The inaugural gathering of the "OFMC" happens tonight - Watchmen @ the Turmpalast, 19.30 screening, followed by (prob'ly) a swift, cheap & cheerful sizzling steak at Maredo Goetheplatz/Haputwache.

Currently just yours truly and Leafsfan - we'll be outside the Turmpalast @ 19.20; if you don't already know us, you'll recognise us by our stout demeanour and goatees.

Später!

A grand total of just the two of us turned up for the inaugural OFMC - and it was well worth it. Although Watchmen may not be everyone's cup of tea, if you've read the graphic novel, you won't be disappointed (although they have changed the denouement somewhat*) - and Leafsfan (who had not read Watchmen ahead of seeing the fil-um) totally enjoyed it too. In fact, 'pon discussion of when the DVD release might be, he said "probably a good reason to buy a Blu-Ray player". So there you go: high praise indeed.

Steaks were eaten @ Maredo: they were yummy.

Next OFMC some time in April. Post suggestions of what to go and see in this 'ere thread.

*not to the detriment of the narrative, IMO - so well done to the screenwriters

Cool, I'll be keeping on eye out for it! Sorry I couldn't make this one.
Kuzzer
See what the rest of TT is saying about Watchmen.

I won't be able to make it in April as I'm away the whole time but I'll keep an eye out for the May one
macone
sounds good...will come along to the next one if I am around

So how about the preview of the new Star Trek movie (be warned: website is a Flash uber-nightmare) on Wednesday 6th May at the always-a-pleasure Turmpalast?

Tickets not yet on sale...I think we'll have to pre-purchase as there will be significant demand for this one, and turning up on the night is probably not an option.

Yes/No?

I'd love to, but I'll be watching it in a state-of-the-art, digital projection theatre with stadium seating that night.

Galaxy Cinema, Waterloo, Canada

Hopefully I can make it out to the next one!

Correction: I'll be watching it in the aforementioned super-cinema in *June*, so the May date should work for me!

Count me in!
cairnterrier
Sounds like fun to me too, count me in!

Tickets for the Star Trek Prequel preview go on sale tomorrow...

Any more takers?

ume
Yes, count me too. I guess the movie is in English.

I just moved to Frankfurt. How does it work here? We buy our own tickets and meet-up on the movie time?
danish
Hey..count me in too...I assume this is the 7:30 pm show on 6th May! see ya..!
cairnterrier
Hi ume,
Yes it's in English - the Turmpalast shows 'OV' (Original Version) movies, so normally in their original format (good to keep in mind, but keep your expectations low of the Theatre itself) and yes to buying your Tix and we will meet at the designated time. Probably worth buying in advance to avoid disappointment and come early, the seating is unreserved...

@Cairnterrier is bang on re. buying the tickets in advance - the link is here again for convenience - just click on the red Tickets Online link to buy your ticket

@Danish - close, but no cigar - it's the 20.30 showing (not 19.30) :¬)
