Apart from "being forced to go through 25 minutes of advertisement, despite having actually _paid_ to be in there,":http://bangkok.metblogs.com/archives/2005/06/grand_egv.phtml I have another big gripe about Thailand's cinemas. Their online ticketing.

I was trying to buy tickets on-line for my Aunt today, because Major Cineplex won't take phone reservation for Batman -Returns- Begins. This is their practice for all currently-hot movies, take the certain money rather than wait for you to show up. So I though, hey, let's just _buy_ the ticket on the internet. Surely, they'd take that.

And they did. You need only provide them with your full name, address, phone number, gender, and date of birth!

I mean, what the fuck for?
