Mother and Baby Scream!ngs

[aimeej]

Hello!

I am trying to set up film screenings (of the latest blockbusters - nothing too high brow!) which we can take our little ones along to (as well as all the usual paraphernalia - prams, bags etc etc).

The plan is to have the lights on a little so we can feed, and English subtitles, just in case there's some crying (to be expected and not always from the babies!).

It's likely that it will be on a weekday afternoon at the Directors Club in Tai Koo Shing (just a few stops from central on the MTR or there's plenty of parking and a mall if you fancy a spot of shopping or lunch first).

If you are interested can you message me your email address, so I can get in contact with you when I get a date and film sorted (Robin Hood is looking likely for the first one).

Just a clarification: two things:

1. PM me your email address if you want to be added to the mailing list for the Mother and Baby Scream!ngs

2. These films are for the Mummies to make us feel a bit normal again and to give us something more that feeding/sleeping/pooing to talk about!! I am assuming the babies will be young enough not to be watching, so the films are not going to be aimed specifically at a young audience. That said, it's not like we're going to be watching slasher flicks, but it's not Disney either!

Thank you for all your support so far - Am experiencing a classic "computer says no" from the cinemas here, but persevering, so will keep you all updated.

Just to keep you posted, I'm not getting very far on arranging mother and baby screenings here.

Palace IFC allude to technical and logistical problems that mean that they can't do it.

AMC Pacific Place never get back to me despite calls, emails, and going in in person

The Directors Club say that you can go and take your baby with you to any screening, but you have to pay for the baby ($350 for one pair of a mummy and baby with free popcorn...though admittedly the seats are very comfy). Would this actually work in real life? I'm not sure, but I have an email that says you can....though if I was a normal customer and there was a crying baby in the cinema, I wouldn't very happy!! You can also book the whole place out but the baby counts as a "head" so the price would still be the same, if you managed to fill all the spaces.

Let me know if anyone has any other ideas!
