LOL, bless them. I remember my first visit to France, and dropping my jaws at their public film posters of sexy films which held nothing back on the large billboards. Even Amsterdam is a little more covered up!AYBG wrote:
Anywho I shall end this post with some food for thought: in France, Kick-Ass is rated a PG.
Yeah, it is shame seeing we didnt get to say hello especially as I dont get to see much previews. Hopefully next time! Interesting what you say about your 2nd viewing. I really do think its to do with the atmosphere. The first time you went, I am guessing the crowd was pretty jazzed up, and as a result the movie will appear to be more pacier. More laughter and noise at key scenes in the film kinda makes a film race along nicely. I have seen many films more than once in a cinema and almost every time on my 2nd or 3rd viewing, the film seems to roll a lot slower and either 2 things happen, there is more detail and nuances to absorb, or the opposite happens, the film seems more shallow.valda wrote: I was there too. Mr G shame I didn't get to say hello. So, we got there and there was about 5 people sitting down. The usher people come in, saying 'who let them in' and that 'its going to cause problems' they asked one couple to move so they could reserve the seats, but when I asked should I move, he said I'd be ok, so I stayed in the middle towards the back. The reserved seats were for the press so that's probably why there was no real atmosphere in the place. they didn't even look like the sort of journalists who would like the film. Anyway we ended up moving again as we had some noisy girls behind us. As the reserved signs were taken away we thought we'd get there but weren't allowed, so, ended up crammed on the sides - why on earth did I move in the first place?
So back to the film, on my second viewing I still enjoyed it immensley. However, I seemed to remember there being more action and less talking. Strange what the memeory does.
So they were the press, huh? well, thats the last time I'll read any of their reviews, those sad stuck up bunch of...oh I just pity them!valda wrote:The reserved seats were for the press so that's probably why there was no real atmosphere in the place. they didn't even look like the sort of journalists who would like the film.

Maybe its that connection that drew the producers to Winkleman, so not as coincidental as we may thinkkevinknapman wrote: Weird possible coincidence though, Winkleman is married to Kris Thykier, who was one of the producers on 'Kick Ass','Stardust' and new John Madden film 'The Debt', which were all co-written by Jane Goldman, who is married to Jonathan Ross, who presented the show last. Spooky.
Noticed some nice little details myself yesterday.TheyCallMeMrGlass wrote:I have seen many films more than once in a cinema and almost every time on my 2nd or 3rd viewing, the film seems to roll a lot slower and either 2 things happen, there is more detail and nuances to absorb, or the opposite happens, the film seems more shallow.
MK said on the podcast that he's never been asked and never would be asked as he's too opinionated. However Claudia Winkleman? What on earth is that about? Ah well at least I won't bother watching the showTheyCallMeMrGlass wrote:So they were the press, huh? well, thats the last time I'll read any of their reviews, those sad stuck up bunch of...oh I just pity them!valda wrote:The reserved seats were for the press so that's probably why there was no real atmosphere in the place. they didn't even look like the sort of journalists who would like the film.
Btw Jonathan Ross just did his very last Film 20XX last week, gonna miss that nutter. I expect Mark Kermode will take over who I like but he aint no Jonathan.
