Will we be booking in advance?

Check back here later for details.

Will we be hanging around after the film?
Yes. The plan is to have a grand aul chat about it afterwards.

Great stuff. Although Im afraid I'll have to sit out the first meeting of the new film club. I did a sneaky one and saw Up in the Air last night (Sorry we went to see the road but it was sold out).
Although Im happy to report that Up in the Air was a great movie. Clooney is top class as is everybody else(Vera farmiga is great but she is also a stone cold fox). Really enjoyed it.

Cool beans, I should be coming along for that...

I'll know more on Monday. Back in college and need to check my timetable but this sounds good. Nothing better than meeting up with randomers from the internet to watch a film.

Here's hoping that this will be a long lasting thing.

Coriolanus

I'll be there. Hopefully I'll be moved into the city centre by then, but even if I'm still in Wicklow I can get the last bus out of the city home.

Looking forward to it

If I'm to go to this then there's got to be a golden rule observed by members of this club.

Mobile phones switched OFF. Not even on vibrate.... OFF. There's nothing more annoying than seeing someone taking their phone out of their pocket to text someone halfway through a film.

Even though you may not think it is, it's extremely distracting for people who have paid the best part of 8 or 9 euro to watch a film in peace.

If you can't go two hours without the need to text someone then there's something wrong there.

Yeah, +1 on that. So frigging irritating.

The Black Oil

Amen to that.

I'll try to make it along, but we're getting walls replastered and doing painting, moving stuff out of the room, etc, so I may not make it.

I like it. Anyone found to be breaching cinema etiquette rules gets a gang beating after the film.

And is made to watch Bratz: The Movie..... over and over and over again.

Count me in for the film too. You wont miss me, Ill be sitting down and have wheels instead of feet!

Galvasean

Glad to see such a positive response. Looks like we will end up getting a decent number.

marwelie

Sorry to put a spanner in the works but are we sure that Up in the Air will still be in the cinema on 29th January?

Galvasean

I was in Cineworld on Sarurday and 4 screenings were sold out with plenty more on. With that kind of momentum it will surely still be on.
Good ol' George Clooney

Coriolanus

I only got around to reading Clarkes interview with the director that was in Irish Times last Friday, and after that I'm looking forward to it even more.
Clarke is a really tough reviewer, and he had only praise for it. (Didn't read the actual review though, just the 2-page piece on the director).
I loved Thank You For Smoking, so looking forward to more of the same dry wit.

That_Guy

I got my timetable from college and I finish at three on Friday's so I'll definitely be in attendance. Maybe this thread should be stickied so that it gets more attention.

Anakin.S

I'm going to watch it in belfast on the 29th, so I can join in on the boards on the 30th

Galvasean

Think I've found a nice spot (very close to Cineworld) to meet up at.
Gonna drop them a line and see if they'll reserve a table or two for us.

Is it one of the playhouses in Smyth's?

marwelie

I hope the meet up point is wheelchair friendly!

johnny_ultimate

Not working on Friday so will totally be there, with a cherry on top.
So look for the guy with a cherry in his hair.

Better double check that. Otherwise it's back to the drawing board.

Maybe I'm betraying my social ineptitude, but if that was a reference to something, it went whoosh, over my head.

I don't think it was a reference to anything tbh.

I'd say the time's for Friday will be available tomorrow. The times are the same all through the week so the chances are it might be the same on Friday.

6pm or 8:40pm would probably the best time to see it... Depends on whether or not the times are the same. I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow.

Galvasean

Just looking at the times now. I think the 8:40 screening might be handier (gives people time to get in from work).
As for venue, the place I had in mind is not wheelchair friendly (at all), so we can scratch that. It might be handier since it' teh first meeting if we just met in the Cineworld bar at about half 7 (we can be more elaborate in the future when some of us know each other). How does that sound?

As for visual signifiers.... keep an eye out for a guy with a toy rhino/Triceratops.

That_Guy

I'll be that guy... Yeah.. You'll know.

Brown hair, 6 foot one, wears a dressing gown, no shoes?

pixelburp

Hmmm not sure I'll be making this after all; just there on Friday my company announced that it was letting go three-quarters of its management staff as a "creative solution" to its troubles, with most of them leaving this coming Friday (the 29th). I may have to go to a funer...booze-up instead

I don't wanna be that guy.

1968

I unfortunately won't make it this time around. (Organising a gig on the same night)

But very interested in heading to future ones. Especially if they're on Thursdays or Sundays as they suit me best.

marwelie

I'll be there....but what exactly does a Triceratops look like ;o)

Galvasean

bit like a rhino..

Saw it tonight.

Strange. Was just checking the Cineworld website this morning and they've only listings from Monday to Thursday and nothing for Friday.

Galvasean

Ah, thats's frustrating.

I've edited the OP to highlight.

Kane-N-Nite

I'm in work today & I got my cousin to check who has access to upcoming times.
Up In The Air : times for this Friday
Screen 6 at 11.20, 13.50, 16.40, 19.30, & 22.00
Screen 7 at 19.30, 22.00.

Of course it maybe safer to wait to decide until times are published, but these are the times as of now.

Valmont

Pending a disaster of some kind, I will definitely be going; dressed in an assortment of navy clothes.

If that's the case 19:30 sounds the best (anyone know which screen is better?). Meet up in Cineworld bar between half 6 and 7

Screen 6 & 7 are practically the same. Chances are screen 7 won't be used unless Screen 6 is selling well.

Baggly

Ill pop along to this if i may

Coriolanus

Half seven is actually better for me anyway tbh. Still plenty of time for people who get off work at six to make it into the city centre, surely.

I should be there early, I finish in Abbey St at six thirty.

marwelie

Half seven for me too. Heres hoping the lift is working ;o)
