The Majestic’s always had this crap attitude. They just don’t give a damn about people.

On top of that local cinemas are so unbelievably dirty that the thought of going to them is nauseating. This is a. due to the management not using enough staff to clean up the place regularly, thus cutting down on costs and b. the spectators generally being uncivilised and messsing up the place like pigs! Why can;t each person take his / her garbage and put it into the dustbin outside without leaving a mess behind them for someone else to clean after!?? Culture, culture and rotten culture!! That’s what it is! Leave someone else to pick up the mess after you!!

Exactly, you can’t expect 1st world service from a 3rd world shithole. All Sri Lankan theaters suck. The other biggest problem with SL theaters is that, our people do not know how to watch and enjoy the movie without disturbing the people around you. The last time I went to see a film was that useless sci-fi joke of a film called Avatar at the Liberty. People were talking and giving comments to their friends, children were also talking and people were eating making noises and top of that a woman had apparently bought here 2 year old kid also. She was crying most of the time during the end of the movie. It was fucking annoying. 90% of Sri Lankans are uncivilized retards. To think that this shithole can “develop” to the level of Singapore or Japan is just sheer nonsense.

ok great, thanks to all, will check at the embassies…but I was looking for the new movies, not the classics..for example the movies that are shown right now at Venice international festival or Cannes, or Berlin…Impossible, right?? :-(

Dont embassies have regular screenings of classic movies? Maybe YAMU could list them.

Sorry Tana, nothing like that in SL…maybe if you get cable tv they have…nope sorry you’re on your own. But check out some of the embassies (Gothe and American Center come to mind) as they have movie exhibitions where they’ll show movies from their country for a week or so the Iranian Embassy and I think the French one has something as well

In general Sri Lanka isn’t known for customer service.
