Meh, average flicks but still the last I actually had a look at the movie tent they were showing Transporter 3 so it's a slight improvement.

21 Jump Street

This surprises me. There is always something really cool playing. Not this year.

Might go and see Chronicle maybe.

What have they shown in previous years? The only flicks I can remember them showing were Iron Man, Transporter 3 & Death Race.

I wished they did stuff like at The Prince Charles Cinema where they will show movies like South Park, Blues Brothers & Big Lebowski with quote/sing/swear alongs and would lend it self to drinking games well.

I wonder how they decide that Leeds gets The Dark Knight and Borat while Reading gets 21 Jump Street and Chronicle.

[Vieuphoria]

Because Leeds get's every motherfucking thing.

Why does leeds get it on thursday to? Reading really does get a bit of a shaft from FR

[Avens]

They showed Team America one year and it was one of the highlights of my festival. Loads of people singing along, booing Kim Jong Ill...it was like a panto, great fun!

TO be fair... Reading punters do get shafted in comparison.

[mrtourette]

Sure, but not necessarily by FR. More by circumstance.

Why don't they just move it to out of the city centre? Where festivals should be anyway,

[Lewis Cato]

It'd be far too much effort than what it's worth to move site.

[mrtourette]

Tradition and part of the USP.

The only time I've bothered going to the cinema tent was when they showed Team America one year. Was absolutely bloody brilliant. You could hear the crowd singing along from the campsite.

I've never been to a cinema tent at a fsetival, although every time I go to an ATP I consider it with some of the cool ones they're showing, but end up checking out some random cool band instead.

Because ....

If FR didn't own the site (which they only bought around 5 years ago), then someone else would set up a competing festival on that site.

Melvin knows this very very well - because that's precisely the sort of trickery that Mean Fiddler (not sure if Melvin was there at the time) used to end up getting ownership of the festival in the first place.

Bit of a stupid question but where the hell is the cinema tent?! i've never come across it in previous years

[mrtourette]

Lock Up.
