Re: The King's Speech
Precisely what it doesn't need. The film's got to be careful not to be overhyped....

Has anyone who applied via Grolsch/LWL heard anything yet? I think today was decision day and I gather you do hear back, either way?

Losers weren't contacted last time. So I think no news is bad news in this case.Ms Thrifty wrote:Has anyone who applied via Grolsch/LWL heard anything yet? I think today was decision day and I gather you do hear back, either way?
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

Fair enough. So those who've been unsuccessful will only know when others start posting to say they have got tickets!
