Secret Cinema anyone else going?

It was Bladerunner in some warehouse in the city.
I didn't even need to see the film - could have happily hung out with the extras in the bar area- the set was fantastic.

But the next one is getting on my nerves because I can't work out what it is at all and am a bit worried my mate has bought me a £27 ticket to see Lawrence of Arabia

Let me know how it turns out.

 

[vauxhallmum]

Anyone else going tomorrow? I've got my bedouin tribeswoman outfit but for some reason I look like an ageing hooker. Don't know how that happened.

I was really confused on my way home yesterday - massive crowd of arabians outside the tube

 

[vauxhallmum]

God that was awful. you were right, onket. Overpriced and annoying. And ALL NIGHT BLOODY LONG.
Bah.

 

[temper_tantrum]

What happened, what was it, what went on?! I'm curious

 

[vauxhallmum]

It's still going on so would probably be mean of me to say- but it's a reeeallly long film set in the desert, enough said.
It was almost quite fun waiting to go in- lots of extras on horseback improvising their thespian socks off. But then once inside, well, Ally Pally just can't be made to look like a bedouin tent, whatever you do. With the Blade Runner one the market seemed so much part of the atmosphere of the film that it was great fun - but this one (a kind of souk) just felt let more opportunities to part you from your money.
Then after waiting an eternity- we all had to put blankets/cushions down on the concrete floor to watch the film. It would have been OK but it was so crowded that there was NO WAY OUT without pissing off the people next to you and walking all over their legs and stuff.
And the sound and shit. And moan moan moan never again grumble grumble.....

 

[vauxhallmum]

Feel like a proper curmudgeon now. Bollocks.

 

[feyr]

what film was it? i was meant to go then over slept and missed the train and my friends who did make it are out drinking and not very coherent

 

[vauxhallmum]

Lawrence of Arabia. zzzzzzz

 

[temper_tantrum]

I suspected that'd be it ... quite glad I didn't shell out for it, tbh
Sorry to hear it wasn't great, btw, VM.

God that was awful. you were right, onket. Overpriced and annoying. And ALL NIGHT BLOODY LONG.
Bah.

Easily the worst SC to date by a long way. Not a patch on Alien, Bugsy Malone or Wings of Desire.

Food was overpriced, crap and had a massive queue on Friday night...then I left so I could actually get home without shelling out £30 on a cab.
