LoL! I've just seen a piece on the TV show WATCHDOG about SKYFALL.... Not a complaint about the movie, but about the VUE Cinema chain. Apparently- when tickets for SKYFALL went on sale, the demand was so great that the VUE website crashed and a lot of customers were charged twice!

    I'd heard of the Vue website crashing but being charged twice is a big balls up! Shocking, really, how a chain that big can get so much wrong.

    Note to anyone in the Midlands:

    The Big Screen attached to The Think Tank is not an Imax venue - they don't make this clear and conned about 500 Bond fans who all grumbled about it when I went last Sat.

    I'm going to Cineworld Broad Street to watch Skyfall again - this venue is IMAX.

    I'm going to email Watchdog about The Big Screen.

    Very sensible. I've tried to book Skyfall via the Odeon website and it just keeps crashing. In the end managed to book tickets for IMAX showing tomorrow by automated phone booking line! It seems it's never easy to do something that should be so easy! Still I'm getting to watch tomorrow night and can't wait!
