Has anyone seen this yet?
I`m starting to get p***ed off that it`s not been shown in any cinemas that I can go to and it`s been on release for 3weeks so far.
It`s up for an Oscar for f***s sake!
I`ve been waiting assuming the Cineworlds in Llandudno and Liverpool would be showing it the next week but it`s still not being shown and I`ve now looked and the Odeon and the Fact (a bit of a specialist cinema) and still not being shown.
>:(

Tell me about it. Not at Bristol Cineworld either. I did go and see No Country tonight, but I have far more interest in seeing Anderson`s latest. It`s like they want me to download...
It`s showing at Middlesbrough Cineworld but only 3 showings a day (12:45, 16:45 and 20:00) with similar times at the Showcase at Teeside Park. There should be more showings on more screens. I`m disappointed that nowhere is showing The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

My Cineworld is showing it. Amazing film too, tempted to say better than No Country For Old Men but both are brilliant.
There Will Be Blood deserves to be seen in a cinema, but then so did Assassination of Jesse James... but I missed that one and had to settle for DVD. Diving Bell as well I missed, but will be watching that tonight ;)
The Odeon in Wrexham is apalling. I go to Vue in Cheshire Oaks all the time now, especially since it`s only about 40p dearer (Odeon used to be £3 odd when it first opened here 10 years ago, now it`s £6.50 for normal seats - the mrs and me go and could have bought several films on dvd for the price!)
The amount of times the Odeon has shown posters and trailers for films for months only then to not show them. Not even niche stuff either, mainstream comedies like Zoolander, Deuce Bigalow, Walk Hard etc didn`t get shown despite having 7 screens. I`m surprised they showed Juno to be honest.
The best one has got to be the sweets prices though. I normally go to sainsburys but was shut so had to get a bottle of water. £2.50 for 750ml! What really took the p*** though was seeing you could buy exactly the same water from wilkinsons the next day - a litre for 39p!
DVD/downloading is sometimes the only way to go sadly

It`s a crazy situation. Living in London, you can catch most films on the big screen, but even something like the amazing There Will Be Blood will disappear after a week or two.
I went to Cineworld Trocadero last week, and a bag of popcorn (one of the cheapest foodstuffs known to man) and some truly bad nachos (as a crisp fanatic I`m hard NOT to please, but there were awful, and don`t even mention the `salsa`), plus a hot dog was £14. £14! I usually stock up at a local shop first, but I was with friends who were hungry, and went straight from work. The tickets were £9.50 each!
Cinames are going to shrink and disappear at this rate. Like most of us here I assume, I like to see a film on the big screen, but the costs are getting out of control. I personally don`t bother with downloads, screeners etc., when the real DVD goes so cheap so quick these days. Cinema is now an occasional visit for me for `big screen` flicks like There Will Be Blood - which I think will suffer in the front room on a telly.
Next week`s times are up and it`s still not on in both Liverpool and Llandudno. >:(
F***ing joke. Although National Treasure : Book of Secrets is still on >:(
Looks like I`m going to have to download if I want to see it.
I can`t comprehend the thinking. I could kind of understand if they thought they would wait until after the Oscars, as it`s the type of film that may need that kind of hype to get people to go see it.
But even after Daniel Day-Lewis winning Best Actor it`s still not on.
Why not have one showing a day? Why not even show it once a week?
Edit- I`ve emailed cineworld questioning this, but doubt I will get any kind of response.

The best one was the Odeon not showing some new films a few years back, yet still showing LOTR over 5 months after it`s release.
Surely they would have made more money from a new film!?
The cinemas will blame downloads piracy etc for the decrease in people going to the cinema, ignoring the fact that their rip off entrance fees, confectionary and constantly increasing number of pre-film adverts have nothing to do with it.
How can the ads go up AND the price :s

I emailed `em days ago and got nothing. No change there then.
