Am I going to be the only intrepid FMUKer going to the Runaways tonight now? I will probably report back and say opps there were only 10 sad people watching it...
I'll see you there, superhero, am going to brave it too! btw, less of the sad.... o/

I am going to stick with my principles of giving new films preference over old ones in cinemas. I don't think I've seen a film in a cinema twice for a longggg time. It's another one of those myths propagated by film companies, oh watch it again and again on the big screen, the big screen experience, the 3D experience and so on.... and just watch their bank accounts explode with filmgoers £££
(Yes it's a minority view on FMUK, I know ;) )

Well, I only watch an old film if I have not seen it before, and yes, my preference is to watch new films first! I agree with you superhero! ;)
