I'm giving myself (almost) a whole night off tonight so am hitting the cinema . . . .

Any recommendations ?

Is that new Michael Caine film any good . . . what about that 2012 one ?

Yes. British Gran Torino.

Quoting: Roadkill

what about that 2012

Not seen it yet. Probably just a big special effects film.

Probably go and see Men That Stare At Goats Tonight @ 20:30.
2012 will still be uber busy.

If movie times match up fancy grabbing a pint at the Spoon?

I have heard a few people saying the 2012 one is good, but I think the trailers make it look special effects good, story rubbish.... BUT, i am a skeptic on the whole Nostradamus 'the sun will line up with the galaxy on dec 21st, BOOM' thing so I will give it a miss as I can't buy into the story.

The Caine one 'Harry Brown' sounds ok, think I'll wait for it to come to movie channel mind

Apart from that, I think the rest look shit too TBH

2012 is based on Mayan predictions.

Yes. British Gran Torino.

Ahh, guessed as much, I was hoping we could do better than that . . .

That's exactly what I thought hence the question . . .

Both predict 2012, but I was under the impression this film is about the Aquarius astrology star lines up with his bow and arrow.... or something like that!

Either way, I will see you all here in 2013

Oh, right.

I remember reading about the Mayans and seeing a date 5th May 2012 but that was probably about 15 years ago !

I don't know about Mayans, I only know about Nostradamus, But he claims Dec 21st, 2012..... I just presumed that was what the film was about, but now I believe you are right about Mayans....

Either way, I will be doing my xmas shopping that year on the 22nd Dec, I don't wan't to waste the day dying doing something pointless

Have you seen Up! yet? If it's still on it's very much worth seeing.

No. I'll check to see if it's still on . . . . scratch that. I can't - that website's blocked.

I do my Christmas shopping on the 24th December so it shouldn't effect me either way.

2012

a m8 described it as a Cross between "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Waterworld"

Up! is only on at 4pm and the 3d version is on at 17:50

Harry Brown is on at 19:10 and 21:40

A Christmas Carol 3d is on at 17:40 19:00 and 20:10

Wouldn't mind seeing A Chistmas Carol - Ian we planning on going out as well? (If Dean & Sammy don't mind us tagging along

)

Roadkill · « **Reply #15 on:** November 17, 2009, 03:35:10 pm »

I point blank refuse to watch (another version of) "A Christmas Carol".

Looks like it's Harry Brown or 2012 . . . . .

2012 is on at 19:20 20:00 and 21:00

Abu said 2012 was ok but long...

Went to see Men who stare at goats with the wife last week. (she's a clooney fan)

Spend two hours counting the tufts in your carpet or the number of bricks in your neighbours gable end; or perhaps just sit quietly and try to remember every time you've ever blinked - I promise you it will be much more entertaining than wasting £15 on sitting in front of a giant screen watching this crap.

I bet it won't be appearing on his cv anytime soon.

It was different, not the worst film I've seen this Month (Jeniffers Body) but still pretty dull.

Still It least I didn't pay. £15?

I pay £13 a month and watch as many films as I want....wish they did a similar deal with the Nacho's
