Gremlins continue to show up. A check of the expired threads shows http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20557 which is the original thread from free films and all the codes there just work. The thread however shows the whole thing is from 18 months ago.

I did wonder at the times, but missed the BFI date at the top of the page :wall:
Even thanked my ticket fairy :oops:

Is it worth turning up on the off chance of a film?

I suppose so, if you want to see the film, and the Cinema is not too far away from you. If there has been a mess up and they do not have the film, the Cinema might offer you free admission to see another film showing. Then again you might be seeing Frankenweenie ! lol

I never got any apology email, even though they did send me a screening reminder. Didn't try to use it though as was at Bad Neighbours.

I got email at 8pm this evening re no Frankenweenie screening . . . not much use as it was after the film was marked as starting!
I would complain to SFF, Mihangel, and see if they offer some compensation . . . assuming the cinema didn't offer to let them see another film. :rolleyes:

Seriously? Someone actually went to try and see this tonight?
Yes, SFF was pretty stupid doing this but didn't alarm bells ring due to the fact that a) this isn't a preview anymore and b) the blurb was the old one mentioning October's LFF? Oh and c) that we tried to tell people here it's a system glitch?
