Cinematic ruminant
Arghhh! The dearth of good, recent movies in melb! You'd figure that being a metropolitan city in Victoria it'd have a wide range of movies catering to different tastes. Haha you were just being naive. Well a list of some of the movies shown: Bourne Supremacy, Terminal, Cinderella Story, Shark's Tale and blahblah. All the indie movies' premieres are way later than in spore (and you thought spore was waylaid by the censors). Love me if you dare, zatoichi, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, farenheit are showing in One cinema. Not that I've watched all the movies prior to this complaint.Next up are the prices: eleven aussies for a movie! Well nine if you buy it from the uni's union house which for obvious practical reasons (and I suspect a scheme hatched by governmental and private commercial institutions) is closed during the school hols. So if you want your monthly cinematic fix be prepared to pay a neat sum. Otherwise there are always alternative entertainment options like: shopping, clubbing, pubbing and indulging in the cafe culture. All of which, by sheer coincidence I suppose, will burn a significantly larger hole in any city dweller's pocket.
