Ooh great - i'm guessing that there are two screenings, so we choose which film we want to see?

[buggie]

I'm thinking Love and other drugs... apparently the Focker's one isn't v good (and doesn't have Jake Gyllenhaal in the buff!!!:))) Do you think tickets need booking in advance?

[anna_r]

I'm definitely up for this! Would be good to get a reasonable number along so they carry on doing it. I was thinking love and other drugs too as although I liked the other fockers films I think the jokes are wearing thin. May have to check which is shorter though as I remember when going to see a film with first daughter it seeming to drag on towards the end as her patience wore out...if only I could take my glider chair into the cinema and sit and rock with her. Shed be happy for hours! :)

[bluesuperted]

Let's smuggle the chair in Anna! I think Love... too, I like the Focker films too but even the trailer isn't funny this time... Yay, film and cake!

[lucyar]

Oh rubbish I have to register DD at 12:(

[ladywotlunches]

And I'll have my 4 year old as he's only doing 1/2 days at school settling in this week and next. And the following week I'm busy. But I'll be there first week of Feb (if its on each week?)!!!

[The Nappy Lady]

....pah, so sad this has all come to pass after my youngest has turned 2....:-S ...hmmmm now whose baby could I take along with me I wonder??? ::o ;-)

Enjoy it ladies, I think a bag of popcorn to help the cake along is essential.

Anyone want to swap a cuddly newborn with a mad nearly 2 year old?! Thought not!!

[snowboarder]

Come spring if I can get someone to look after mad 2 yr old I will be there. Actually maybe we could take turns - am happy to hire out baby too....

[Cel]

Cool!!:))

Will go with baby Aiden (3 months)

Hopefully he will behave...

[Cel]

Hey girls!

What did you think of the movie?

It was so bad I left before the end...

I am so happy someone screamed "Black Swan" lol, I really want to see this one.:))

[anna_r]

We chose little fockers in the end based on it being 15 minutes shorter! It was a silly film but it was so fun to be at the cinema again and all the babies coped very well. The manager came in at the beginning and they seem very open to feedback re films to show, timings etc. Kings speech in two weeks. Next week they're showing 127 hours and The Next Three Days. There was a decent crowd there I thought for the first time, although I think most went for the Jake Gyllenhaal choice, for some reason! :)

[Cel]

Yes I went to see Love and other Drugs. I liked Jake and the fact that he was half naked most of the time but i found the movie quite boring and too much sex, its not appropriate for baby. At 3 months he is too young to watch that lol

[radnrach]

I'm planning on venturing out to the baby screening tomorrow morning for my first ever baby cinema experience and have a couple obvious questions for people who have been before...

Do you take your pram in with you? Do you just breastfeed there and then when needed? What if baby cries, do you whisk them straight out? Does your baby get bored just sitting around in a dark room?

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

[pripolla]

Isn't it on Thursday morning???

[radnrach]

I think they have a few now - the website says they have showings Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday at 11:30am for babies. I might be wrong, maybe I'll give them a call.

[bobby's bear]

My baby is 4 months and loves the cinema, she is transfixed by the big screan and all the noise and usually sleeps better than at home! Everyone merrily breastfeeds away in the cinema and you don't have to take the baby out if it cries, that is kind of the point of the baby only showings I think. Often at the one in Brixton the aisles are packed with crying babies being rocked!

Prams are parked outside the screen so I find a sling easier.

As far as I am aware watch with baby is only on thurs at peckham unless they have changed it this week, and it is on a friday at the Ritzy in Brixton.

[radnrach]

Yep, just called and you're right, it's only Thursdays. Looks like I'll be watching The King's Speech in Brixton instead!

Thanks for the info, bobby's bear - sounds lovely, really. can't wait!

[Vik]

I am desperate to see Harry Potter - everyone else in the house has seen it except me and 'Wee Vik' (14 weeks) really hope they show it!

[radnrach]

Me, too, Vik. I think they're showing it next week. i *think*!

[Vik]

Ooh i really hope so - will deffo be there if they are!
