We pre booked and paid about £9 to see the latest allegedly final Downton Abbey film in Dundalk in the MAXX screen theatre.
It was a delightful watch in this charmless world mostly ruled by monsters as WW3 (which has started - economics/natural resources/trade wars) and we will go to see it again very soon. We'll stay north and save £2 each too. I read the view of one critic whose name I don't recall whose bitchy review I didn't recognise and at one point I wondered if we'd seen a different flick.
The cinema was clean and fresh and a far cry of picture houses when I grew up full of dandruff, bits of chewing gum, rancid tobacco smells and brylcreem residue. The product was invented in Birmingham England in 1928 and for years was omnipresent around me among boys and men from I could work things out for myself. It and Old Spice. What a combo which I completely shunned. Old Spice was originally targetted at women.
I digress so I'd expected our centre near to front armchair seats to push button recline but no. The place was packed and I was surprised to see a kit of young women but not many young men and of course no shortage of us disputably described as 'old'.
This was a disappointment but the rain hammering on the roof a few times really marred enjoyment so there's no decent soundproofing: but I'm assured global warming is merely a figment of my imagination if that's wrong drill baby drill may become die baby die.
The popcorn and other food offerings like every cinema I've been in are grotesquely overpriced so we brought our own.
We enjoyed it but I do think I'll stay north of the border for movies in future. read more
