    The Screen are also showing it on December 8th as per Monkeyfudge's post. I'll defo go as it's years since I seen it so it should be a good watch all over again :)

    I'll do a special post for it once the dates and times are confirmed.

    I posted in the hope that it might be and I didn't know about it... sorry. I can't believe its not actually, its a classic if ever there was one.

    I'd say it will shown as they are showing it becuase of the new print and I can't see them only showing it once. Screen for instance have shown Singin In The Rain three times after the first night.

    Think they decide after the see how demand is and I would say it will quite high for this. Can't wait myself.

    Will go to Cineworld though as I hate the seats in The Screen. I usually end up sitting at the wall to get legroom.

    George Hook was there giving a talk about the movie!!! ??? :eek: :confused:

    Apparently there was food and wine free someplace before it. I got there and he gave some chat about Okalahoma and how cool The Screen is to show these movies and that he's be organising more?

    WTF .. I didn't know these films were arranged by him? Does he talk about them on the radio??

    Yeah I think it's called the newstalk movie club! My parents got free tickets to Oklahoma because of it. They do free screenings all the time, you just have to email them to be put on the list or something like that.

    Would have loved to see Oklahoma on the big screen but I didn't know about it!

    Was it just me or did they mess up the aspect ratio for the screening of The Wizard of OZ tonight? The top and bottom of the screen were being cut-off. It was most noticeable during the credits but throughout the film tops of heads and headwear were being cut-off. It didn't ruin the movie but was an annoyance.

    Looks like they are not showing it now.

    They did this with another classic film in October after having it in the coming soon.

    The IFI were also supposed to show it.

    The print was just released a few months back, they can't just have one damn showing in the Screen .. I'm gonna email them and see if they will show it again over Christmas.

    So I trundled along to the Ivy House last night to catch Scrooged. Walked home very disapointed. :( (in the pissing rain!)
    Movie was free - YAY
    Had to pay €20 to wear earphones - BOO
    It was a deposit so you get it back - YAY
    No sound unless you use earphones - BOO
    Earphones were crap - BOO
    Football was on in the next room but still audible- BOO
    Miller draught was ****e - BOO

    Overal didnt enjoy the pub. Very much an english pub chain (like weatherspoons) atmosphere which was ****e. I'll wait to see Scrooged in the IFI or Screen next year. :(

    Ah sh*t, sorry to hear that :(

    That's crazy, did you complain? Not that it would make any difference I suppose.

    I had never been and I presumed they would have a cinema type setup. That's disgraceful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Yeah. I was in that pub a good few years back and was wondering how they were going to manage to screen films like this as it never seem terribly suitable.

    Still an interesting bit of initiative for a pub to show to get people in on a Tuesday evening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete

    Well, I for one will not be attending a screening there after Skinfull's experience.

    How they get listed on Entertainment.ie is a joke if this is how they treat people.

    I think I will email them and let them know.

    How many turned up Skinfull?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    More 'sort of' musicals at the Screen Cinema... Definitely going to get me some of that Labyrinth action. Wish these weren't on Tuesdays though.

    The Last Waltz(1978)
    Tuesday the 5th of January at 6.30pm

    the+last+waltz+copy.jpg
    Directed by: Martin Scorsese
    Starring: THE BAND, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris and soo many more.

    This immortal music documentary is primarily about The Band but also features performances from legends such as Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Martin Scorsese’s fluid and probing camerawork is remarkable and the performances are treated with the respect and admiration that they all truly deserve. Don’t miss this enthralling piece of cinema on the big screen...and don’t worry, we won’t ignore the opening message: “THE FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!”

    Labyrinth(1986)
    Tuesday the 12th of January at 6.30pm

    labyrinth.jpg
    Dir: Jim Henson

    Starring: Jennifer Connolly, David Bowie

    A favourite of children and adults alike, this cult classic treads the line between children’s movie and terrifying fantasy film. David Bowie provides both the music and the face of the tightpants-attired Goblin King and Jennifer Connolly stars as the dreamy teenager who must save her baby brother from the goblins. Full of wonderful songs, twisted imagery, general madness and of course brilliant Henson puppetry, Labyrinth may be decidedly 80’s in style but its originality never ages a day!

    This is Spinal Tap(1982)
    Tuesday the 19th of January at 6.30pm

    spinal-tap.jpg
    Dir: Rob Reiner

    Starring: Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer

    Most likely the funniest film ever made. This rockumentary, if you will, MOCKumentary follows ageing rockers Spinal Tap as they go through everyday disasters on the road. The film’s stars, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer are ridiculously talented comedians and, luckily, songwriters. The tunes hold up and make this tale of monsters of rock believable and hugely enjoyable. I absolutely must end this blurb by referencing the fact that all amps in the cinema will be turned to 11.

    Cry Baby(1990)
    Tuesday the 26th of January at 6.30pm

    cry_baby01.jpg
    Dir: John Waters

    Starring: Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Ricki Lake, Traci Lords, Iggy Pop

    John Waters, trash filmmaker extraordinaire, not only dissects the conventions of the 1950s social structure, but deconstructs the fashion, music and aesthetic of the era. He creates a world of the leather-clad, hormone-driven “Drapes” and the evening gown-wearing, clean-cut “Squares” in 1950’s Baltimore, which falls into disarray when beautiful square Alison falls in love with the soulful and handsome drape Wade “Cry Baby” Walker. The fantastic 50’s soundtrack, the remarkable costumes and the general sense of John Waters’ anarchy makes this film an classic...not to mention a star-making turn from some young hooligan called Johnny Depp.
