The Hangover 3

[caitlinmorton]

Lovely to meet asamaic, and good to see tsoiboy and prettyxcool, but the seating was incredibly confusing. I am (hopefully) getting over a nasty case of allergies right now so wasn't quite feeling myself. Kept saying to asamaic "They need to bring me Bradley Cooper if they're going to be like this." AND THEY DID.

ALMOST made it through the movie without coughing, though that place sounded like a hospital ward towards the end. I quite enjoyed the film. It was a bit over the top, but I don't mind that, it was just what I needed, though I will say
[spoiler]I was disappointed at the lack of Mike Tyson.[/spoiler]
Overall though I really enjoyed it and had a lovely evening.

Good to see Asamaic, Caitlinmorton, Livi92 and PXC. Seating like others have mentioned was shambolic.

I went in to watch this with real low expectations. I did not watch the last film. Altogether this film was very similar to the first and nicely ties up all the loose ends and finishes the series well. The best part of the film is the end with a sequence just after the the start of the end credits.

The real high light was the director Todd Philips, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, making a brief but welcome appearance before the start of the film.

7/10

I had a lovely night and it was great to meet Livi92 (and enormous thanks to her for offering a spare seat). The film was pretty good too, a bit better than I expected.

The organisation tonight was downright shambolic. I managed to bag a ticket through SFF at around 18h55 this evening (shortly after accepting and then declining Tsoiboy's very generous offer), which meant that I only managed to get to the venue at around 19h15. A dynamic duo of ticket-checkers then sent us late comers back and forth between the two entrances. We orbited the refreshment stand for about 10 minutes until finally somebody snapped and demanded the ticket-checker tell us all what the hell was going on. Shortly after it was explained to us that we'd need to wait for the next screening to start and that we'd be advised where to collect the tickets. The movie eventually started around 20h10 in screen number 3 (with randomly assigned seats) and there weren't any celebrities to be seen.

The movie? Ecch....I found it lame as hell. I'll admit, I giggled at the segment atop the Caesar's Palace rooftop but the rest of it felt ridiculously uninspired. Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms hardly featured at all. This seemed to be entirely Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong's movie. Oh how I wish this could be the last of the infamous Wolfpack adventures but, judging by the mid-end-credits scene, there already seems to be another one brewing on the horizon...and it does not look pretty.

Okay I was there queuing at around 6:30 and there was a group and a couple infront of us.. The OH b*ght himself two beers and took a while to be served. Got given tickets saying we're in row L and thought.. Oh no bet they are rubbish. Got in there and there were people seated already. We were told we had to keep to our allocated seats so fair enough we were on the right hand side of the screening and thought..well what was the point in turning up early when couldn't get good seats. Watched trailers and waited and waited.. Then BAM..OMG the cast came and said hello and I wanted Bradley Cooper to speak more but maybe he's shy? At that point I thought the film was amazing already lolz. Okay watched the film and laughed at certain bits.. preferred the previous Hangovers but the end topped it up for me. 7.7/10 from me =).

P.S Thank you Andy once again for giving me the tickets

What a chaos at the screening tonight with the seating arrangements. I was chatting to people in front of me in the queue, and they said that a lot of them did not get into the Q&A screening tonight with Will Smith (what was that all about?), so they all came to queue up early for the Hangover film. Then Vue started letting in the second queue, which we had joined, and they seem to be randomly giving out tickets, allocating the worst seats first and splitting everyone up, so no one sat with their plus ones.

There was no way I was going to sit in seat 1 of the back row stuck in the right hand corner, while my OH sat in B row! Stuck there meant, I could not escape to sit in any empty seats in the aisle, which I had noticed were empty. Does anyone know if this was a pa*d for screening too? I didn't want to sit in seats that people had pa*d for, so I stayed by the entrance until everyone had sat down. Then a group of people turned up, and one sat in the seat that I had been eyeing, and I spoke to one of the chaps with the group, and said I cannot believe that, explained the situation to him and he said I will definitely be able to sit in those seats, so I asked if he was the organiser of this event, and he said sort of! Then he asked the girl to leave the seat so I could sit there, and asked me to get my OH so he could sit with me! Result!

Then Bradley Cooper and some of the cast came on stage. In my mad dash down to the front to get some photos, to join tilly, I missed totally what they were saying, and by the time, I got down, they walked off! I think tilly got some though.

The film was weird, starting of in quite bad taste, then it sort of grew on me and I actually started to quite enjoy it towards the end, from when the little boy came on the scene. He was so adorable! That was the best part for me and when the hilariously funny Chinaman was gliding over Las Vegas. And of course Bradley Cooper! 7/10

Great to see tilly, tsoiboy, ritamistry, caitlinmorton and asamaic tonight too.

They've made it pretty clear that its a trilogy, unless they lied. But I figure that's probably the case, as Bradley Cooper is too busy getting nominated for all sorts of awards now anyway.

Nice of them to let you into another screening...though there were quite a few seats available in the actual screening. Not necessarily good ones mind you, but the one next to me was free, and I saw quite a few others free as well. No points for organization.

The seating/ticketing arrangements were shambolic by any standard. Having been asked by one of the suit monkeys to start a new queue, I then saw people who arrived after me going in before. To be honest, that probably made no difference once it became obvious that the tickets that they were handing out were being issued fairly randomly.

This wasn't like a normal SFF screening. I had what looked/sounded like an Alcoholics Anonymous convention seated behind me, as well as a group of other lunatics. It was sad to see how trashed the room was when I left. Maybe that behaviour was a tribute to the film, but it's unfair on the staff that they have to clean up after that.

The cast's quick hello at the beginning was very welcome, and made being put in row B a bit of a result.

I wondered if part of the screening was pa*d for initially because of the insane seating (welcome to the punch with director Q&A at the same cinema was part pa*d, I b*ght that ticket two or three weeks before the screening, because as a film student its useful to me to go to a director Q&A, and then of course got a text from SFF day of offering tickets. not amused. no assigned seats and madness with that one though, and the director and the cast being there wasn't a surprise, though the lack of the advertised james mcavoy was a disappointment), but asamaic pointed out that when that happens SFF always warn you to be discrete so as not to upset people who pa*d. Noticed those groups who obviously thought they were in their own living room all the way from row G on the right hand side. People these days....Noticed quite a bit of tittering at the beginning of the film, think that people were just excited to see the cast though, as it went down after the first few minutes and was only a few idiots after that.
