A very jolly screening indeed, marred only by a single annoying person sitting behind me who felt each film needed it’s own special commentary.
This was fortunately balanced out by good company and several glasses of a very nice Californian red.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this screening as I was at another film screening, for The Changeling. Which, by the way, is a fantastic movie, if a little dragged out and slightly depressing. I’m glad to know the Kodak screening was very jolly.
