Let The Bullets Fly, by the way, seemed to be nigh-on impenetrable, so good luck with that one, hope you enjoy it more than I.
That's a shame about Let The Bullets Fly. I'm seeing it on Wednesday avo, so will report back after. I was at the Rampart screening on Saturday night. I enjoyed it, but was caught off guard by the ending. The performances were great and it was incredibly stylish in parts (the club scene stands out in particular). I saw Hara-Kiri last night and really enjoyed it. It's low key compared to 13 Assassins, which might disappoint a lot of people, but it looks stunning and is a solid honour/shame/revenge samurai tale. I would say that the 3D is not really necessary as it adds very little. Probably not worth shelling out for it if you have the choice between that and a regular showing.

On my way to see Weekend, I heard good things so should be good.

Does anyone know which stars are confirmed to attend the screenings?

I'm really hoping to see George on Thursday...

Oh woo! He will definitely be there for The Descendants? Or is he only confirmed for The Ides of March?

Well that's why they've put the 2 screenings on consecutive nights, George is too busy to hang around! The year he had 3 screenings, he only missed Up in the Air
