Aww no worries, you do such a fab job for everyone! I didn't enter any as I can't make the 14th even if I've never been to the BT tower to watch a film. How amazing an experience would that be???

The comp began with 'meet Hugh Jackman...' so I figured it was the same as the other comps that were offering a meet and greet with premiere tickets. Now I realise it is for a screening at the BT Tower on Friday. :oops:

Back from the premiere! It was brilliant! Had a great time. o/

Our tickets were not the meet and greet kind, but that did not stop me! :D I saw funthing, hopeprince and valda behind the barriers, and went to find a way in. As luck would have it, security was opening up the barrier to let someone else in, so as he did so, I started going in saying I need to speak to the lady with the clapboard over there, as I am with that group over there, etc. suddenly she came over, asked if I had spoken to Irwin or Irvin, so I said yes. That seems to be the password, as we got in!

We had a fantastic view of the whole blue carpet until the photographers came, but nevertheless, we saw the boxer, Amir Khan, Maureen Lipman and I thought she was with Kate from Lost, and stars I have no idea who they are! But the main attraction was Hugh Jackman, and he came over to us! Managed to snap a photo of him with funthing! She deserves it. But as he was late, there was no time for any more and we were ushered into the Screen 1 for the screening, the director introduced the stars including the little boy, and Hugh said a few words. He looked great!

The film was much better than I expected, I hate boxing, just fists hitting each other, but robot boxing, wow, that is something different, it was really exciting and no blood! I was willing the punches, and I got really involved. The film has a universal appeal, it has an original story and has passion. Hugh was great in the part and the little boy who played his son was great too, and I remembered him as the young Thor. He was cute!

10/10 Also for the great company again.

I managed to catch a shot of Hugh and Amir Khan before I headed over to the May Fair for TTSS.
