It was a great evening. The theatre attendants were wearing cool fezzes, there were Tom Baker scarves everywhere, young lads with bow-ties and slicked hair did their best Eleventh Doctor impersonations, giggling teenage girls dressed up as Amy Pond skipped about together in groups, and sonic screwdrivers were wielded with impunity. All age groups were represented. Inside, the atmosphere was good-natured, and once the movie got going, and it became apparent there were going to be plenty of in jokes to reward the faithful, and everyone realised it was going to be FUN, the audience bonded and it became a true Event.
You just don't get many of those.

My brother lined up at Northland, where four cinemas were showing it at the same time, and couldn't get in.
Wow. Poor him. I read in the papers during the week that cinemas everywhere were overwhelmed. I reckon there must be a lot of movie house managers still banging their heads against walls as they wonder how much money they missed out on by not properly anticipating this trend and setting aside enough cinema space. I mean, our complex gave one of their 2 biggest screens to that poorly attended Jackass movie while potential audience members were begging to be allowed to throw $$$ at them for a Dr Who spot. A lot of people who are full of spin and jargon got their numbers very wrong with this event.
