Just a thanks to the OP of the tickets for the Russian Standard Vodka Originals Film Festival.

I went to see Its a Wonderful Life last night and had a great time. There were free vodka cocktails drinks before the film and in the intermission (can't think of the last time I saw a film with an intermission!). The seats were sooo comfortable too!

All in all a great night.

Ooh Sounds fab, sadly my home town - Liverpool isn't listed for any forthcoming events. But glad I could help others enjoy free film and free vodka.:)

A colleague who runs the club for Y10 & 11 suggested a Carry On Film but couldn't make his mind up which one would be best...

Open to suggestions....:cool:

Much as I have fond memories of the Carry Ons (and especially still love Carry on Screaming), I don't think their appalling sexist content is a good thing to show to kids in an educational film context nowadays.

i saw tamara drewe tonight, was pretty good, some very funny moments, some lovely twists maybe slightly dull in a few places but well worth the watch x

Just got home from Times+ screening of Tamara Drewe.
For once I was quite early - which was a good job as the small screen was already very full.
By 6.30 it must have had 100% full.

Film I found very enjoyable, but also very unusual.
I did not watch any trailers, after I had read a few very mixed reviews.
The more i have tried to analyse what I did and didn't like about the film, the more I am left wondering exactly why I enjoyed it so much...... so therefore I have decided to stop trying to dissect it or catagorise it, but just report back that I had a very enjoyable evening.
Lots of squeals of delight/horror/shock from the audience, and many laugh out loud moments.
Not an oscar winner, but I never felt even remotely tempted to leave early - or fall asleep.:p
Couldn't believe the time when I came out, the two hours had flown by.

Good work turniplord!

Any tricks up your sleeve to get the booking page for The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud?

Actually isn't that screening already happened? or when is the date of that?

Cheers!

Hi, that link does take you to the Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud (the show is on 28/09/10) - once registered on there just put in your email and on the next page it has that film and a few other options (best to bookmark that page and check every now and again as they dont seem to advertise when new shows go on there!!)

And thanks to everyone who thanked me I'm glad its worked fine for ou - I can't wait to goto the Manchester Showing

Also annoyed that non-sky customers are being allowed to use rewards that are for Sky customers only

just wondering, have you ever used a code that some has posted online from a magasine or something similar but not actually bought the mag..... cos if you havent bought the mag yourself but then used the code you're doing exactly the same as the non sky customers gettin tickets.... just a thought

Now that the link has been posted on a public forum, Sky will close that loophole down as they have in the past.

I do wish people would think before posting some things:mad:

I disagree, attitudes and society has changed considerably since Carry On's were made, there was less political correctness and people were able to speak more freely and the films were tongue & cheek, as I female I would never take offence, I still love them today.

From educational point of view, all the classics film/tv of that time had similar content, Carry On's, On The Buses, Step Toe & Son......... it would demonstrate how attitudes and humour has changed. They are also a great representation of British 1960's film making.

As for the sexist content, its slapstick, not really offensive and I have no problem with my children watching them as did I as a child.
