Bookings essential."

There's not much else I can say, except that I can't get there, then.

kid

I think I might see if I can grab some tickets at lunch time today. Which means I'll probably end up with a couple spare. Will keep everyone posted

...the question is, how would I find out if it's the actual movie, or just bits and pieces ?

I have a strange feeling that this is likely to be one of those things they put bonus on the DVD

I wouldn't even know where to find out for sure...

Whatever it is, it's more than the rest of us will be seeing...

and $4 for a Q & A with Robbie Stamp is alright

I trust you'll be putting a full report on this thread...

Rest assured

(I have some tickets spare if anyone wants in..??)

Outstanding!

Absolutely!

Robbie proved to be a brilliant presenter. He enticed us into his world on film, delighted and excited us and allayed our fears that this would be another blasphemous Hollywood destruction of a beloved icon.

It is apparent that the film is a labour of love and has been carried through in the true spirit of DNA. I must admit that first sight of the film Marvin had left me cold, but no longer - the obvious evolution of the work by Douglas is clear.

Robbie also shared some great insights into the man himself, and we left feeling that we knew him better than before.

In short;

This film is not going to be great, it is not going to be amazing.
It will be amazingly amazing.

Roll on April 28th.

I don't think I could've said it any better myself

Does anyone know when the movie is likely to be visible from NZ?

Isn't it meant to be released the same date worldwide?

Don't know I've seen an advert for 28th April, but I think that was Australia.

I think everyone else is getting it the day after ?

Worldwide release is April 29th. Australia (and I assume NZ) get it on the 28th.

And I have the T-shirt to prove it.

Whoopee!!!

The t-shirt ?

i might have to go and see it on Thursday morning just to piss off all those northern hemisphere types
