I saw this at Norwich in a half-full cinema and quite enjoyed it. I thought it was a bit different.

I was surprised there weren't more people at Norwich. The Transformers screening was the same. We got free popcorn again but it was in paper bags rather than plastic bags, which was a bit of a waste as all the uneaten popcorn must have been thrown away.

Some of the scenes were a bit scary! There were a couple of young kids sat near me and I would have had nightmares if I was their age!!

But what a great film, it overshadowed the surrounding annoyances!

Beat me with sticks if you don't like it. o/ :cool:
No horror or gore, true...though there is the infamous Lardass scene which may gross you out. ;)

form where we were sitting, we could not smell the nachos :D
me+3 were sitting 3 rows from the front, I think we had David+3 just behind us, but not sure... we were the only 8 people to stay till the end of the credit and the light was still not on when we left!

I recognised Cliveas outside when we were waiting for 2 of my friends (they arrived a 6.28pm... I was a little p*ssed off; luckily the screening was not overbooked!)

David and his friends were at Whiteleys.
Cliveas was at the cinema before us but had to wait for hottips and friend who were riding on his ticket!

Btw, lots more people stayed for the credits at Greenwich - we were on our way out and had just reached the upper level when the video came on, and everyone stopped what they were doing and watched from where they stood - it was quite funny!

Silly question. Did the projectionist switch the lights off at the Greenwich Odeon?

I've been put off from going for any more previews over there because (for the few I attended anyway) I found having the lights on to be just plain distracting. I can usually tolerate it when they dim them down to about 90-95%, but at this Odeon particularly, they usually only dim them down to about 60%...which I find absolutely unbearable.

yes this was funny to see all those people stopped half way up the stairs :D

(we stayed till the very end, the room was cleared when we left, a part from the not_David_party)
