but one thing for sure, first time u can choose seat in real time

not that u cant choose seat last time at the old cinema, but last time it depends on the cashier's mood. sometimes if they are in bad mood they will simply put you near front seat really ccb betul

dulu blh rokok dlm cinema

mmcineplex: what u tok???

The big cinemas were too big with too many seats and in the 80s, blockbuster movies were too far apart. Tough to fill the seats. Plus other factors like color television and tv3 and VHS.

VHS rental business was huge, with rental shops sprouting up everywhere. People used to rent 3-5 tapes at one go. TVB tv series like man in the net was damn popular.

By early 90s, many big cinemas were in dire straits. Not profitable to refurbish the seats and renovation. Aircon not functioning, dirty seats, smelly toilets.

Also in the late 70s, fast food like KFC and malls/shopping complexes were introduced, and lifestyle were getting better and people were having more money to spend... and were more discerning on hygiene and cleanliness.

Actually, the cineplexes revived going back to the cinemas for movies. Better seats and better screens and much much better sound systems.

Nope, i was already seeing someone then

From there i learned the art of spotting difficult customers in the queue. From body language, demeanour you can tell who is the Karen that will ruin your day and i just hope they skip me and head for the next counter kek

This one the last standalone cinema?



Catering to a niche market....



While others have long disappeared... but still got a few buildings still standing.

The cineplex was still there in 1999 because I remember clearly watching the first Matrix and King of Comedy in Sg.Wang.

I did hear rumor about the place being haunted though.

salahan tigivi and gee-es-see

Sg Wang's 2 big cinema close cause old and too big... I think early 1990

then open the smaller cineplex near the skating ring & arcade area

the cineplex also eventually close close as too many ppl go play Laser disc
