    Can you transfer unwanted tickets to someone else? = family, friends.

    Just give them the tickets. Nobody will even know if you don't make a fuss about it.

    You used to be able to. I'm sure it was namechange@showfilmfirst.com

    You do amuse me though, that question has been there for hours, if you know the answer, why not just reply yourself?

    Because I've been helping someone with a real life problem.

    A blind friend who was abandoned at a train station last night without assistance from staff.

    Is that okay with you?

    If you really believe that, you truly are deluded.
  • Thanks Pooch.

    When going to a screening is the ID (on the printed ticket) verified by the staff or is it there for informational purposes?

    Whenever I've been, the staff are more concerned about the ticket being for the right movie and for the number going in. Its been many years since I've ever had to show any kind of ID - even for Times screenings where you're supposed to show a membership card.
  • Suffragette:

    Very engaging film about the stuggle for gender equality in the early c20th, with Carey Mulligan in an ‘everywoman’ role as the working class woman caught up in the struggle, and conveniently meeting all the main protagonists and witnessing all the most dramatic events. It was rather fitting to see that the London Premier got highjacked by female activists whose protests included laying across the red carpet…the struggle goes on, ladies!

    I wanted to like this film more than I did! It just wasn't quite as good as I was expecting, although the dramatic lead performances were excellent. I got the impression that quite a lot got left on the cutting room floor (including some of the scenes included in the trailers?) And what happened to Meryl Streep’s part? She was literally reduced to a walk-on – which seems an enormous waste of talent. If you are bothering to cast someone of Mrs Streep’s stature, at least give her a part worth having! I’m sure she would have ‘made’ the film – given a chance.

    Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.

    Michael Fassbender plays Steve Jobs, the pioneering founder of Apple, with Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet starring as Joanna Hoffman, former marketing chief of Macintosh. Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple, is played by Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels stars as former Apple CEO John Sculley. The film also stars Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ ex-girlfriend, and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original members of the Apple Macintosh development team.

    This new film is directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award winner Aaron Sorkin, working from Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography of the Apple founder.
