I've sent a couple of emails to [EMAIL="changeofname@showfilmfirst.com"]changeofname@showfilmfirst.com[/EMAIL] over the last few days but have still not received the automated response. In my experience this is usually instantaneous.
I've also sent an email to [EMAIL="admin@showfilmfirst.com"]admin@showfilmfirst.com[/EMAIL] but nothing
Anyone else having the same issues? Can anyone help please?
I'd like to pass on my tickets for This Means War on Tuesday 28th Feb. Thanks all

You could always use an old change-of-name email, if you can remove the subject line, seeing as it's generic.

This may have been mentioned before but have other users seen films with subtitles over them? Is there any reason for this? Just intrigued.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Hated the film but the subtitles regularly rmade it worse by revealing things before they happenned.

Projext X, subtitles were not at all accurate but then a film with the shear purpose of presenting females as merely pleasure devices for men did not have much meaningful to say that needed to be read.

I watched Project X with Sky, I must admit I was quite suprised as I actually liked it (I'm female 51)!

The characters were likable and well developed (so many films miss this so that you don't really care about the characters). I thought the film was well played out, obviously not everyones cup of tea but then what film is?

I'm roughly the same age as you and also thoroughly enjoyed Project X even though we aren't the target demographics. My jaw dropped several times at what was taking place on the screen.

A house party turning into a full scale riot was hilarious!

So glad to see This Means War again yesterday too. Enjoyed it far more the second time round maybe because I could concentrate more than on Valentine's Day. Less morons on mobile phones!

Unless it has been a foreign language film, I don't ever recall seeing a preview with closed captions. This sounds like something your own cinema is doing, so I'd have a word with them.

If you are talking about an ordinary screening of ELAIC, it sounds like you have gone to a closed caption screening aimed at those with hearing problems. You should be able to check on the cinema's website to see which films are showing with this at which times. However, sometimes all screenings of some films are shown with closed captions. This happened to me when I saw Soul Surfer and it bugged the life out of me but there were no alternate options available unfortunately.

But as Project X hasn't yet been released, this sounds like it is your own cinema. My screening didn't have closed captions.

Thanks P :-) Both were previews and one at Picturehouse, other at Vue. Perhaps an attendee here in Oxford requests them? Weird.

That is odd. I saw Project X at a Picturehouse last night and mine didn't have closed captioning. If you are on Twitter or Facebook, maybe you could ask Vue and Picturehouse about it.

I'm very surprised tbh as I think are separate prints from the normal run of the mill ones the general public usually see. So I can't see how someone could request it to be screened like that as a preview.

If you find out though, please post here. I'd love to know what explanation you get.
