At Castleford, the cinema was barely a third full and the staff came in shortly before the START of the movie and removed all the excess bags of popcorn. I've never seen that before but it is the first time a Virgin screening has been at a Cineworld around here.

Having read a_person's review of this film, I'm glad I live miles from you! :wtf:

When someone upsets you, you sure sound ANGRY!!!!! :twisted:

I didn't manage to see TH in Glasgow tonight as I didn't get tickets but having read the reviews I'm not sure I've missed much. Sounds as though it could be ok as a film for TV.
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas

It actually switched itself on when the power button hit my keys & because I keep it permanently on vibrate anyway, I didn't feel the need to switch it off again.
Neither am I. I just like my phone to be on though so I can easily see the time when I need too and also if I lose my phone, can call it.

They didn't ask us for ID though, which is good because it was in my cousin's name.
The only detector I ever saw that could possibly intercept signals was at the Inception screening last year. It would certainly intimidate me if it were my first time at a screening but it's not so I couldn't give a f**k.

They took it all for themselves. Did you get a spare bag for me Steve? :rolleyes:

Well, let's just put it this way - if you're nice, I'm very pleasant. If you're not then neither am I. I don't think I sounded that angry infact I thought it was rather mild! :shifty: That's just a normal day. There have been worse experiences.

Yes Channel 5 on a Sunday evening. I can see it showing on there in a few years time.
