HACK: BUDGET MOVIE DEALS

Craving a movie fix but can’t burn another hole in your wallet with a $20 ticket? Worry not, for cinemas in Sydney are giving all kinds of discounts to students! Dendy’s Cinemas in Newtown has not one, not two, but three days of student deals! For just $8, you can catch up on the latest Bollywood movies all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. They’ve even got a special student combo which throws in a beer (Urban ale) and a Choctop with your ticket for a total of $12!

When: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

If Newtown isn’t exactly close, Event Cinemas ought to be your next pick. Located in Bondi Junction, George Street, Parramatta, Hornsby, Hurstville, Macquarie and even Wollongong, their student offer lets you buy tickets for $8 every Monday. You do need to be a Cine Buzz member to claim this offer, but don’t worry –membership is free.

When: Monday

PS: Both locations ask to see your student ID card for verification, so don’t forget to carry it along!

Culture Shock

Halfway through watching my first film in an Australian movie theatre, I realised that I really needed to go to the washroom. When I asked my friend (who had already seen the film) if the intermission was coming soon, she laughed. Imagine my horror when I found out that the concept of an ‘intermission’ only exists in India!

One of my university professors to swear. If a projector stops or her phone dies or something goes wrong in her class, first person to drop the F anyone else feel awkward professor cusses?
