ugc is really starting to irritate me now....

first it was the isle, next shaolin soccer, then just recently garden state and now finally house of flying daggers has been yet again delayed, with no release date in sight :mad:
its a freaking piss take, being screwed over like this

Ahhhh poor baby. Why not just take advantage? It's so cool how they only really check tickets at the bottom so you can go to quite a few films. Also, book your tickets online or by phone and get student ones, you don;t have to show a card.

i used to sneak in(well once), but now they have heavy security.....and(apparently) have caught quite a few ppl. and i use my(out of date) student card anyway

So does this mean that no cinema in Dublin in going to be showing House Of Flying Daggers? Please don't let the answer be "yes" . I've been waiting for freakin' ages for it. Surly others will be showing it. It has ads. on T.V. after all.

I wouldn't be too worried about missing out on the Isle. I got the DVD last week, I didn't find it to be all that great....

Umm it's not UGC's fault if the distributors don't send them the film reels! I'm assuming that the success of 'Hero' means there's less reels available and Ireland gets screwed over - all of Ireland and not just UGC. Ditto I assume good buzz means 'Garden State' has less copies for us because the Brits, or whomever, get the reels. It'd only be right to be angry with UGC if they were the only ones planning to show it but then didn't.

Anyway, 'Shaolin Soccer' is out this week and January seems to be a pretty heavy schedule. Must check out 'When the Last Sword is Drawn' too.

UGC are the best cinema in Dublin city centre imo.

I have my Unlimited card for them and it's the handiest thing I have (especially when I was spending 15 quid a day on the cinema over the summer...).

The ques always move pretty fast and the showings are on at decent times and actually start when they're supposed to.

They're not responsible for the movies being delayed, that's down to any number of outside influence... distributors, production companies, censors etc.

Why would UGC alone delay films when they only get the movies on limited release anyway...

Imo Savoy is the worst cinema out there... Manchurian Candidate started 15 minutes late, the cinema smelt of cheese and there were 20 minutes of ads (not trailers, like tv ads) before it and then there were NO trailers!

UGC show a couple of ads and then go into the trailers and they're usually on time.

Anyway, rant over...

i like the UGC.. the seats are nice, the cinemas are clean... and its usually just the right level of sound.
Savoy sound can be hell... too loud or too low...

is the unlimited card worth it?
