Well, they were both in the afternoon anyway.
I kind of like going during the day now I live in the subtropics... the air con is very pleasant!
Holly is mad about films! She also runs her local film society and attends and contributes to other film festivals as well as this year having run a film component for the Noosa Longweekend arts festival. She also has a full time job.
I don't know about getting the DVD. I have a very good cinema service round Brisbane with 3 independent multi-screen centres as well as the chains, at least one of which likes to show Bollywood for extended seasons.
I like the sensation of the cinema size screen and sound which are pretty impossible to realistically copy at home. I'll give up the convenience of home screenings for most of the time as I top up with a few movie channels on satellite.
You can become a member of each independent here for $12Au.. say $9 US a year and then its only $9.50/$7.00 a ticket. At the moment my favourite cinema is running a members' 2-4-1 ticket offer which is unbeatable. Apart from when I wander in to an afternoon midweek session and because I go a lot, I often just get comped up.
Then there is the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF) each July and the related World Movie Club ($60 a year and free entry to films, last week a preview and discussion of Road To Guantanamo, this week advance screening of Black Dahlia)) and I am kept pretty happy!!!
