I like Brett Ratner.
*Watches all credibility float out the window*
I'm unsure as to how this film'll turn out, I'll find out on Wednesday, but I'm hoping it's got enough jokes and pace to keep from lagging in the middle.
Great cast should help.

Well, this is the first time I failed to make it into a screening due to it being over-subscribed. Not too miffed because I know it would have been a thoroughly underwhelming experience. (Brett Ratner *pfft*)

Press members got first preference tonight, so only after they were seated did management allow the remaining non-Press members in. Unfortunately due to the lack of space, the lucky few were escorted into the theatre in pairs (one pair for every 10 minutes). At around 18h45 a bouncer came out and told us that there weren't any more seats available and suggested that we email the group that had invited us, and hopefully score a set of comps.

So with SFF, aside from mentioning it on the survey, what else can I do? From past experience, SFF really aren't very good with responding to e-mails.

I was not able to get in too. And very doubtful about all those got in first are press member? I wasted 30-40 mins queuing.... and Cineworld did not even offer another film showing!!!

Gosh, I'm so glad I didn't go.

Sounds like it was very heavily oversubscribed. So only a handful of SFF ticket holders got in? I fear a lot of FMUKkers were turned away then...

The fmuk mob made it in. And yes all those who were let in first were press related.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.
