Just out of interest, who else think notifying people of cancelled screenings is chat?

Me. But then I also find it annoying when people post after someone else with slightly more information on a previously posted code (such as locations still available). As whoever interested can see that on the website itself when entering the code.

And me. There's NO NEED to expand when someone has put the link up there for anyone who's interested to click on. I can't imagine anyone thinking "hmm, I fancy seeing that, I'll wait til someone posts the cinemas and see if my local is there". Anyone wanting tickets knows the they have to click, and quick!

Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. As I realised afterwards that with my only 7 posts I may not have earned "the right" yet to comment negatively like this, but then I have been lurking for a while so it has bothering me for a while...

The screening at Sheffield cineworld wasn't cancelled, but was only 20% full. I almost didn't go myself after reading your posting.

The problem being Nicky is that we've got a few posters who are so desperate for thanks, they just want to post anything on the codes only thread. They also treat everyone else as if they're dim and cannot do things for themselves. Then they say that they're helping, when in actual fact, all they want is thanks. It's sad really.

So, now there's bogus cancellations being posted. People have missed out on screenings. I would be fuming.

Just saw next 3 days, thought it was really good, very suspenseful especially near climax. cinema was mostly full, I found a couple of parts laugh out loud moments so as I was the only one, anyone near me will know who I am

Actually I like people posting locations in the codes thread.

If you live in a place that does not come up often or if you are picky about what cinema you go to, then it is a lot easier to see that in a post (specially of you read more than one at the same time) than having to go to seefilmfirst all the time and check whether your location is in. When the locations are not in alphabetical order is even more of a pain.

I like seeing films that I would not go to see otherwise so date and location tend to be as important as what film it is.

We are all diferent aren't we?:)

But by waiting for someone else to list the cinemas for you, you might miss tickets!

Sounds like a good movie. I think I might have to p*y (I said the word quietly) to see it. I'll try to see if I can get some kind of deal, though.

Got a good deal the other day to see Danny Boyle's Frankenstein National Theatre production showing at the Picturehouse. It's not until March, and I got for next to nothing, so quite chuffed. Don't know who will play which role on the night (they are swapped about by Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller on alternating nights seemingly).
