Not to brag but........

I seen Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen this morning in a special advance screening in Cineworld (Parnell Street)

:p.
(The first screening in the country i believe)

First of all, it is better than the first. it's epic (over two hours long), the trailers don't do the film justice.

Although i saw it for free:p, it'll be worth every cent to go see it on the big screen so I'd recommend it.. (i gave it 8-9 of Ten on The Lock In on Spin Fm

and I didn't think it was possible but Megan Fox got sexier :pac::pac:(sp)

Anyways, this is not the films forum, I got this opportunity to see this through my job, a job that doesn't come with many.It also resulted with me going on The Lock In (Spin Fm) tonight. I told them i had seen the Film and the rang me back and i was put on live

:o.

So whats the best quirk, freebie or bonus that you've gotten through/from your job??

OP are you old enough to watch Transformers? That post is a digital form of schoolyard bragging
"I got to watch the film, and then I got to go on the radio"

You remind me of the little boy in that StenaLine ad I hate
"It went weally fast and I got to watch cartoons and I got to meet Curious George" :rolleyes:

PS Most people who listen to Spin FM aren't old enough to see the new Transformers.

gandhi123 · 16-06-2009 01:50AM

Yes i'm old enough... Everybody brags now and then:rolleyes:

Wasn't my choice to be listen to it, i was in my mates car. I just texted in for a laugh... didn't think they'd actual reply...:o

OP you say that you're not reatarded but boasting about being on spin fm is pretty damned retarded. Also your bragging about seeing either a press screening or print test is not really all that worthy of bragging rights.

Pretty much every one at some stage or another gets to see a film before the general public, why I could tell you all about the tiem I watched a preview of Grindhouse while sitting ebside Robert Rodriguez or the time I went drinking with Thomas Jane and Josh Lucas and then slept on Jane's hotel floor. Both feets which are substantially more brag worthy than yours.

The fact that it was spin doesn't matter.. it was just cool to be radio..

"Pretty much every one at some stage or another gets to see a film before the general public" Doubt that...

So you've never "bragged" to anyone about them two instances??
Bollocks!!!

Very Subtle on the Names Drops, Yeah?

I wonder how could I get to be on the radio? Could I perhaps ring up Joe Duffy or simply ring into any of the countless radio shows out there all of which take listener call ins lvie.

There's nothing special about seeing a film a few days before it release. Now if it was a premier with the cast and crew there then it's boast worthy. Your thrilling experience is not.

If you read my post you would see that nowhere do I say that I did'nt boast about it I merely said that it was a far mroe impressive boast thatn your pathetic attempt at boasting. I was'nt trying to be subtle with the name drops and if you want I can give you some more.

Lets see, I attended Eli Roth's Halloween party a few years back. I had a drink with lloyd Kaufman, Gillian Anderson kissed my cheek. I drank with Robert Carlyle and James franco. I've met Kiera Knightly who also kissed me.

You want some more boast worthy examples of experiences I have had op?

Again, seeing one of the most anticipated films of the year doesn't happen everyday.

I didn't mean on boards, just in general.

More?? i never asked in the first place and it Seems like your doing enough of that yourself.

Lets see. E from the Eels peed on my shoe in urinal one night and after apologising we got talkign for awhile about the gig. he asked me my favourite Eels song and later that night dedicated the song to me. I met James Hetfield and he laughed when I compared Lars to Golllum. My cousin was a writer on friends and is married to a very successful sitcom actress. He has also done uncredited rewrites on films such as Armageddon.I spent time with Terry George and John Maybury discussing film. I once got into an arguement with Zachrey Quinto where I repeatedly insisted that he was the dude from 24, I was quite drunk at the time. I also argued with Adrian Brody over who the most attractive female actress was. Michael Dudikoff called me a true inspiration to any wannabe film maker. I have had long email conversations with Jeff Burr and Robert Kurtzman. Rob Zombie once rang my house to apologise for not being able to do an email interview with me as he had jsut signed on for Hlloween 2.

There's more but I think that will suffice for now.

I did meet him once but I had no idea who he was and was kinda distraced by some shiny objects. Plus meeting Joe Dufffy is hardly boast worthy.

It's not that big a deal. movies.ie regulary screen films in advance of their opening and most of them are highly anticipated films such as Star Trek and Iron Man.

I'll compile a full list and pm it to you in the morning. That way we can share our experiences and become closer as a result.

gandhi123 wrote: »

But you way you worded you post it seemed to imply that I had somewhere said that I had never boasted about them.

Just thought of one more. During the Galway film fleadh last year a friend had Bill Pullman ring me and he asked to hear me reciete the presidents speech from Independence Day. I did hang up on him the first time convinced it was jsut a friend messing.
