Cinemas vs Downloading
So everyone keeps going on about how Pirating and Downloading is bad and if you do it, the Government will track you down and lock you up and eat you for breakfast! Well, maybe they will. But I’ll take my chances till then.
The reason being that I don’t feel cinemas are doing their bit against the whole download issue. Ok, so they put the Piracy warning at the beginning of the film, but that’s just meant to scare people into going to the cinema, out of fear of being caught watching a film at home. What cinemas should be doing is lowering their prices! I know I live in Central London but still, £9.80 to watch a film I might not even enjoy? Cinemas argue that they need to charge more because less people are coming to the cinema, because they’re downloading films and watching them at home. But, they could turn this around. If every cinema ticket was £5, no matter what time you went to watch the film, people wouldn’t bother to download films. They would be able to go to any film they fancied the look of, whether blockbusters, independent, foreign or indie films!
Furthermore, cinemas are claiming you’re paying £9.80 for the ‘cinema experience’, the ‘unique’ sound system and the ‘extra-comfy’ seats. The problem is that my cinema experience has been ruined several times by un-comfy seats, bad acoustics and noisy chavs chatting throughout the film! For example, Odeon charges extra money if you sit in their ‘Premium’ seats. These are meant to have the best view and acoustics of the whole cinema. But, I once sat in some which were slightly to the side of the screen and couldn’t hear half of the film. I don’t ever ‘upgrade to Premium’ anymore. And neither should you!
Hello World!!
Hello everyone,

JORDIN SPARKS – Battlefield lyrics
by Wayne Wilkins, Ryan Tedder, Louis Biancaniello, Sam Watters
Don’t try to explain your mind
I know what’s happening here
One minute, it’s love
And, suddenly, it’s like a battlefield
One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world’s nothing when you’re gone
I’m out here without a shield – can’t go back, now
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
Why we gotta fall for it, now…
Chorus:
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don’t even know we’re fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
Can’t swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm
If we can’t surrender
Then, we’re both gonna lose we have, oh, no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing), oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don’t wanna fall for it, now…
Chorus:
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don’t even know we’re fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we’d be alright
‘Cause, baby, we don’t have to fight
And I don’t want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor…
Chorus:
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don’t even know we’re fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
Why does love always feel like (oh, oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield
I never meant to start a war
Don’t even know what we’re fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don’t even know what we’re fighting for…
