Tarantino is coming to Dublin

Stargal

Anyone heard anything about how to get tickets for this? He's going to be taking questions from the audience after the screening of Death Proof later on this month - w00tage.

From independent.ie:

Cult film-director Quentin Tarantino will be in Dublin later this month for the premiere of his new film, Death Proof.

The movie trails a psychopathic killer played by Kurt Russel and also stars Rosario Dawson and Rose McGowan.

It is being shown for the first time as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

Tarantino will be present after the screening to take questions from the audience.

As far as I'm aware of you have to be a member of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival to be eligible to be put into the ticket 'lottery'. I was a member for the last film festival back in February and I got an e-mail from them yesterday asking would I like to put into a draw to win tickets. On that evidence it seems that the tickets are like gold dust and you would have a very slim chance of getting your hands on some unless you knew some important people.

johnny_ultimate

Damn missed out on the lottery, as expected. Can't complain, because I didnt even know I was a member
Im not sure if I should say this (in case everyone else gets there first ) but tickets are on sale at 10am tomorrow according to the email.

Im not giving any links though - ye can all find that out yourselves
Edit: Ah I wont be that mean Here ye go .

Really enjoyed death proof, highly recommend it if you liked any of his films. I reckon the Q&A would be interesting, i'd rather Kurt Russell though!

monkeyfudge

I got tickets.

But I watched Death Proof there on Sunday and I thought it was terrible.

I have something else on that evening as well, so I may be distributing my tickets to anyone that I deem worthy... stay tuned.

Meh, page just crashes out when I try to book them. I guess I won't be going Ah well, I suppose I can still stalk Tarantino while he's here...

Anybody else having trouble adding seats to their cart when they've selected them? So frustrating...

There's a little animated ticker to the right above the seating chart that appears when you select a seat, it disappears after a (long) while which I reckon is when the seats have actually been added to the cart....

I'm testing my theory now... unfortunately the cart page won't load now but whenever I hit the Back button now the seats are still selected whereas before I had to start again...

Nothing Happening when I press the book tickets link:mad:

Anyone having a similiar problem.

Dont think Ill get them now:( so if anyone wants to sell me a ticket or two I would really appreciate it.

johnny_ultimate

Anyone still looking for tickets try again.
I just got 10 in the last 15mins.

devils_reject

Thankfully got mine just before thay all went :P

ro1798

10 tickets, is it not meant to be 4 per person

koneko

Yeah, that's pretty ****ty tbh.

Somehow managed to get mine anyway, link on the IFI page wasn't working but I still had the direct URL for the store from trying earlier today. Seems to be sold out now.

djkeogh

I'm annoyed I had such a busy day today and missed out on this. Would love to go to this so if anyone would be kind enough to consider me if passing on 1-3 tickets I would be very grateful.

Should be a great showing.

Pretty ****ty!?
Why? Because i had the patience to refresh and reapply countless times for nearly 2hours?
Because i had the foresight to order the maximum of 4 tickets per order a couple of times?
Because i wanted to get myself and my friends tickets to this?

Emotions can sometimes get the better of the best of us.

koneko

Wow, nice abuse there.

I'm saying if someone can order that many tickets I'm sure more people did too, and that's ****ty/unfortunate for people here that wanted to go because all the tickets would be gobbled up by a few. That's why the 4-tickets-max thing is there, they don't seem to enforce it though.

Okay... here's the deal... whoever can come up with the most amusing answer to this question before midnight tonight gets my 2 tickets.

My opinion too. I think he's very hit and miss - more miss than hit for me. Don't want your tickets, I'm sure brickbats will be confiscated at the door

In 1996 the city of Atlanta hosted the olympic games.


Two years prior to this a competition was held to design a special gold medal to mark the 100th anniversary of the modern olympic games. Many top designers and Advertising agencies were contacted, many designs and ideas were submitted and 50 designs were shortlisted.

Out of these 50 designs 100 prototype medals were made (two for each design) of the highest quality gold to get an idea of what the medal design would be like "in the flesh".

All this was kept top secret as the Atlanta games were already under fire because many felt the games should have gone to Athens and this was there way of doing something special and making amends. However things did not turn out as planned............

On the 13th of January 1994 an armoured van on its way to a secret judging panel(which was rumoured to include then president Bill clinton) was intercepted by a gang of four. The three security personal were killed, an ambulance was found burned out some distance away and one of the hijackers was overheard calling one of the guards "slick" but they were never found.

The gold medals were on their way to one Shotaro Kaneda, a brash Japanese ex-con whose job it was to melt the gold medals down (shame;) ) and pour the molten gold into a specially made briefcase.

Shotaro was working for Marsellus Wallace a feared gang leader who had learned of the top secret project a few months previously from a pro boxer who owed him a favour and had close ties to the olympic commision being an ex gold medalist himself.


0n the 29th of Januay 1994 some two weeks after the van heist the the specially made briefecase was used as part of a deal, the particulars of which are only know to Marcellus himself............the results were'nt great!








So there you have it the story of the contents of the mysterious briefcase and as you might of guessed I really reallly really want (need:o ) those tickets:)


And as you can probably gather from my previous posts I am a massive fan of gindhouse/exploitation cinema from the 70's and 80's and QT is my fav director of all time (which is saying something) so this is soemthing I would kill for. I assure you, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who will enjoy this event as much as me.

A birthday cake for marsellus wallace (explains the glow)?

For a time I thought it may have been the diamonds from resevoir dogs.

I was so annoyed today, didn't have a credit card with me so ran to film base (I was only on a ten minute break) since it's linked to the jameson film fest...then IFI.....then temple bar property....then the Savoy. The savoy weren't selling them even though it's playing there.

End coming back to college an hour late, and end up getting sent home (I pretended to be sick but it backfired when the teacher said that I would be a risk to the other students. I had to lie to my classmates which was terrible since they were quite concerned).

If anyone has any spare tickets I gladly pay double for them (I'm preferably looking for two).

PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!!!!:(

Aw man.... this was really tough.

It's between Babybing and neXus9 as it sort of seems pretty important to them.

Would you be willing to take one ticket each?

Yes, ofcourse, one would be great!!

Been wanting to talk to Tarantino ever since I saw resevoir dogs when I was 14.

One each would be the best option, I'd say.;)

monkeyfudge

Well I should have them in the post this week to me... I'll PM you both when I get them.

Thank you, you're a life saver!!

Ok, I know I'm ot the first in queue but if anyone has 2 tickets to premiere you can now support the seventh year of our marriage by enabling us to do something that we both want to do at the same time (doesn't happen often)-Go see Death Proof and Tarantino!:D
Oh pleasepleasepleaseplease:)
p.s. We will even pay you;)
