    No Ben, it was important enough for Showff to send out an email entitled Important Note telling people that the start time was 3pm and NOT 1pm as stated on the original email. A difference of 2 hours is enough for people to change their mind over going or not. Would you like to sit around for 2 hours twiddling your thumbs or not go at all because you couldn't make it for 1pm?

    I'm sure if people can read enough to see the code, then they can read enough to see the time on the ticket as well ;) but then again, a simple PM to the OP asking them to add this into the post would have also done the trick also.... the saga continues
  • "the saga continues..."

    It will if you continue to play the same script and record over and over again.

    That's excellent, I can't wait. If memory serves me right (and you know how lousy that is now), ITV1 and ITV2 showed the trilogy in successive weeks not that long ago. I didn't watch them although I caught parts of them. But those films know how to put a huge smile on a person's face. It is such a shame to see M.J. F. now. He has been a favourite of mine since he starred in Family Ties.

    I've actually sat in the DeLorean or one of them that was used in the films. :p
    Not all of us can live in real and major cities - lol.

    i too sat in the DeLorean, it was at butlins bognor regis last year when we went on a adult weekend , we do these weekends every year and they are awesome , the previous year i think it was del boy and hes 3 wheeler car
    Dont forget that little Thanks button , only takes a sec

    It's a magical car isn't it? I would love to try out Delboys 3 wheeler though, I bet that was fun?

    Ben, are you being deliberately obtuse or argumentative just for the sake of it? The point is that some people will have seen the time as 1pm and knowing that they couldn't make it for time, wouldn't have applied for tickets. Therefore they wouldn't have any ticket to see the correct time.

    I did consider sending a pm but as the op didn't show as being online, the code had been posted elsewhere a few hours previously plus editing the original post wouldn't have alerted people I went with posting the info myself!

    In my opinion changes in time, date and location are the only things as well as codes obviously, that should be posted on that thread and are certainly more important than posts containing direct links.

    As I recall you don't live in Sheffield area so it doesn't affect you. I don't know why you don't take your own advice and either ignore my posts or put me on your ignore list. This is becoming tiresome.<sigh>

    Tibbs, you will be pleased to know that I didn't see Pirahna 3D after all. I saw The Illusionist instead and what a fabulous film it is.

    Will tell all when I get home.

    No, certainly not pleased. I feel as though I've talked you out of watching it now :(. I feel really bad.

    However, I did see The Illusionist advertised as showing at the Picturehouse cinema. I actually thought it was a re-run of the 2006 movie.


    Then I read the following synopsis:

    Based on a previously unproduced script written in 1956 by French actor/director Jacques Tati as a letter to his estranged daughter, THE ILLUSIONIST is a quaint animated film about the magic and solace that can be found in an unfamiliar place.

    Set in 1950s Scotland (and featuring our very own Cameo cinema in Edinburgh!), the film follows an aspiring conjuror who visits a rural village and is enchanted by a beguiling young woman who shows an interest in his powers of illusion.

    Echoing the style of French comic book writer-!!!-filmmaker Sylvain Chomet's 2003 film BELLEVILLE RENDEZ-VOUS, THE ILLUSIONIST arrives off the back of an extended festival circuit run that has seen the director lauded as a cartoonist of incomparable cinematic vision.



    "Set in 1950s Scotland." Very much interested in that. However, what really interested me is that the conjuror is enchanted, not vice versa. Interesting. Sounds like the young woman is either up to no good or using him for her own means. Hmmm. Probably totally off the mark.

  • Hi everyone,

    This may sound realy silly, but this is the first time iv'e done this. I've ordered tickets to see The Switch in Cardiff.
    Do the tickets actually work? I mean not being funny, just i couldn't handle the embarresment of being turned away lol!
