I've got tickets to see this at the O2 on the 21st, but then I've also been thrown a curve ball in the form of Brad Pitt (hubba hubba) in the moneyball. I just don't know what to dooooooo!

Thankfully, they're both in the O2, so I'll just have to make up my mind while picking up my free popcorn. If still undecided, I'll then have to turn to the powers of Ip Dip Do. :confused:
It's futile to be brutal, that won't get you a dime, so be human all the time.

you could always see the other one on £3.00 Monday as a compromise. I'm using a voucher for Moneyball.

I was asked last week (for only the second time in two years) but she still let me in without one.

Just on my way back from seeing this at Croydon Grants.  I found this film very, very slow. My friends and I did enjoy it, but felt it could have been edited down quite a bit! The music and feel of the film reminded me a bit of the film "Signs".

Just back from Glasgow Quay where film was shown in one of the smallest cinemas. What a strange film! It was certainly too long by about 40 minutes. The acting was good on the whole although I didn't have any real empathy with the characters.
Were we mad to sit through this 2 hour film? :blink: Probably not.
Do I know what the conclusion meant? :confused: I've got my own ideas but will be interested in hearing what others think (though being careful not to spoil film for others!)
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas
