If you remember it was originally supposed to be at the Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue. I assumed they moved it to the Haymarket precisely so they could put it in a bigger cinema. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Yes, if anyone has a non-premium-rate 'phone number. And what then, threaten a mass boycott if the preview isn't in the screen of members' choice?!

It's whichever screen Crazy Heart is showing this week, my guess would be the seedy downstairs hangout, a real shame.

This is Haymarket's number: 020 7930 6196.
I would have called but I absolutely hate speaking on the phone (unless it's a hot guy).
