    No problem, I hope it is Top Gun for your sake and not bloody Mamma Mia! :rolleyes::rotfl:

    OH was gutted as we voted for Top Gun as he'd never seen it on the big screen and it's his fav film.

    Vote for your favourite film from a list of ten (below) on the Volkswagen Polo Film Festival website and, provided ticket supplies last, you'll get a pair of tickets to see whichever film gets the most votes, at a cinema near you either on Thurs 29 Oct or Tues 3 Nov. Screenings take place at 154 cinemas nationwide including Northern Ireland.
    Obviously then that would be Top Gun....Surely the BFI etc will have some copies to lend them for one night. after all surely everyone who wanted to see Mamma Mia would have done already as it played for ages and dominated all our local screens.

    TBH I think we have been mislead and that they should have advertised it as being screenings of Mamma Mia - in which case most of us wouldnt bother lol

    Exactly!

    Like someone else said, the new york prize, one of the things in it was to see Mamma Mia on stage, hmmmm

    Also the goody bag,

    Choccy, nivea creams, well woman tablets, snack-a-jacks etc....

    Nowt there for a bloke is there? All geared towards women, and look at this...

    http://www.utalkmarketing.com/Pages/CreativeShowcase.aspx?ArticleID=15565&Filter=0&Keywords=&Order=LATEST&Page=1&Title=VW_Polo_'Timeless_Film_Festival'_experiential_campaign__

    Polo’s Timeless Film Festival campaign broke at the end of September and targets women, a group that is traditionally difficult to entice into the showroom.

    So it was a con all along :mad:

    If Top Gun won the overall vote, then that is what should have been shown everywhere. But it's not a girly chick flick is it :rolleyes:

    Has anyone contacted Volkswagon about it esp when we now all know Top Gun won?Is it likely that they will repeat the fiasco tomorrow as to be honest as someone trained in PR mass walkouts are NOT good publicity for your products.

    Tho Top Gun is not a chick flick as such, I would have been more than happy with any of the other films listed EXCEPT the badly acted and poorly sung Mamma Mia which basically is based on a girl finding her mum was a slapper when young lol

    Shellsuit so blokes dont eat chocolate and rice cakes or use face creams?Actually I do find it a stereotype that all women like chocolate..

    I wouldn't know who or what address to contact about the promotion, does anyone have any ideas?
