Eeep!!!! For the Friday Tuttle on 19th December, our friends at the ICA are giving us a special gift of a screening of our favourite movie: Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”!
It will start promptly at 10.15 so we should be done by 1pm in time for some lunch (don’t worry, we’ll be going for the original cut, not the “happy ending” US version…). I‘ll have put up a sign-up list on the wiki to keep an eye on how many are planning to come. I’d be surprised if we reach the capacity of the cinema (185) but I’ve given up trying to predict these things.
If you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat.
I’m so excited! It’s going to be brilliant
Thank you and big up to the ICA!!
Fantastic – do they do popcorn?
I am in like Errol Flynn.. I <3 Brazil.
Haven’t seen it in years (should be on a tape somewhere around here…) so will try adding it to my diary *now* and hopefully actually make it!
Shouldn’t we all be WORKING at 10.15 on a Friday? Or is that just the old protestant work ethic nagging at me?
Neil, erm…. yes and no.
First off, I’d argue that what we are doing that Friday and indeed every Friday at Tuttle *is* working. I believe it is a fundamental part of any knowledge worker’s job to maintain and enrich their network through face to face contact with a wide variety of people – sharing a social object like a movie is a great way of building that up. That’s why I do Tuttle, not just because I want to skive off on a Friday morning. So yes, we should be working and so we are.
Secondly, we are talking about the last Friday before Christmas. Several large organisations will either be having parties on the night before or on the Friday. From my experience of working in such organisations, I’d suggest that the morning of Friday 19th December will be one of the least productive of the whole year. So no, why should we be “working” so hard when everyone else is hanging around the water cooler, hungover or else chatting about which ear-rings they’re wearing tonight.
So there, nya-nya-nya we’re going to the pictures!
So so so so tempting. I need an excuse for a day in London so I might just give myself the day off and come along! Might even watch Time Bandits on the train as a warm up!
You’ve made me love you even more for doing this.
Oh! Buggery. I’ve just been booked for that day and won’t be in London. Balls balls balls. Grrrrrr! What a brilliant, brilliant event though, Lloyd! Well done!
Excellent. Never seen it in it’s entirety.. Looking forward to it.
