Film Forum Movie Meet Ups?

monkeyfudge

Seems to be a film that has garnered a lot of interest on the film forum and something I've always thought we should do more often in this forum is have a few drinks and go to cinema and have a bit of a argument about the film afterwards.

So for those in Dublin I propose giving Cloverfield in the Savoy a go for the 8.50 showing today.

I'll be in Madigans next door from around 6.30 onwards. I'm sure I can drag Blitzkrieg along too.

Anyone else up for it?

If you do pop along, watch out for a table with lots of kinder eggs on it... it's my current obsession.

(Note: I've been avoiding the main Cloverfield thread as I don't want any spoilers, so please don't post any here if you have seen the film)

You fiend! I have mein tickets booked already out in the smelly UCI Blanch.

BlitzKrieg

I'm sure I can drag Blitzkrieg along too.

I'd refuse out of principal except I want to see cloverfield and I like to drink.


SO DAMN YOU!

Wacker

I already have my ticket for the IMC, sorry!

He's 6 years older in boards years.

maybe some advanced notice would help. But its definitely an idea for future movies, but give people at least 2 or 3 days notice beforehand.

yes I know he listed it on his C.V.

BlitzKrieg

To be perfectly honest I was drinking when I posted this thread.... too much bushmills.

But yes... there is no reason why we can't make a proper go of it in future.

The Ladies Lounge go to the cinema pretty much every week...

BlitzKrieg

you have to bring the ladies lounge into everything dont you...

I'll be up in dublin monday thou way out the south side - but if its on in savoy 1 it might be worth wandering into the city center.

Oh.. I don't post that much... at least not in a sleazy way anyway... Although I am only after one thing and that's kinder egg toys.

And you don't find me in the threads about menstrual cups either.

I would bloody* hope not

*no pun intended

ronano

id love to have gone to this! meeting board celebs :P

monkeyfudge

Ha... I'm pretty sure we've met already.

Anyway... it was just myself and Blitzkrieg in the end. At least it was an excuse to eat kinder eggs, as if I needed an excuse.

Cloverfield is amazing though... it's not a movie, it's a roller coaster.... can't wait to go again.

BlitzKrieg

ztoic, I'll go with you on monday if you are still up after 5.

I'll prob see it 3 times by the end of the week

Ginny

MF if you are going again give me a shout!
See I got the MF right, go me:D

This is an idea we should really get off the ground. However, a little bit of notice wouldn't go astray

**** Iron Man. Dark Knight for the win
Maybe something at the film festival too - can imagine a lot of boardsies will be attending at some point.

Would suggest one for Dark Knight but I'll be new york for it - hoping to blag my way into the DC screening [they always have one for the DC staff for comic related movies] if not maybe the NBR screening - doesn't stop anyone here putting one together for dublin thou.

Ginny

Well festival wise I want to see
Cassandra's Dream
Joy Division
Priceless (Hors de Prix)
Funny Games
Savage Grace
Charlie Bartlet
Love in the Time of Cholera
Mister Lonely
Lars and the Real Girl
The Other Boleyn Girl

monkeyfudge

"I'm a Cyborg" might be one in the festival that a lot in the film forum would be interested in.

It's the new film from Park Chan-wook, who did Old Boy.

The Surprise film isn't sold out yet either. There might be a good few interested in The Orphanage as well.

zAbbo

City of Men (Cidade dos Homens) might interest as well, it's similar in vein to City of God (amazing film)

I'd be up for going along to something...

I'd love to meet up, see a film and afterwards discuss said film over a friendly drink. I would have given anything for someone whom I could have discussed Cloverfield with last night, as the friends I saw it with all hated it and didn't want to talk about it. That and the fact that they wouldn't wait for the credits and headed into town without me.

Iron Man, The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk are three films I'd be up for seeing with some boardsies.

Def having an Iron Man meet up with the comics board and if it works out prob a Dark Knight, Hulk, and Hellboy one as well.

Hello all
Well Ive been on the ladies lounge a few weeks, but I only came across this forum at the weekend.

So myself and LilyM1980 are going to see Cloverfield this Tuesday and I see that there is a lot of interest in this thread in going to see it so I thought I see if any of you is interested in coming along too. We are going to see the 7.20pm show in the UGC, Parnell St and will be meeting up at 6ish to go for food first - not sure where yet.

Drag00n79

I'd be on for this too - especially Dark Knight.

I'd have popped along. But I've already seen it twice at this stage and I don't think I'll be out of work for a while yet.

But enjoy... hope you don't get motion sickness.

LilyM1980

Went to see Cloverfield with SheRa this evening. Absolutely loved. I've only started breathing again:)

MYTOTE

Tragedy

Would anyone be interested in something similar for There Will Be Blood or Blade Runner(only showing in Dundrum unfortunately)?

zAbbo

I would.

Diairist

I would too

dog-man-star

There will be blood is getting a wider release this weekend so should be in more Irish cinemas. Blade Runner sadly though is a one cinema only release
