    How is it that the codes always go that quickly but the cinemas are always half empty... *sigh*...

    Did anyone actually manage to get tickets for Taken at Croydon Vue?


    Yeah did but i had to keep trying

    Hi all, saw pineapple express at Thurrock last night- thought it was good- but not great wish Seth would think of a new theme to his films the dooby jokes are wearing a little thin now. 7/10 would be my score.

    lol I was there too :D

    I was really disappointed that the cinema was so empty (I'd say it was about 30% full?). We're going to Tropic Thunder in Greenwich tonight and it will be interesting to see how full it is considering that it took me about a week to get tickets. I wonder how many of those people that bagged tickets will actually turn up?

    Pineapple Express would get a 7/10 from me too. It started a little slow but there were lots of laughs throughout. The image of the guy driving with his foot through the windscreen is still making me smile ;)

    wow- what screen was you in? I was in screen 3 and seemed pretty full, from my seat at the back.( maybe not many seats taken at the front) I had an old guy next to me sleeping most of the way through the film- when he woke up at the end he said to his wife "that wasn't what I expected":rotfl:

    Just returned 2 tickets to see Tropic Thunder in Camden Town tonight to SFF. Thanks.

    Saw Pineapple Express last night. Quite funny but the film dragged in a lot of places and was too long.

    Saw Pineapple Express last night and thought it was fab, very funny 8/10. For once the cinema was packed and people were even having to sit on the steps (it was on a small screen though).
