    £26 plus movie tickets are a joke, but cinemas have always charged stupid prices but were gullible enough to pay it 😢

      Have you got a Vue? They have just opened near me. It’s £4.99 or £9.99 for IMAX.

      DJ, my wife and I have been watching your vids for years - fantastic stuff. Appreciate all your hard work and loving the new channel. We wondered, given your love of music and background in singing, if you'd do a song on a vlog?

    Not worth £26. I always get snacks/drinks from the supermarket and sneak them in for the kids. Lots of other food options at the o2.

    Does the VIP include an area away from screaming kids and people who refuse to turn their phones off? If it does I'm all in.

    That looked like typical canteen food... If you want the VIP experience, then Everyman cinemas are your best bet... They feel luxurious and special and the cocktail bar waiting rooms are very grand... They also bring the food orders to your cinema seat.

    That VIP Lounge seems alright you know, Darren. £26 for all that. It seems like good value, to be fair. Chinese food; pizzas, hotdogs before we've even come to mention all the cokes, pepsis and nachos you can handle.
    They seem to look after you there. Its great that you can visit as many times as you like to watch films once youve paid the club fee.
    I love fresh, warm popcorn.. I like it salty rather than sweet . I noticed you grabbed yours thiugh from the fridge. I find it comforting eating popcorn watching a movie..Always have done ,
    I would snack before the curtains opened but i would also make sure i wasn't too full to snack again on a big carton of popcorn while the movie is actually playing.
    If you eat enough in the prelude to the movie you dont really need to return to the club and go again during the interval.
    Anyway, Darren, i found this video was different and enjoyable.

  • @richardtunstall9827
    @richardtunstall9827 Před 3 měsíci +4

    You’d pay at least £10 for popcorn and a drink at the cinema so for another £16 you get a good spread I reckon plus take some bottles of water with you like Darren said.

    Thanks for the heads up on that. So you eat before the film, fall asleep, wake up before the film finishes, miss the film and eat more. Not a very good idea. See the film then go eat, would be better. I won’t be doing that. I like my comfort food with quality. £26 at the City of Spice will do nicely instead.

Hotdogs,Kie Ora in a plastic cartons & maybe a choc ice😅. And always chips on the way home ( that newsprint took days to wash off).The brief glimpse of the film lounge, looked amazing ❤ Hope you enjoyed the film& your popcorn. See you in the next one Allan&Family

    I wouldn't pay that much for buffet food. Big Cinemas are ridiculously expensive.
    There is a tiny cinema in Wells Somerset that charges £5 a ticket and the snacks are really cheap. Give me that every day.

    Thanks for sharing with us DJ....good to see what you can expect at the VIP lounge.
    As you said, if you were to buy drinks & 🍿 popcorn & maybe some nachos or a hot dog, as well as paying for the film, you'd pay more.
    So not such a bad deal & the pizza 🍕 did look good....be nice if they had some soy sauce for the 🍜 noodles 👌

    That food looked alright-worth the price I would say.
    couldn't have that cauliflower cheese/pizza as Lactose Intolerant/allergic to Whey 🙄
    Do they still do the vegan pizza there as well, can't see it on the website for the one at 02-but at least they still have the vegan ice-cream options!
    What popcorn did you have sweet/salty or a bit of both Darren??
    Oh and what did you think of: Wicked Little Letters-from what I have seen advertised etc looks alright!

  • @nomadlonestar8004
    @nomadlonestar8004 Před 3 měsíci +2

    To answer the title of the video. Quite frankly no. Im fine with regular seats. And when it comes to the food and drink. With the exception of Cinema popcorn. I NEVER buy anything from the cinema food and drink section because quite frankly I don't like that they charge a premium for the same thing you can cheaper elsewhere. I always grab a bunch of snacks from either the co-op or Poundland beforehand. (that rymed) lol. A packet of M and M,s for instance. £3.99 in a cinema. But it's £1 in Poundland. Huge price difference.
    I remember many years ago two of my cinemas actually tried to stop people bringing there own food and drink into the cinemas. Stupid Idea because they scrapped that idea in only 3 weeks because they lost a lot of customers with that controlling approach. Just lower your damn price's and people will buy it more often.

  • @rogerhearn5243
    @rogerhearn5243 Před 3 měsíci +1

    The food looked hideous. This is not my idea of VIP. They should be ashamed of charging £26 for the food and a better seat. You've probably saved a lot of people from being shafted. Over £83 for 2 people if you are not a member. Hats off to you.
