[...] Immediately, I registered myself as a MBO member for RM10 membership + RM100 credit value. Then, I bought the tickets in a minute by using the touch screen of the ticket machine! I grinned to the long queue and went away with my movie tickets. [Read more...] [...]

I see. But did you ever sit in Cinema 1 lately? Cos I haven’t.
I went for 3 movies last week, 3 big production ones and all were either in Cinema 2,3 or 4. Me and a friend were wondering why haven’t we been given CINEMA 1 seats even for big movies like WILD HOGS???

Makes me think if there really is something going on…????

Hmm….

Whats the Story about Kluang’s MBO cinema 1 being HAUNTED? I hear lotsa stupid rumours about people seeing hanging figures and dark figures around. And its always from a friend who heard from a friend etc…..

Is there any real conclusive evidence that something supernatural was going on lately?

p:s Last I heard, a rumour was going around that they called in a “Bomoh”.

Looks like Kluang is catching up with its sons and daughters in the developed world! Do you more kids from Kluang have migrated to US, Canada and Australia than almost any other town in Johor? But I guess it is not so easy these days with the level of English coming out of places like Kluang High School – the old SES & GES students all spoke first class English and went on to universities in England, Scotland, Wales, etc. Many became doctors, lawyers, accountants. You will probably run into them in a IMAX cinema (like the one in Sydney, Australia). But it is good Kluang has a great cinema – better than the old Coronation, Metro, etc.

I almost caught Undead the previous Weekend. Thankfully there was the SneakPreview of “SHOOTER” Starring Mark Wahlberg. The plot was kinda simple but the action and sounds were great.

Can’t wait till MAY. Whoa…….

U know which girl i am saying? Haha… Wish i have the chance to meet her again…

Today, i go to watch a movie “Undead” .Oh my god…. i really dun know why MBO brought that kind of 60~70th years’ movie…. I almost throw my popcorn to screen. Regret watching this kind of movie, and feel very embarrass about it’s sound system…

When did DiGi Own CinemaOnline? — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:56:11 +0000

[...] I use CinemaOnline to check movie showtimes since Kluang has a MBO cinema. Recently, the CinemaOnline website design has been changed to DiGi’s yellow theme with flash ads. [...]

@Tom: yes, I agree that they need one more ticket machine. Hey, make sure you intro the girl to me after you got her phone number!

That is a bad experience on buying ticket. The machice keep “JAM”. I understand that is not the staff’s problem but it causes me cannot watch the starting of movie. I suggest that add one more machine to clear queue or service counter also can use card to buy ticket rather than waiting the only one machine.

Unforgetable. First day, a pretty girl appear in front of me when applying card in MBO Her smile is always hanging on her face. I forget her name but wish to see her again. Maybe i can have her phone number.

@Julian: I guess you already read my 300 movie review. Ya, I am around 180cm. Date me for movie in kluang lah~ I am serious!

By: Julian Chin

Julian Chin — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 18:56:07 +0000

Haha… CUte….

Btw How was “300″ ? I read that the whole movie Background is CG and was shot on a BLUE SCREEN. I Hope its enjoyable……….

p:s When I mentioned tall, I something like 6ft and taller…… Im borderline 6ft only, but can feel that the seat not supporting my back sufficiently….. My friend above 6ft like mati. Leg also long….. damn cramp…..

@Julian: you kluang? date me lah! how tall are you? I felt the same pain about the low seat but high screen… btw, I watched “300” just now. The cinema has been improved as I saw.

Hey Gobala, more reasons to come back from KL eh? I was gonna post the link to check the showtimes but Alvin beat me to it…..Good job….

Caught my first movie there only recently which was the sneakpeak of PRIMEVAL on 3/3/07 as I was away for CNY when the cinema opened. I’ve already gotten feedback on how loud the speakers were for GHOSTRIDER and had qualms about the quality of the halls. But honestly, it was quite okay except for the mildly uncomfortable seat for someone tall like me. Also the cushioning was kinda hard but eventually I settled into the movie. Crowd was kinda rowdy/noisy as well – probably its due to the excitement of finally having a Cinema in town. And one thats better that BP as well.

But we might end up throwing it all away if the management doesn’t do something about littering. If some of you remember, walking out fo the cinema and you would be greeted with trash, cups and spilt popcorn all over the floor. They should add more BINS or maybe a BIGGER ONE with a sign “THROW YOUR TRASH HERE BEFORE YOU LEAVE!”

But gratefull we would have to be….. Hope to catch “300″ this weekend.
