"The Avengers" was a UK TV series in the 60s/70s, so they may have changed the film title to avoid confusion.
And in 1998 a film version of the TV programme was released, called "The Avengers", starring Ralph Fiennes as Steed and Uma Thurman as Emma Peel - and Sean Connery as the bad guy. Don't think this was released in the US, if it was it won't have been very well known, so there would be no confusion releasing a completely different film in the US also called The Avengers. In the UK, there would be confusion as the proper Avengers, and the Marvel Avengers, are two completely different things.
The difference in film titles is highlighted by the multi Oscar film "The Madness of King George" it was from the play "The Madness of King George III" it was thought the American audience would wonder about having missed any film called the madness of King George 1 and the madness of King George 2 !!
Did American film theatres have a supporting feature? this was a B film that was shown before the main film, also an usherette lady with a torch would guide you to a seat in the dark cinema.
The period and restored electric cinema in Notting Hill London, has options of armchairs/bed/sofa, with individual personal table for food and drink, illuminated by personal table lamps .
Ask for half salted popcorn, half sweet popcorn. It's the best choice 😋
FYI: Here in London and around the UK, many larger Vue and Odeon cinemas have recliner seating...
Im gonna blow your mind now, you can get sweet and salty popcorn combined. Salty popcorn is horrible and sweet popcorn does not make you buy a massive drink.
I think Vue Cinema in Cambridge has comfy seats and maybe also Cineworld in Cambridge.
If you want to find a large cinema locally probably Milton Keynes, you’ll see the delivery robots there too.
Not been to these but Ipswich or Norwich might be Max cinemas.
One massive one in London is at the O2.
Back in the day in the U.K. going to see a film/movie was simply referred to as going to ‘the pictures’ or ‘the flicks’. No doubt as a throwback to their inception when silent films were heralded as ‘moving picture’ shows, no doubt with flickering images.
Also, despite Americans ‘going to the movies’. I couldn’t help but notice that the still shot of one of your home town movie venues: Marcus Theatres. Clearly indicates itself as a ‘Cinema’ in its signage above the Main Entrance.
I'm from the UK, but I watched Independence Day in the US, where it was difficult to watch/hear the film with all the USA USA USA chants
Love your videos. I have never heard of clapping at the cinema/movies before, certainly not here in the UK. I don’t get the title difference’s between the 2 countries either, but its not just related to films, TV programs also have different titles for the same program. Just for info, Cineworld in Ipswich has a very large screen and 4D & IMAX screens.
We would never call it a movie theatre in the uk, because when we watch a film we do this in a cinema (from the French cinematique) and plays/musicals etc are performed in a theatre.
I don’t think you mentioned anything about adverts shown in the cinema.
Over my lifetime popcorn has changed from being exclusively sweet to a choice of sweet and savory. When I was young, I knew of salty popcorn from american colture on tv etc, but it sounded as gross as fish flavoured ice cream.
I would rarely say that I was going to the cinema, usually the pictures or less likely the flicks
Yeah our Odeon Cinema in Durham City has all cream reclining seats in every screen. It's pretty new though so that might have something to do with it. Plus it has a whole menu of different hot and cold foods.i say going to the pictures as well lol
Popcorn you can get a mix of sweet and salty too. In the UK big cinemas have a good amount of hot snacks too. Potato wedges, mozzarella dippers, chicken bites, wings, to name just a few. Also ice blast is what you want at the cinema icee is not as good. There is also a chain called everyman. You get a nice comfy couch and can order full meals such as pizza and burgers to your seat
Don't forget jk Rowling is British, it was written as philosopher Stone ,
i believe it was changed as they thought the average american was too dumb to understand what philosophers meant thus to the change to sorcerers 😭💀
Love the kinema, always clap when the Wurlitzer rises and starts to play.
Wot, they've stopped doing that?
Have to say once mulitplex cinemas started I really eased off going.
My old home town had 2 cinemas.
One very art deco and a brilliant sound system but both had really big screens now they are tiny by comparison.
I went to London and saw The Battle of the Bulge in full 70mm cinemascope.
Having the screen wrap beyond your perifiral vison and real surround sound with shells whizzing over head was stunning.
Imax is great but still not as immersive .
I think the prices are silly and snacks just a rip off.
My local Cinema is called - The Light , quite a small place (Hello from Thetford)
We call it going to the pictures.
To see a film, not a movie.
People laugh at the movies here in the UK. But as for clapping personally with how expensive it is to go the cinema I want to be able to here what’s going on screen instead of some muppet shouting at the screen. Cause I am definitely a shusher lol
Sweet popcorn is the best. Or even better is sweet and salty mixed, ask for half and half.
I differentiate movies as B grade hollywood films and films as premium Hollywood or world films. So I'd go to the cinema to see films and trawl Netflix or streaming on a sick day and watch a movie.
the are fewer additives and colourings in UK snack food than in the USA
They do offer passes at movie theaters in the States
Sweet popcorn is the best
It is NOT caramel or toffee popcorn. That is something different.
You should 100% give it a try next time you visit the cinema
Also in the UK we have showcase cinemas but I think they are mostly North and the Midlands
There's also eleven 'The Light' cinemas. They are cheap compared to The Odeon. They also show some films with subtitles and some for those with autism (sound turned down and lights dimmed not totally dark). Don't know if other cinema chains do this.
@@nevillemason6791 showcase dim the lights too pitch black I don't know about subtitles though I have been in both but I mostly go to showcase cinemas though
My nanna also used to call the cinema the 'pictures', so you'd say you were going to the pictures. I always thought that was cute.
Completely off topic, but at 11:52 Alaytra interrupted Jordan, and then said "sorry love"! Now, tell me she hadn't been affected by 3 years in this country 🤣
There was already an Avengers series 1960s & 1970s and I think also movies 1998 in the UK but not the Marvel characters, so was probably a copyright problem
What is crazy about sweet popcorn? To me there is nothing crazier than serving greasy pizza and buttered popcorn in a lushly upholstered cinema theatre. Someone has to sit in those seats after you and you hands will leave residue galore!
I always ask for a mix of sweet and salty popcorn 😌
I am 63 years old, I have been to movies since I was little and have only seen people clap one time . Endgame.
Clapping hahaha who are you clapping for?
You don’t like kettle corn?? 😮
Cinemas
Buttered popcorn 🤮
Thank you for liking and subscribing! What should we review next? 🇺🇸🇬🇧
So basically a movie is a movie. Stop trying to make me feel like a jerk just because I salivate during the making of the popcorn. Either it’s salty or it’s not. I’m not here to judge.
Great video yeah? Good job
