Well - that was fun! (no, it really was fun!) I had a ticket for a preview of a movie called 500 days of Summer; a rom-com, which, mainly because it features Zooey Deschanel, I was really looking forward to seeing.
Now, it's not uncommon for me to be rushing to get to these seefilmfirst showings, because they're always at 6:30 PM and my time-keeping is abysmal, but for once I was there in plenty of time, and what happens? It gets cancelled!
All was not lost however - in recompense, the Odeon gave everyone a free ticket for anything else, which, considering it was going to be free in the first place, was pretty amazing of them.
A couple of weeks ago I missed out on the chance to see a preview of Inglourious Basterds, the new Quentin Tarantino movie, and, what do you know - it was one of the options... SCORE!
I'm just back from seeing it and, let me tell you, if you're a fan of QT's previous work, you'll love this, it's brutal, it's comic and for the most part, the bad guys get what they deserve. If you have two and a half hours to kill - and I do mean kill - I heartily recommend it!
As for Miss Deschanel, maybe she'll reschedule, maybe she'll get lucky and I'll go and see her... we'll see (it doesn't do to come across too needy, does it?)
