FAQ About Time Travel

Today, I decided to take myself off to the cinema to see the film "Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel" as it seemed to contain everything I like in a film:

Sci-Fi (CHECK)
Time Travel (CHECK)
A Pub (CHECK)
Something nice to look at (CHECK)
Comedy (CHECK)

And it was well worth it. I know it's only a low budget film, and that by next weekend it will be being forced out of cinemas, firstly by X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and then after that by Star Trek (Both of which, it has to be said, appeals to much the same demographic) and I expect that FAQATT will never make any money and be forgotten about. Which is a shame. Because it's a well shot, well thought-out and well crafted little film that everyone who likes those subjects deserves to see.

I was alarmed, however, that when I went to see it this afternoon, I was the ONLY person in the cinema watching it. I really hope it makes money, because otherwise people will be even less inclined to fund small films in future.

So here's a plan. This week sometime, go and see it. I know it won't be on in every cinema, but I would imagine it's showing somewhere close to you (Yes you, I am talking to YOU blog reader, not any other blog reader, this is personal). If you have a significant other, go on Orange Wednesday so it's cheaper for you :) But go and see it. Support the british film industry.

Plus did I mention, it's rather good :)
