Yeah it was a bit complicated. When I got there and showed them the print out and code (thinking it would be a bit like most free preview screenings) they weren't sure what I was talking about until I went to the box office and they exchanged it for tickets!

Thats not bad, so you get 2 for 1 for 1 film and then a completely free ticket for another film as well

So it was actually down to his sister and mother that David got the tickets for this!

Well I believe you had to book an Orange Wednesday on a certain date and for a certain qualifying film to allow you to apply later (with a code they send you afterwards) for a variety of BAFTA screenings. There was only one screening in London at BAFTA headquarters (for True Grit) and that sold out quickly but cinemas elsewhere seemed to have a better choice.

Now if you could p*y for the 2 for 1 with a free cinema voucher and then get two free vouchers for another film, I would be really impressed. Would feel like they are p*ying you!

Not sure if it's possible to p*y for a 2/1 with a free cinema voucher so I'll leave it to you, Beate, to put that to the test!

Orange website says: "There’ll be more chances to get screening tickets next week, so keep an eye on the announcements on Twitter and Facebook."

As I am not on Twitter or Facebook maybe someone else can tell us when this is possible.

I really wasn't that impressed with the film as a whole but I thought Jesse Eissenberg was pretty good and Andrew Garfield was amazing!!! They both deserve recognition for making the film watchable and half decent.
