On another note for the distribution company i work for we've also held social media screenings (Wendy and Lucy was our last one and yes the film is going up against Watchmen this friday - although we are in a completely different league in terms of release size) and I agree on point 2 - I really hate having to say 'you can go to this special screening'. But at least I rest easy knowing that our bloggers/ social media screenings are more fun, social and better catered for our press shows and given the choice I know where I'd rather be :) Thanks again for the screening- as you say again Watchmen is a film where everyone wants their own opinion.

You're really onto something here. I'm continually impressed with the ways you're able to innovate with marketing in a world where the only numbers that matter in any direction are in the millions, be it box office receipts or numbers of people connected with via a marketing campaign. It's infinitely easier for me to be rethinking music marketing when I have my own music to experiment with. It's a whole other thing to do that with massive budget mainstream release films. And for that, I salute you, many times over. :) Thanks so much for inviting me - I hope I get to come again next time! Steve Dan,

However, in its own way, and however efficiently London Transport plumb it into our capital's many-tendrilled mass transit system, for this Londoner at least Chiswick will always be in the middle of fucking nowhere. Glad you had fun. Look forward to the next one.

Chiswick is not the middle of nowhere, it has excellent transport links ;) Thanks for organising this, it was a fun morning. I object!
