Today my friend (Friedjam) and other guy (Mr molly) went to the movies (37 bucks may I add!!!) and we were going to watch Kill Bill. Now, we are very mature 15 year olds and the counter lady recognised this, so she sold us tickets.

THEN we feed more money into the bloodsucking money lovers to be sold these so-called "food items" which may I add were not tasty. then we sit in the theatre and are brain washed with adverts that help feed the bloodsucking money lovers some more. then all of a sudden the speakers started to suck ass. So after forcing us to watch the first 30 minutes of the movie AND adverts in horrible quality, they decide to start it again. Which took about 20 minutes to fix the speakers.

Then the lucifer wannabe scum sucking manager starts looking at the audience and sits next to our particularly short friend, Fried Jam (hes really small!) and tells him to get out because he is too young, this continues until he reaches us two. WE ARE FORCED OUT OF THE THEATRE AND HE EXPECTS US TO WATCH ANOTHER MOVIE (with the delay all other movies were past the 30 min. mark) so we dont want to, we ask for our money back and the manager gets all bitchy and says no. so we leave, come back and sneak into all the other movies and are bored stiff

bottom line is if you see someone from Nu Metro slit his throat and say "Im kicking YOU out this time, hahahahahahahahaha"

I am really sorry but I don't agree with you. Go to a movie with an 18 age restriction and then whine when you get kicked out when you're not 18? Thats not right. Sorry bro, you can't blame them at all for that. Yes yes I know that the woman at the desk let you in but that doesn't change the fact that YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THERE!



Yeah, that was pretty damn unfair. She could of have given you your money back, minus a few rand because you did enjoy the movie a little didn't you?

It would have been alright if they hadn't let us watch the movie OR given us back our money, i would have been perfectly happy with that cause i could have just watched another movie.

They should of have given you your money back though, they can't say yes then no then tell you to piss off when you want your money back.

which numetro did you go to ?
i certainly hope not canal walk ;D

Yeh, which Nu Metro? In CT? I dont remember which NuMetro it was, but myself and some friends went to see that new charlies angels movie and at the beginning... the top half of the screen was at the bottom... and the bottom half of the screen was at the top!!!

hey nitrate was that the movie you went to watch with girlfriend???? or did he go watch something else???

What KK described also happens in Ster Kinekor cinemas... in fact, on the whole, I am seeing more and more kak viewings in the cinemas, and at the same time, the kakker the viewings become, the more their movie ticket and food prices skyrocket!

It was the Nu Metro in Nelspruit, it sucks, it's all we've got, no Ster Kinekor

well a friend and i went 2 go watch a movie a ster kinekor awhile back, we booked tickets and went out for coffee came back 2 the movie which was sold out, anyway so we went inside grabbed our seats, next 2 us a seat had been removed! a few minutes later a couple came along and had booked the seat with no chair. So now the movie is starting and so the guy goes and finds the manager while his wife sits and bitchs bout this. Well 20min later the guy was sitting on a plastic chair and we had missed the intro of the movie! Thanks Ster Kinekor!

I don't see why you say that. I have been to Canal Walk Nu Metro with my friends numerous times and we've never had a problem, apart from idiotic people in the cinema who leave their phones on

sorry for you people, but nu-metro is by FAR superior to ster kinekor. Their seats are always more comfortable and more suited for BIG BONED people.

we understand aquadog you have a fat ass. dont worry we still like you

Aren't Nu Metro and Ster Kinekor held by the same company?

I could have bought a LED fan for that price

I doubt they are the same company, what's the point? I'm probably wrong though..

When I was still in high school, and bought a movie ticket to a Nu Metro movie, one of my friends was asked to produce his ID to prove he was over 13, for a PG13 movie. How many 14 year olds do your know who carry around ID's?

IE: My Fat Ass!!!

eh if you didn't remember that the law was passed "no ppl under aged will be permitted into a movie even if they are accompanied by their parents"

These ppl have a reason to turn ppl away from the movies cos if there are caught allowing a 6 year old kid in a 10 year old resisted movie the movie house will be fined 5k or something like that...

NOTE Exact figures are not know

As for Nu Metro suxing yeah their popcorn tastes like paper! Otherwise it's all good... R12 with my Edgars Movie Card anytime in the week and weekend! but only up to 4 ppl per day per card

i dont have time to watch movies anymore.... im to busy sitting at home doing squat.

The Edgars card is awesome... Thats the reason why I always go to Numetro!

because I, like you, have never had a problem there either
and i know the manager there too

with discovery, its R11 at Ster-kinikor

With Momentum's Multiply (like Discovery's Vitality thingy), it is R10 at Nu Metro... but not even that is enough to get me to go to a Nu Metro cinema.
Nu Metro in Pta sucks.

Yes, but that is for 1 ticket, this card allows you to buy 4 for R14 each...

R64 - 4 people...

i also live in Nelspruit so i dont have much of a choice when it comes to cinemas. I dont have much of a problem with the nelspruit nu-metro, the only problem I do/did have was that they only released Kill Bill on the 12 March much later than the other nu-metro cinemas, this has happened with other movies as well. the manager does have a look in the movies that have a high age restriction to check for any youngsters but i think that is the right thing to do.

yes they should have refunded you or not let you in at all, i find it unusual that they didnt refund you because i know they have done that in the past for some of my friends, they once gave the audience free tickets because they were having problems with the picture.

i dont know about the rubbish popcorn since i dont eat popcorn.

i dont know why you are complaining about the adverts and trailers at the beginning. i like to watch the trailers to see what new movies are coming about and they can also give you those much needed extra 15 mins incase you are running late

The NuMetro in Nelspruit isnt to bad, the only problem i have is with the Edgars card, the photo on the back looks nothing like me because im wearing a hat and every time i go there i have a problem..but they always let me thru in the end (they have no other choice except death if they dont).

i watch alot of movies im too young for, watched kill bil the other day and im 16. i almost got kicked out once because of some brats in my school who were in the process of getting kicked, they pointed out that me and my friends were too young..but the manager was cool..he said "at least they look old enough, now lets go!"

About getting the refund... there are laws in place prohibiting people who are under age from watching the movies, so I don't see why you should break the law, and then get caught, and then still get your money back, especially since you knew that you were not supposed to go and see the movie because you were too young...

nitrate you know what i have 1 word for you..... BUSTED. nah me and a friend had a bitch of a time getting into american pie 2 and lord of the rings as a matter of fact. i aint small but she wouldnt believe that i was 14. o well i told you not to go watch it but did you listen??? NO so shove it up yours.

now i dont think that is necessary doomhorn.

I think if one gets caught then its just tuff luke.

Plz guys this isn't the Fight Club... keep it clean! Don't want to be reporting things like this...

As for the money I think it should be refunded so that you may proceed to watch another movie at a later stage. It is however their fault for selling you the ticket in the first place.

Is this for any Edgars card, because my bro has a Edgars card, but it does not say CLub on it or anything & I want to know if I can use that card. He says no, but others say yes.

Nu Metro at Waterfront (oh, sorry, Bright Water Commons [sucky name]) is pretty good. Had one incident when I go on a Saturday early morning (9am) to watch a movie, but they not open yet. I leave, phone them and they answer. Manager arrived late. So I go on the Sunday, guess what..they not open. Manager arrives late and the big/long releases (Lord of the Rings etc) are quickly marked "Sold Out". We tune the manager that the same thing happened yesterday and he denies it.

There is like a little booth where you buy the tickets and you go there and show them your Edgars card and stuff and they give you a special card as membership. That's about how it works. Dunno (don't think) if you can just use a normal Edgars membership.

no you cant use a normal edgars card. Its a service they offer and you have to pay R35 to join it afaik. You can apply for it at edgars stores aswel.

It is an awesome acrd, and well worth the price!

wow.... that is good. my discovery movie card is like that... R11 any day.

how do u get the NuMetro card? what are the charges?

:/

hahaha... the best thing about Edgars and Nu Metro is that you can buy a cinema prive' ticket for R12.

Beat that Ster Kinekor.

You have to be a member of the edgars club.

Costs you R12 a month or something like that.

Not only do you get the Nu Metro special but you also get Netcare 911 assistance as well.

i've bought tickets in the elite seats (SK's equivalence to prive - forget what its called) with my discovery card for R9

yah but can you pee standing up?

yes
one day i'll teach yuo how

I hardly think it's worth fighting over R3

A saving is a saving, Greyhound...

I bought something that totalled R99.99 yesterday, and because they not longer make 1c coins, I got 5c change, which means that I scored 4c, and this happened the other day as well, so it seems as though my luck is finally changing.

haha. I've noticed that Clicks also round their totals off to the nearest 5c.

lobo yuo larnie
pretty soon u'll be able to afford to buy me a pizza :D

lol beuges u made me laff

I know Ster Kinekor is so much better its got DISCOVERY VITALITY n nu metro doesnt.

Cheers Arm

That is a silly reason to say x > y . Nu Metro has the Edgars Club Card thingy, and Ster Kinekor has the Vitality whatchumacallit. Each is the same product with a different name, so pick and choose. Each to his own.

Nu Metro also has the Multiply Thingy, which is like Discovery's Vitality, only from Momentum... You have to book through Computicket though, and all shows are R10 - up to 4 shows per person per day though...
