    Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind.

    Roll on tonight - Inception @ IMAX (the only way it should be seen).

    Hi

    I'm moving to Northampton in 2 weeks, and thankfully, I can start going to the Free Cinema Tickets offers as I've noticed Northampton sometimes have a few.

    I was wondering on how exactly it works. I know you go through seefilmfirst and then book 1-2 tickets, but what happens once you arrive at the cinema, do you just go straight through and they have a list of people?

    We're going to the Toy Story screening in Manchester tomorrow. The ticket says 12.40 doors open, 1.30 film start. Really desperate to not miss is due to it being oversubscribed, so what time would you suggest we get there? Do you think we'll be able to queue earlier?

    We are going tomorrow as well, aiming to get there somewhere between 12.20-12.30 as two young children in tow and they won't be easy to keep occupied till the film actually starts. When we went to Shrek a few weeks ago only arrived a couple of minutes before the start and there were loads of free seats. I have never been to a Sunday morning one that has been full, hopefully this won't be the first one.

    Take your printout to the people who check the tickets, don't go to the box office as they can't help you and as the film won'tbe on the system it's likely that they know nothing about the preview.

    Also there are times when the you will find that the person you give your printout to won't know about the free preview lark. Ask them to either contact a team leader or the projectionist and don't let them fob you of by telling you to go to the Box Office (see above paragraph):)

    Hey guys anyone got Ateam for liverpool? thanks x

    gibney, this is the 2nd time this week that you have asked for prevew tickets for a film that isn't previewing in Liverpool:(

    Before posting why don't you take a look at the codes thread? After all it is less than two pages long and if you don't want to manually check one and a half pages, use the search facility.

    The only preview is showing at FACT for members of the Slackers Club (please don't ask what that is, try doing your own research if you don't know). So unless you are an NUS member you won't be able to get a ticket.

    Saw Inception last night and wow what an amazing original movie. Brilliant sounds/effects in IMAX.

    So who thinks they worked out the ending? I thought I had until I stumbled upon the following link/theory, which knocked me for six. I believe it to be true - it totally fits something Chris Nolan would conjur up. It also affirms comments made my Nolan in interviews leading up to the release of the flick:

    SPOILERS IN THIS LINK - DO NOT READ

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/board/flat/167024711?p=1

    I think a 2nd (possibly 3rd) viewing is needed to completely appreciate this masterpiece.
