Oh yes, he is nearly 6ft and size 10 shoes, has a fat lip and a swollen nose (fell down the stairs at this friend's house on Sunday), white polo shirt and shorts.
They both went in before us as we were still finishing our drinks in Costa Coffee, we were a few rows from the front. I do feel sorry for anyone sitting near him!

You will only have to endure my son and friend/s in school holidays as we go up the West End and son and friend/s go to the Troc, although they were both disappointed as the arcade was closed due to electrical failure. We were ok though, as we were down Oxford street!

Saw this at a packed Braehead preview showing. Really enjoyed film though I don't really think it was suitable for young children (particularly the 5 year old who sat behind me and kicked the seat throughout the show!). The film is classed as a 12A but I would be wary of taking child under that age. Although my children are now older, I would not take them to a 12A film unless I'd seen it or knew what was in the film to make it not have PG rating. The parent of the 5 year old obviously wanted to see the film and didn't seem to notice that the child was scared and bored as she couldn't really understand the film. I would say it is a good "grown up" type film for teenagers as well as adults!
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley

this is not simply an 80s remembered film. Bar some special effects, it feels like it was made in the 80s, and was only just found and released this year after 25 years of gathering dust.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

oh def a good thing, June. Back in the 80s I never had an AK47 to whip out and gun down teenage brats, you know?

If I recall, pellet guns were all the rage back in the 80's...
Not sure what the connection to Super 8 is though? :confused:
