Movie watching in a theatre in Doha
By highonlife •
Seriously man...going to the movies out here is quite a funny experience. Particularly the English ones. To say the least, there are a whole bunch of scenes that are censored, and by the time you know it, the movie's over! Went
Absolutely right. in fact i think even we joined in the commentary at some point during hte movie, cos that was the only way to distract ourselves from the filth around.
We left half way through the movie, though. got a dvd and watched it all over again sitting comfortably on a bean bag at home.
True
Kernowman, don't forget the running commentaries...
Thats what it s like going to movies!, and I'm not just talking about the film.
I can understand that if people don't like what there watching they leave, well in most cases 'certain people' leave before the end, which confuses me.
And I espically like the ones that have to answer there phones?? and sit there chatting away totally oblivious to the fact that everyone is trying to pay attention?.
Next time I'm going to take my trusty cattle prod just I reach the at the back!!
Nuff Said
you said it labda ;)
mjamille same here, just the look of that place puts me off. Seems dodgy. And apparently it is. Womens instinct eh? :P
welcome to qatar where you can only see what they want you to see.
this is the way it is here, except the world doesn't know it...yet!
lool Jackmohan....
ALso u may see a pile of Bed Bugs waiting for their meals....:)
Doha/Gulf cinema can never be "housefull"...
They have extra plastic chairs piled one on top of the other at the back.....help yourself if the seats are full....lol
just wait foir the dvd release of the movie.
as for the state of the art movie houses here,showing censored foreign films....
no comment...
looking on the outside appearance of that cinema, i won't even dare set foot there... City Centre is nice...
Yeah, Gulf Cinema ... thought it was also called Doha cinema>? Anyway, yeah it is kinda creepy in there. not only does the seating and the place suck,,,the entrance to it is even worse! Gosh!
I swear never to go there again.
But hey, i got my first 'mars icecream' bar there! some token of rememberance eh?!@
The only thing i know - it was popular and boring (for me) at the same time !
Basic Instinct?? Are you kidding me? People who watch that in the theaters here will kill themselves - or probably get killed !
Cant do that with a movie like BI!
Doha cinema? is that the Gulf cinema? if it is, heard some icky stories about that place, not really good..
Think we watched Bachna Ae Haseno in Doha Cinema and it was awful - really awful.
You're right the english movie was at City Center..now i remember.
movies in the mall.To watch indian movies you go through the same experience sitting in a shit hole.
around Doha who suggested we watch a movie- i think it was Doha Cinema that we went to...cant remember. just took on whatever was playing at the time- dont even remember the movie but one thing i know for sure - it was hugely popular. May be the guy wanted to check out the scenes but was hugely disappointed! Well, so was I!
and since then i havent stepped into a movie theatre. I have a friend who watched the recent flick Management - starring Jennifer Aniston and...I forget the guy's name - apparently a kissing scene is censored but not the scene where the guy's touching Jen's butt!!!
Seriously!
To lose patience one minute and to have it back the next! thats cool. really...it's a lot better than having no patience at all, which in most cases is true!
that's why it's better to just download them.
I hit the submit button before i completed it.
So, i just told you about it- went to an english movie - was so freakishly boring cos first of all it didnt make sense to censor scenes (which made up half the movie im sure) and second, it was a waste of time!
well, IMHO, some people may have patience, and the next minute lose it, then the next, it's back again... well, at least, in my case that is.. :P
hmmmm he want to watch kissing scenes
But i wasnt really referring to individuals here. I was talking about virtues:)Thats why they're called virtues -only a few have it and the rest DOnt!
"if you lack a virtue, you've gotta lack it all your life - you cant have it one moment and NOT have it another!"
i beg to differ..... not all individuals are the same..
ok this was the content of your thread:

what comes next after "went?" looks incomplete to me... or is this a fill-in-the-blank....
wat kinda movie u were watching ?
Basic Instinct 1, 2 ?
Species 1, 2
or something similar to tat ?
You can't teach experience...
mjamille- if you lack a virtue, you've gotta lack it all your life - you cant have it one moment and NOT have it another! Especially patience!
well, sorry you guys cant complete the story cos i dont think i saw one in the movie - for one it was quite a stupid movie and second what was left in it was censored.
And by the way, rMs, i didnt intend to be funny at all!
lol labda, unfortunately, patience is one of the virtues i lack at this moment... :P
mjamille...he's getting high. Patience girl. :P
bro... welcome to GCC:)
