Filmstalkers of the future

Now here's a good idea. MOTS picked up a leaflet in the changing room in a leading supermarket yesterday. In this instance this is a good thing, as MOTS came across a service she did not know about but would find useful. In that respect the advertising has worked, unusually.

And the service? Odeon's "Newbie" screenings.

Young Filmstalkers
What a great idea!! There has to be a large number of parents out there who just on't go the the flicks any more because it is just too much hassle and too expensive (see below) to go without junior(s) in tow, and too much worry about them upsetting others if they do have junior(s) in tow. So the answer? Odeon's Newbies.

"But it only costs £6 to see a film". Yeah, OK, real world now:
Baby sitter - £5/hour, double after 11pm plus taxi home. With travel, film, food, looking at a good 5 hour slot before you leave
Meal out - £25/head including drinks, because you have to take advantage of the fact you're out without junior and make the best of it you can

It soon mounts up!


So, why not take the kids and have Filmstalkers in the making? Genius. Absolutely genius. They just need to extend it to Saturday mornings so the whole family can go, including working parents / partners, and it's perfect!

Oh, don't go expecting to see The Hills Have Eyes II, it's 12a or lower certificates!
