    Re: They Shall Not Grow Old - Peter Jackson

    I'm going to take a look at that. It could be a very important film. At an age where most of us simply can't remember, because we weren't there, this can help us learn and 'remember' at least a small part.

    Maybe worth going anyway in case of cancellations - or see if they have a cancellations list?

    If it was the local cinema, maybe, but the most local cinema showing it is a 20 minute drive.

    Suggest an additional showing? If they get interest they might add one extra? It's worth asking, they can only say no....

    Maybe even reach out to local media - an important film, they might be interested in seeing if others are interested, raise awareness - lots of people might be unaware of it, and via that get extra showings?

    I found another cinema that I have never been to that is 25 minutes the other direction. Seems all cinemas are doing this at 6pm so I guess it is some sort of streaming event. Over £20 per ticket though, including parking it is going to be £100 to take a family of 4, double what I was thinking so I will have to pass.

    I'm sure it will be out on blu-ray.

    Re: They Shall Not Grow Old - Peter Jackson

    this brings an interesting question to light...

    it's a one day only showing... so what will Peter Jackson do with it after that?

    Blueray for charity?
    Free on Youtube?

    Really looking forward to seeing this.

    Will be shown on the BBC in November, and will also be available on Iplayer.
