Another day, another London Film Festival gala marquee at the Odeon Leicester Square.
In case you missed my tweet, Inside Llewyn Davis is fantastic. Review soon…

i don’t know… these galas don’t look very… gala to me. where are the balloons? the big swinging lights? the fancy food and people in tuxedos?
Yeah… it’s a big poster.
At least sometimes, I’ve seen the cinemas in Leicester Square do something special for a particular film — a 3-dimension construction rather than just the poster. But I imagine that’s only practical if it’s on for longer than a day.
This was at 8:30am. All that stuff comes in the evening, with the actual screening. Which I don’t get to go to. Or, well, I could do the red carpet as press, but that would be boring and depressing as hell.
