I just got the Kindle Edition of "Drive", I will probably be watching the movie again this weekend and I am waiting impatiently for the soundtrack release... what is wrong with me!

It's called Love. Some may say obsessed but let's go with love.

Was it just me or did anyone else think Ron Perlman (Nino) looked like Will Ferrell in this? I was even wondering whether it was actually Will Ferrell thrusting his jaw out.

Did anyone hear back from Cineworld West India Quays regarding all their cock-ups? :angry: They didn't respond to me. :angry:

Write to them again a_person. Hound them and make them p*y for their rudeness and bad service!

I just wrote to the Odeon again as they said they'd get back to me in 7 days and it's 8 days now. I got an answer immediately saying that they had given all the info to Odeon Swiss Cottage who will get back to me soon. I don't give up. I sometimes add that I plan to write to the Consumer Editor at The Guardian too.

Haha, that's a good one - thanks ejwrank for the great advice! I think they should offer me an unlimited membership for a year after all the rubbish I have put up with at the last screening! :rolleyes:

Hahahaaa, I see I am not the only one harassing them now. Like you I waited 8 days and wrote back to Odeon guest service :)
I received an email back half an hour after (not bad for a Sunday afternoon) telling that this time (WTF!) they sent all the details to the Swiss cottage manager, I should allow another 7 days....
They will get tired before me :)

How does everyone feel about Carey Mulligan? I know we should support British talent, but is she a talent? She seems to have a constant expression of an excited 5 year old and now I’ve found out she is to be Daisy in The Great Gatsby. I am horrified!

Nothing as yet. I think when I've complained and it was a sky screening it has been resolved quite quickly but they seem a bit lax with SFF screenings. Or maybe it is just WIQ.
