80s action movies at Cineworld

Galvasean

I was browsing through Cineworld's listings. They are showing the Terminator on Friday 20th at 12:50 and Rocky on Saturday 21st at 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00.
They are also showing Scarface on Monday 23rd at 20:40
Not sure how much tickets are but I doubt they' be full price.
Is this some sort of action movie marathon or something?

All in Dublin BTW

I always wondered why Cinemas didnt do this more often. Surely loads of people would go ? Id be interested in seeing all of those mentioned in the cinema.

See you there! Well depending on my roster for work Ill see as many as possible. Give me a shout (any boarders out there) if you're heading in.
Might go see Transformers and Rocky in one day... sweet.

Yup, its a season of classic movies. They had BttF before => http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055106924

That’s odd. According to the old thread they weren’t planning to show the Terminator until November or Rocky until September. I wonder if it’s a mistake?

I hope there is more than one showing of the Terminator. 12:50 on a weekday is a difficult time for most people to attend.

I’d still like to know if they are 35mm screenings.

The Back to the Future one was a 35mm print anyways. It was old and scratched to sh1t in places but it was still magic seeing it on the big screen. :eek:

Goddammit!! I hate living in county Roscommon, stupid shíthole dosen't even have a cinema!! I'd love to see all those movies on the ol' big screen, I'd see them a lot quicker than any other movie (bar the case of Die Hard 4 & the upcoming Transformers movie!)

senordingdong

I reckon that with the demand put in for BTTF they have finally realised that loads of people would love to see these things again. Unfortunatly, they keep putting them on at bull**** times.

Quinnsey

I guess it was a mistake after all. They're all gone from the schedules now...

When I saw this post I was excited, I've seen Top Gun and Back To The Future there recently. You gotta love the cheesy 80's movies.

Scarface is on this Monday, but I can't see any of the others for sale on their website.

I was told at the cinema last month that they will be screening one movie at the end of each month on a Monday.

I was very disappointed about 'The Terminator' - I had a day booked off from work (coincidence) and was looking forward to seeing Arnie blaze his way through a police station. Alas, not to be (for awhile yet).

Great idea on Cineworld's part though - I wonder how successful the first run was? Judging by them upping the screen it's showing on, I imagine it must've done fairly well.

Galvasean

Got my tickets for Scarface. I better see you all there (not that I know what any of you look like)

Hugh Hefner

I'm seeing Scarface tomorrow. I saw Dirty Dancing when nit was re-released back on Valentine's Day and there's something very satisfying about going into a cinema and knowing that the film's going to be great.

I hate the idea, it pisses me off to no end.
Those of us with unlimited cards can't ge tickets to these things.

What? What do you mean we can't get tickets? As in we can't book in advance or can't even get them on the day?

i would say it is more about the fact that you cannot advance book tickets using the unlimited card at cineworld (grumble grumble) and if you wait til the day of the screening, either all the tickets are gone or you get a bad seat placement (more grumble grumble)

other than that little annoyance, i quite like the card.

Nail on the head.
I had to miss Back to the Future & the Transformers previews for this reason. I couldn't let myself miss Die Hard so I just swallowed it down and put tickets on the credit card.
I'm not even going to bother with Scarface tonight.

tell you what dude, i am going to the cinema in the next 10 mins. if there are tickets left for scarface, i will buy one. I am not going to go myself, but at least you can go to the cinema this evening, pick it up off me and show the ticket and the card to get in.

and if the above still does not want it, if you have an unlimited card and wantsto see it but cannot get in now to purchase it, i will give it to the first person that wants it after. i will post again after 1pm to advise if i even got one.

EDIT - back from the cinema, and i got a ticket. about 1/3 of the screening still available, but this will go really quick this evening i think.

Haha, no way. That's really sound of you, but I've already gone and made other plans.
Thanks a million though.

no probs - I basically live and work 5 mins away from the cinema, so it is very easy to get there to hand it off ya see.

anyway anyone who wants the ticket, PM me and you can have it (must have unlimited card unless they want to risk it)

senordingdong

It's a brilliant idea but unfotunatly they have been clamping down on the unlimited card checks as of late.

Last night I was trying to see transformers with my friend and we arrived at the cinema at 20.00, the 20.40 show was already sold out. We asked for tickets for the 21.20 show but we were told there was only one seat left. The next show wasn't untill 22.00 and even though we knew we weren't going to wait that long, we were so disgruntled that we contemplated getting tickets anyway.
I'm glad I didn't do it as I could not have forgiven myself.

No way! I would kill to see Blues Brothers on the big screen. Anyone have any more info about this?

User45701

Id say that movie would fill screan 17 if it was orginised properly.
There would still be prints of that around right?

Galvasean

Okay, who was the wise guy taht was talking on his phone at Scarface yesterday? Who was throwing the popcorn? And who pushed the emergency stop button on the moving stairs!! :mad:

man, all that happened at the one screening for you ? I am glad i could not go and gave the ticket away now otherwise there would now be 2 lumpy bits of carpet on the way out of the scr............i've said too much.

Hugh Hefner

There was another non-popcorn throwing phone-talker in front of me too. And the forty-five-year-old guy beside me kept laughing loudly at the smallest charachter jokes.

Something I always forget about Cineworld is that no matter what about 10% of the audience will be rectal exits.

Galvasean

I noticed the sound of cans being opened quite frequently during that movie. I doubt its a coincidence.

senordingdong

Ok...so what's enxt month's classic movie?

Quinnsey

And put it on Friday or the weekend for fecks sake.
