Oh I am totally down for a bit of Lethal Weapon! Nice!

phasers

The screening of Transformers has been cancelled because they didn't want to disappoint kids, according to The Screen's facebook. WTF?

Skinfull

WTF! Indeed! Thats bull****. Kids probably wouldn't go anyway.

e_e

Why would Kids be disappointed? I don't get it.

phasers

I don't really understand it either, they're showing lethal weapon instead now for some bizarre reason.

johnny_ultimate

Yeah cancelling Solaris and Transformers and replacing 'em with Lethal Weapon as a compromise?

You have to wonder what audience they're aiming for :pac:

I can't see all that many Tarkofsky fans being happy with that one :P

I knew it! I seen Tron there last week and the bloody thing looked like it was HD!:rolleyes:

35mm is far higher HD than HD, a print would have looked better :pac:

I really want to see The Thin Red Line, but might be pushing it to make the Apichatpong Weerasethakul talk. I think I'll risk it.

Sad Professor

I would love to see The Thin Red Line on the big screen but I'm working.

They're on in the same screen, maybe you can convince them to let you sit there after TTRL.

johnny_ultimate

Oh, cool, will probably head along then. Although think going to see the Adventures of Iron Pussy might be more appropriate in that time slot :P

maybe they meant that lots of people could end up booking it expecting the new movie and they'd have a bunch of miffed kids and angry parents on the day...?

But that would be the parents own fault for being stupid.

Just title it as one of the following -

Transformers - 1985 Animated Movie
Transformers Original Cartoon Movie
Transformers - The New Merchandise

Skinfull

Sadly people are stupid... they read what they wanna read then blame the venuw for not putting on what they wanted to see... GRRRR!!! How awesome would it be to see the Original Transormers in the Screen?
Maybe we should rally together... next time you are at or near the screen, pop in and ask when its showing! then why its been cancelled!

If we get enough people showing interest maybe they will reconsider!? Worth a go surely!

e_e

Why do I get the feeling the Screen will do the same thing once the Akira remake is out? :rolleyes:

phasers

I was thinking similar, are they just not going to show animated films now for fear of upsetting kids?

e_e

AH if that screening of The Thin Red Line today didn't show how great 35MM can be, nothing can.

The grin on my face when I walked in late and saw that stunning picture quality! (side note: Dublin Bus are evil incarnate)

Also, the sound design in that film is almost without equal.

e_e

Yeah it looked like the film could have been released yesterday! Other than a print which was hanging around for 13 years. :pac:

Confirmed date and location for the next Triple Bill! Check it out in my sig!

...Maybe I should ask the mods if I can open a new thread rather than hijacking this one...

ah you're not hijacking this thread.
I added in Slacker which is a much better Richard Linklater movie than Dazed and Confused imo.

I'd say about 80% of my boards posts are in this thread!

I do like Slacker but its a slow burner. I prefer A Scanner Darkly out of either of them but it didn't fit the theme. I dunno if I can add Slacker to the list without loosing the results. I'll check.

ALOT of votes for B&T Excellent Adv!

I don't really get the big deal with dazed and confused, slacker is way funnier. I'd prefer a scanner darkly too but as you said didnt really see it fitting the kind of theme you had going.

Wonder if they sell more wine tonight than usual.

--LOS--

aw sh!t, missed Withnail coz of mothers birthday. Was it good?

Skinfull

Was surprised at the lack of people in Lethal Weapon on Monday.

Oh and I asked them about Transformers and they said it will be on but it was advertised for the wrong date! Maybe we will get a screening! WOO!

foxyboxer

I had never seen Withnail and I before so headed along to the Screen showing. Enjoyed it immensely.

"Monty! You terrible c*nt!"

--LOS--

I actually just wanted to enforce it on the OH, cinema is good for that!
