[HPFGU-Movie] RE: Losing COS at my local theater on the 24th

[TACtalk at adelanta.co.uk]

I have just returned from seeing it again. I chose the 5.45 p.m. showing,
hoping that it wouldn't be too busy (after the matinee crowd, before the
evening rush). No chance. The cinema was *full*; I only got in because they
had two premium seats left...double the cost, but worth it for an
uninterrupted show (no one in your line of sight, no one squeezing past to
take kids to the toilet).

I am starting to see posters for CoS...the only ones around at the time of
the release were on the local buses. I suppose that they are working hard
for the Christmas crowd, and against Lord of the Rings in particular. Good
strategy. I also saw a commercial for CoS on TV for the first time the
other day. Granted, I don't watch much TV, but again I decided that it's a
new campaign to prolong the run.

My Christmas present to myself was the CD of the CoS soundtrack...I like
Fawkes's theme, but what I really bought it for were the two trailers on
the accompanying CD-Rom. They will tide me over the lean period once CoS
leaves the cinema and before it arrives on video!

Nicholas
