Can someone really smart or who has a crystal ball tell me which films they think there will be free SFF/Sky screenings for?

Can someone also remind me, are we going for Vue 5 or Vue 7? ie the earlier screening or the later one?

Sorry I have so many questions on this..... What films do people think will sell out first? Obviously surprise film...
I hope Sandra Hebron does something good in her final year, the last few years have been pretty much flops.
I haven't read up yet, who's replacing her?

If anyone is planning on booking tickets I can wholeheartedly recommend 50/50, the Joseph Gordon-Levitt cancer drama (not as depressing as that sounds. Honest). Incredibly funny and very moving (Yes I did get a bit teary-eyed on a few occasions). A great supporting cast, Seth Rogen, Anjelica Huston, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer but this is really JGL's film. He's in almost every scene and is fantastic.

My journalist friend sent me the list of films she is thinking of seeing and there is some weird shit on there. I think the only films we might agree on are Carnage, Bernie and Wild Bill.

Carnage and Bernie are on my list of films to book when the online booking opens to members next week. I used my champion membership today to book Shame, The Ides of March, The Descendants, The Artist and the surprise film. As most of those are galas, it turned out to be ridiculously expensive.

Not as yet. No point trying for accreditation either as having a full-time job means I wouldn't be able to make the most of having a press pass. The best I can hope for is individual screenings of films beforehand, like tonight's 50/50 screening.

First time though probably the last. Since becoming a champion member last October, I've hardly made use of it. Today was the first time really. I could have made more use of it than I have.
