Praise - Odeon in Newcastle
Went to see Harry Potter yesterday in 3D. Sat through the movie with my glasses on thinking the 3D wasn't exactly hot, but I had read it was quite poor anyway.

I'm not an EDF customer, but those of you who are, are subsidizing their French customers to the tune of £15 for every £100 of you bill.
