ahunter Admin 14-11-2007, 11:50: Hi there,

We are planning a trip to the Grindel to see Lions for Lambs tomorrow night. Here is the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPCbOqiVKfo. It’s in english with no subtitles.

So far we have about 4 of us. Should be lots of fun! I’m going to try and book tickets this evening so let me know if you are up for coming :)

Liron Admin 14-11-2007, 13:16: I would have loved to come, unfortunately I have the mother of all exams on Friday, and must stay home and study.
Phil Chambers Admin 14-11-2007, 13:39: some choice comments from imdb:

Awful is too harsh a word for this unappetizing mess, but it is certainly a train wreck of a movie. Other adjectives come to mind-- “didactic” will be used in about half of professional reviews. “Unfortunate” is another, which is a kind way of saying “bad”.

“Lions for Lambs” just might possibly be one of the most boring films ever made.

Anything else on?!
ahunter Admin 14-11-2007, 15:58: Yup. A few others.

- American Gangster
- Beowulf
- King of California

I think American Gangster is our winner. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765429/ This one starts at 1930
Kittles Admin 14-11-2007, 19:23: Hey those four people include me and sophie right??
good that other people are coming along…plus we plan to stop in at pony bar and draw us a few horns on the ponies.

Lets watch something else besides Lions for lambs as I’m not a fan of tom crusie since the last decade.
ahunter Admin 15-11-2007, 14:12: Yup.

So we have Phil, Alii, Kittles, Sophie, Andrew and possibly stephanie. There are loads of seats so we don’t need to book.

Phil and I have German lessons until 7.30pm, so shall we aim to meet at 7.40pm? Films at the Grindel have loads of ads so i can’t see the film starting until 8pm.
Kittles Admin 15-11-2007, 14:26: oh no… your one of those people are you… everytime someone say oh don’t worry it won’t actually start for ages cause theres loads of ads… you end up missing the first bit of the movie…

lol
ahunter Admin 15-11-2007, 14:29: Ok, ok…. we promise to be there as quickly as possible. If we miss the beginning of the movie i will buy you some skittles kittles.
Kittles Admin 15-11-2007, 14:31: cool!

Have we voted on what to watch yet?
ahunter Admin 15-11-2007, 14:34: American Gangster by default. Much better reviews than any other film.

Sooffietje 15-11-2007, 15:45: Sounds fun! Good actors..probably good movie.
My roommate Anna is coming as well, considering we haven´t made reservations that won´t be a problem I guess..
See you at 19.40!
