I missed it too  Started feeling really shit after dinner yesterday, and I don't think people would have appreciated me throwing up in the middle of the film  Absolutely gutted though - it's Sod's Law that I get ill the one night I have something important to do...
However, still having Aliens (partially) makes up for it. I WILL be there, and it's gonna rock!
Throwing up might be considered far out during a certain scene in A L I E N

Just back from the Edinburgh screening which was a lot of fun. The Filmhouse showed the Prometheus trailer just before Alien started up which was unexpected as they had said on twitter because they weren't getting the film in it would be unlikely they would screen it.
The print was old, really old. It had an X rating certificate at the start. The picture quality varied at parts - a red tinge here and there just through use over the decades. But at other times it looked like it could have been shot yesterday. Some cheeky sod had clearly also taken some frames from the film for a personal collection.
But honestly, even with these things, the film was amazing on the big screen - a true epic. The capacity crowd audience ate it up.

and laughing at the jokes.
Shame it wasn't a brand new print,but glad you got to see it on the Big Screen,where it belongs like so many other classic Sci/Fi films/horror.
There was plenty of nervous laughter back in the year of it's release,during the Parker and Brett moments,then total silence for the rest of the onslaught.
