Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion only thread

Hi Ali,

As you know, it was me who asked you to remove your message. I was going for blunt rather than rude, but I'm sorry that you were offended.

People have tried asking nicely, that doesn't work. Don't you realise how annoying it is to clog up the thread with requests? Why did you post a request? Why would you think that it is ok as long as you delete it later? As soon as you post, it emails every single subscriber to tell them to check the thread. Believe me, it's very annoying to find a message like yours.

And what does the fact that I'm a newbie (at least going by post count) have to do with anything? Clearly I have a better understanding of the way it works than you do!

Apologies for upsetting you anyway, but I do hope the 'no requests' rule is now a little clearer.

calm down dear, it,s not a life threatening thread. And the rules also state that we should be kind to other users. I think thats more important than asking a question in the wrong part of the site. Lets see you two shake hands now

This only happens if they have instant notification, which not every subscriber has, I have daily notification.

I watched Dreamgirls last week, enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. With regards to the loud volume. Bill Condon (The director) has written to every cinema (well he did to us!) showing the film, requesting that the sound be played at 7 due to the mix. Most films we play around 5-6 in Digital, so turned up to 7 is quite a jump. I checked it at 7, and yes it is loud, but it emphasises the dynamics of the sound mix. I also noticed that the speaking sections of the film are recorded quite low, so if the film was turned down to say 5, the speech would have been too low.

A lot of films are recorded this way, forcing us to turn up the volume, meaning normal talking is a good level, but action can sometimes be too loud

True, but instant notification is quite useful to me as I live in London and the London tickets usually go in minutes of anyone posting anything!

Anyway, lots of people get annoyed by the misplaced posts, in fact, that's what this very thread is for! I am not alone, althouhg I'm glad to hear that you are one of that rare breed who never ever gets annoyed by something which is not life-changing.

lee most of the notes of a scandal are for tues at 6.30pm but im not sure if there are any other days for it...

i saw dreamgirls the other day and to be honest i didnt think it was as good as its hyped up to be, same as the pursuit of happyness...i did love cinderella 3 though lol...
