No shit, she did? LOL, at least they liked it, there was one guy who walked out after an hour or so, and he had lots of luggage on him. He got up just when your colleague squealed the loudest, which really startled me, and then he stood there in the middle of the gangway fiddling with his oversized backpack and coat and other bag and God knows what else he was carrying. He looked like he was fresh back from climbing a mountain somewhere! Some people do make you wonder. :confused:

Someone's going to pipe up now and say it was them or their husband or father or God uncle, right :shifty:

Went and saw this at a fairly full Southampton Odeon,where we were greeted by a very nice Virgin rep and free popcorn.As for the film loved it from start to finish,easy to follow and the time just flew by.Yes some of the story is a bit far fetched but thats why we go to the cinema to get away from reality. By far the best film this year so far. o/

    We were at Convent Garden and has issues with Virgin (uh, yeah, that's our landlord's name? Definitely required a big of blagging.)

    I liked it, but that's more because I enjoy that kind of movie. It reminded me a lot of Inside Man for some reason... But otherwise, I got distracted by the fluctuation accent (turns out the boy from Stockton can do a better Yankee accent than an Australian) and by some things she said which were totally incompatible with trauma work (which I do). 7/10 for me!

    Besides what she was saying, they seemed to play on that she was a major character in the film, but they never really gave a lot of background on her. At least thats what I thought...

    [spoiler]in fact was wondering if she may have been 'in on it' as well...[/spoiler]

    So utterly average and in-offensive. It's fine for what it is, but what it is is a made-for-TV movie with some bigger names.

    Has that Virgin woman been at previous VM screenings at CG? I haven't been to one in a while. She scared me.

    Me too, seemed a bit too keen and excited!
    Was she taking pictures of those that attended as well?

    Of course not.

    I'm glad she did, though.
