Here's a possibly contentious question:

Would you do 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 4-5-6-1-2-3 ?

I'm inclined to think the latter, cos 1-6 would kinda ruin the surprise about Luke's parentage

**Shannow** · 31st August 2006, 3:24am

I've always held that it should be 4, 5 up till the 'revalation scene', then 1,2,3 as a flashback, ending of 5, then 6.

A tough call, indeed this is.

ooh, interesting.

I'm remembering your comments about timing of a certain activity in relation to the explosion of the death star: it would be a feat indeed to go from, say, the medal ceremony in IV til the explosion of the second death star, using your suggested sequence!

What it comes down to is what is the bigger plot twist in your mind? The main hero becoming the main villain? Or the main hero being the son of the main villain?

Do you have to be a student there or summat? The LOTR trilogy sounds damn good to me, wouldn't mind doing this.

So long as you can get someone to sign you in (someone you know, not just any random) then you can come in after 6pm. Before 6pm (monday - friday), the building is open for all access to the main areas.

Hey! You should use spoiler tags for stuff like that!

(I'm only sort of kidding; a year ago Triggerhappy had never seen any of the films!)

The contracts the QM holds, or did hold but probably still do as not many companys provide this service, is with Filmbank and the BFI who provide video and DVD rentals and the license to show these publically. The BFI can do reel to reel rental however given that most places that show reel to reel films have contracts with major distributors its not a widely used service. As a result the selection tends to be somewhat poor.

Filmbank selection has improved somewhat, over the past few years apparently

Filmbank always had a decent selection and the staff were always willing to discuss films when you were stuck for a double bill idea...

The BFI are a bit crap...

However I don't even know if Filmbank do reel to reel rental (which was the original question)

I've only seen one of them, and only knew half of that!
