    Honestly, I love you guys. I just managed to get tickets for the fourth film this year (Definitely, Maybe), and it is only the 9th of January! A big thanks to everybody posting those codes and links, it really is appreciated. I just need to remember to watch those other films too which I want to see, they tend to fall on the wayside!

    Morning all, well went to see this last night and felt a little let down. Steve Carrell normally makes me laugh out loud but struggled a bit with this film. But the main reason for posting is the fact that I saw some familar faces at bluewater. So hands up who was there from MSE? 1 particular chap I see nearly everytime I go must admit normally at the odeon lakeside but you know who you are:rotfl:

    got an out of 10 rating, bathgatebuyer? Only if yad like to, mind. Oh, and I'd like to interject that Carrell has done quite a lot of films now, tho yes he's great in the US version of the Office and Virgin...

    Probably an 8 out of 10. Yep, he has done a load more films and TV work outwit The Office and 40 yr old Virgin, but I think a lot of people (well the two I heard in the lobby!) were expecting another 40 yr Old Virgin.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    I can understand that you are frustrated for not being let in, but the usher was well within his rights to refuse you entry as it does say on the ticket "No entry once film has commenced". Maybe you can see it from the perspective of the people already sitting in the screening: 6.30 the lights go down and the film starts without any advertising. And then people keep filing in, trying to find seats, obscuring views and generally being distracting. I find that annoying too.

    I'm not spitting mad or anything about it, just disappointed as ive been to previews before where they are more relaxed about times.

    I do get what you mean about late comers though....

    Everyone on here has said how much they enjoyed it, so I am doubly glum about not seeing it last night. Oh well, i'll have to see if there are any more previews for it.

    I'd recommend even paying to see it. lol so it seems the system works for the film distributors!
    that said, you were unlucky to not see it for free so if I were in your shoes I'd see if I could find a video of it online....
    not that I'm recommending you to do the same, of course :rolleyes2

    Hallelujah, we finally got our tickets for Arctic Tale, and we were told again that it would definitely screen on 3 February in the Odeon Covent Garden! On the way back we got hungry and used a BOGOF Burger King Voucher. Honestly, my whole life seems to be about moneysaving these days!

    Guys, just to warn you it won't be long til the quality of films drop massively, free or not.

    I'm behind the writers, they only get 0.01% of DVD sales etc
    The studios are being very greedy in such a lucrative business, and now WB have threatened strikes - this move was expected by the WGA though, I've heard and they're likely to ignore it

    correct, g-g

    Don't take it to the box office thing, take it to where they check the tickets and they'll direct you to your screening

    oh and you'll want to familiarise yourself with whatever it says on the sheet (turn up 30 mins or so before the film starts etc)

    hi wolverine, maybe being a bit blonde but what SHEET are you refering to please x x
