The only code for this came from more magazine so I had a look in Tesco and in the very small print its says you need to take the page, obviousally if another code comes out you wont but as there were so many tickets on it I doubt there will be another code unless its a VIP one, anyway the mag is only weekly so if your going to b*y it you need to b*y it ASAP, its about £1.20 I think and as the code came out on Tuesday i guess thats when the mags out so this issue will only be on sale till monday.

Usually I wouldnt be bothered (especially If I was going to Cov Garden) but as there is the special info on SFF about them taking phones of you and NDAs then if this is true and they have staff at every screening then they will probably know that you need the page rather than it being whether the cinema staff know.

film PR companies run them to hype up films before release in the same way that SFF previews do- they give you tix if you will blog and twitter about it to build up buzz. I'm in a dilemma at the mo as paramount have just offered me tix to Dance Flick but I know I will hate it but if I say no then they might not offer me anything else and its also on a date I'm hoping to win tix for something else for.
That really sucks! :(

Saw the magazine in my local Tesco this morning (plenty on shelf) It may be like the Times and they never ask for the page but as it is only £1.40 and quite a good magazine it is better to have it with you. Issue Date 10th August with a photo of Sienna Miller on front cover.

WoW - there seems to be a real buzz about this film.

imdb have it in the top 250.

Metacritic has it rated as a 76, with several reviews giving it a mark of a 100 across the pond.

Roger Ebert: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbc ... /907159997

Anyone else excited about this?

I've seen some mediocre reviews too for this film, but I am very excited, because I do like "high concept" films like Groundhog Day, Truman Show etc.

it's ok there's been another code since then so I don't think the mag is needed... I took a quick flick through it last sunday and there was nothing in it I fancied reading so didn't bother ...so far all the times they've said to have times/ heat/ metro etc I've not been asked for it so thought I'd risk it and then a new code came out o/
