Not quite right now, but last night I was at a free screening of Diamonds Are Forever. It was a special Atmosphere screening where they try and emulate the atmosphere cinemas of the 20s and 30s with extra visuals, sound effects, smells etc. during the film.
There was a James Bond theme. Everyone was dressed for the occasion - tuxes for the guys etc. On arrival we were given a diamond on our way through to the casino. The "diamond" was in fact a cube of jelly Gin and Tonic! Very strong and soon gobbled. They had a real casino set up with proper Blackjack tables, Roulette tables are several real croupiers. Free champagne was flowing too. The film itself had smells pumped into the room at appropriate times in the film, extra sounds of bullet shots within the room and synched to the film, and even a tart's handerchief smell when we all opened our envelopes simultaneously on request! Oh - the icing on the cake - so-to-speak - was the handing out of "diamond"-encrusted cupcakes towards the end.
A wonderful evening - and totally free!
