£10.99 isn’t bad for unlimited film watching…

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago in SmellyBroom Blog.

…but £13.50 is a pretty fucking lot of money. That’s two price increases in the past two years and that is entirely unreasonable. I mean, just because everything else gets more expensive… How am I expected to find an additional £1.50 per month?

Bizarrely, I’ve decided that since cinema tickets here go for £4.70 each and I tend to watch at least 3 films a month, £13.50 is still fairly reasonable.

As a fun experiment, let’s sit down and work out if I’ve watched enough films in the past 2 years to make my monthly subscription worthwhile.

1st year’s subscription = £10.99 X 12 = £131.88
2nd year’s subscription = £11.99 X 12 = £143.88

Total cost over 2 years = £131.88 + £143.88 = £275.76

Total number of movies watched over 2 years = 83

Actual cost of student cinema tickets = £4.70 X 83 = £390.00

So yes, turns out it was worthwhile. All I have to do now is continue spending unhealthy amounts of time in the cinema seeing shit films that often make me angry and/or bored.

Can I ask how you know that you have watched 83 films in 2 years?

Easy. Just kept all the cinema tickets and stuck them on my wall. Think I’m up to 98 now including the last 3 months.

You could spend the remaining dough on popcorn, occasionally =]
