    I dont really see the bad thing about this event...
    • Free Burgers
    • Free Whiskey cocktails
    • Free Screening

    Yeah the audience may have been PR etc but who cares! Sounds like an awesome time and I'm only more sorry that I didn't manage to get tickets. I'll defo try again to get some for the next screening.

    I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, and it was certainly a fun night. But call me a cine-romantic - there comes a point when all the marketing bells and whistles detract from the film itself, and the motives behind the event grow a little suspect. Like Jameson sponsor the Dublin Film Fest, but I don't come out of that feeling like this sudden urge for a hit of cold, hard whiskey ;)

    It was an enjoyable night (even if some of the gimmicks did distract more than entertain), and I can never begrudge free burgers. But there was this cynical niggling I couldn't quite shake.

    The chairs were uncomfortable though. Hope we call all agree on that :pac:

    Burgers yumm... whiskey cocktails yumm, Cynicism meh, I could totally indulge then use blinkers and enjoy the movie but uncomfortable chairs is unforgivable! and I mean that! Its so important to the movie experience!

    There are optimum rows in each screen in cineworld and The screen... you just gotta know where to look!

    Quick question lads, is there any chance ET will sell out tomorrow evening or will I be safe enough waiting til I get there to buy tickets? Can't really buy em in advance cos not sure how many kids I'll have with me! :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭Skinfull


    Sorry for not replying sooner, and seeing as the movie started by now you know the answer, but I'm guessing it wont sell out.

    Scrooged on the other hand...

    Yeah I really hope they play teh credits speech all the way through! YAY! Can't wait!! Will be a nice way to spend this snowy tuesday! :)

    On another note... really enjoyed Die Hard 2 depsite the 3 or 4 guys sitting next to us messing on their phones the whole time! You might think only you can see the screen but, sitting in a dark room that phone screen looks like a very bright beacon of light! If you cant do without your phone for 2 hours, please just dont go to the cinema!!! >_<

    Slightly unrelated to Classics, but can i bring my own drink into The Screen tonight? Never like paying loads for a litr'a'cola, and always just bring a Coke into Cineworld.

    Yeah you can. They dont check bags or anything like that.

    Brilliant screening of Scrooged in the Screen tonight. Really good crowd, there was a buzz in there before the flick and thank god I wasn't the only one singing in the end!

    You can collect them from the ticket machine with your credit card or from the counter on the night. Or you can go in any time and buy them.

    Its a Wonderful Life is on in the Screen on Tuesday. I think that ends the classics in the Screen. The IFI is doing the christmas musicals like Meet me in St Louis and High Society, and by christmas musicals I mean that they are on the tv at christmas, though not particularly christmas themed!

    Its a wonderful life last night in the screen was a delight! They had screen 1 and 2 showing it as they had sold so many tickets (sadly I was put in screen 2) so didnt get the full retro vibe but feck it, the movie was brilliant! Sigh. :cool:
