Where will you see QoS?

For Londoners, Odeon Leicester Square is the traditional choice. However, the 02 Vue in North Greenwich is actually a larger screen (Screen 11) and the stalls have a nice gradient allowing a good view of it, unlike in Odeon LS. So I might go there instead, though I doubt the atmosphere will be quite the same.
Other nifty London venues include Notting Hill Coronet, a really lovely old theatre with red seating and gilt. Sound quality not so great near the front though, as I found when I saw Indy IV there.

How about you?

Plus, there are joints nearby who are more than capable of serving up a satisfactory vodka martini---a long-standing Opening Bond Day tradition...I suspect that my BonditicalTM party rival (and friend) Tee Hee will accompany the three Loeff boys...

Assuming that I don't go to the premier, I will walk up to my local cinema - The Clapham Picture House. This is where I saw CR in 2006. A lovely cinema with a good sized screen, although not as big compared to O2 or Leicester Sq.
After this first screening I will doubltess go to Leicester Sq one Saturday and see it again! I intend to have seen QOS five times by Christmas!!!

If any Londoners want me to email them a pic of the O2 (though it's very hi-res) you can PM me.

*In Australia films are released on a Thursday, however I dislike seeing films on opening day, for reasons that Tony can emphasise with.
We've got a state-of-the-art 12-screen multiplex, on the Western-most (still developing) side of town, with stadium seating and all the proper accoutrements. I'm sure to see it at least once there as well.

This bemuses me too. I'd have thought the best part of a Bond is enjoying with an audience into the big atmosphere, laughing at jokes you might not otherwise notice. Maybe it's the influence of the DVD generation.
Solitary pleasures, eh?

I know I like waiting a week or two because some people are downright rude. Cell phones are left on and usually ring, parents couldn't find a babysitter so they bring "Jr" with them and then let the audience babysit. I'll probably go to a mid-week showing, between 10am and 3pm, that way the high school kids are in school, the working people are working. I'll get the calm senior citizen crowd, they know how to enjoy a movie.
I recently saw Pineapple Express and there was a couple behind me who seemed to believe that repeating lines and laughing so loud that everybody can hear them is acceptable social behaviour. Additionally several people left and reentered the theatre several times, and so it was not a such an completely pleasant experience. When I saw The Dark Knight, it was even worst.
That's why I don't like to see films on opening day. However I can't wait longer than that, so I will be seeing QOS on the Saturday night of the week of release. I do this for all the films (Bond, Die Hard 4.0, Terminator 3, Scorsese films, Eastwood films etc...) that are truly important to me.
Ooh, I didn't know it was been shown early there, I'm likely to attend too, I've visited to cinema itself beforehand and it's pretty cool
BTW Dan, what is 'Pineapple Express' like?
Welcome back, matey!
FIRST PUBLIC SCREENING WORLDWIDE!!,
Oct 29th (minutes after the World Premiere starts)
Failing that?, it'll instead be:
Odeon Leicester Square, London,
Oct 29th,
Midnight Screening (after the World Premiere)
If there isn't a midnight show?, then it'll have to be:
Odeon Leicester Square,
Oct 30th
Odeon West End isn't as grand as Leicester Square, though I think the screen will have a gradiant you'll get a better view of screen. I'd hold off for LS if I were you (though I'm not).

Yeah, it is a much lesser venue,
I've only ever been there ONCE - some 14 years ago!!,
it's more a case of the EARLIEST I can see the film
Although ,I have to admit, that I'm starting to have second thoughts about it?,
as I do want to be in the crowd outside in the Square, to (hopefully!) meet the Cast,
and I'm worried about be stuck in the crowd, and missing the beginning of the screening - it could be a bit tight for time?
@merseytart
in my college town's crappy cinemark theater in our crappy little mall.
pity the midnight's on a thursday...and that I'm not quite on fall break then...:#
I'll just have to drag a friend with me...but I should probably call the theater to make sure they actually DO midnight premiers...oh they had better 8-)
