

How do you manage to see three films in a day and not spend much money in day to day life? I assume you're on a cinema concession card.

I'd like your life, please, if you're ever tired of it.

Cineworld Unlimited Card. Trust me, I make the most of it. £13.50 a month, I'm reasonably certain I'm getting at least £40 a month out of it. I'm revelling in student life right now, got one more year of it before I'll have to attempt to grow up and get a job.

Then revel away young man, while you can. Student days are good times.

I did some tallying up. In the last 9 days, I have seen approximately £46 worth of films. I reckon I'll clear £1000 by years end pretty easily.

There are no Cineworld plexes near me, only a stupid VUE that never shows anything good and is full of chavs and smells like farts and popcorn.

I wonder why VUE and Odeon aren't going for something like this (perhaps our VUE employee can enlighten us?) Is it the kind of thing Cineworld could have patented?

I suspect most Cineworlds are in places where there are lots of other cinemas, so they want to capture a loyal clientbase. If you just have the one cinema in town you automatically have the customers i guess.
