MySpace Freebies hit Wellington

Submitted by sue on Tuesday, 06 Mar 2007.

Back in Feb those lucky Auckland MySpace people had the chance to check out Evermore for Free.

Well Wellington, our time has come and it's a goodie. If you are a MySpace member just add The Black Curtain to your MySpace friends and you'll be told the secret squirrel location of the free screening of HotFuzz this Friday.

Why Go?
Well, to start it's free.
To follow it's by the genius minds behind Shaun of the Dead
To continue you get a special appearance & introduction by Peter Jackson.
If that's not enough - it's free, people!

My only hope is that Simon Pegg is as funny in person now as he was when he was in Wellington for the Laugh Festival back in the deep dark '90s.

Bill Bailey & Steve Coogan in the same film?!?! That's almost enough to brave the retina-searing hideousness of myspace for!

It's on at the Embassy (of course) and you just need to rock on up on Friday night -- no need to join myspace and go through that palaver.

According to the myspace page, the film features "a cameo by an Oscar winning Australian". I only hope they're referring to somebody *other* than Peter Jackson...

he's in the Credits as Santa
does it count as a cameo if you're listed in the credit?

Does he count as an Aussie? is a better question

Oh, and what time Friday? Is there someway decent folk (like us at the Wellingtonista) can get in ahead of the hoi poloi?

I thought you pledged to use your Wellingtonista credentials for good, not evil (says this member of the hoi polloi who knows what time).

Doc, you ain't hoi poloi you're decent folk like us. Heck, you've got a Wellingtonista login, you must be a pretty good sort!

Apparantely queues will be accomodated from 4pm. I'll have to rush down after work, hopefully an hour and a half isn't long enough to cause a massive queue :-(

I saw senior Wellingtonista executives in the queue so I can only assume you were able to ascertain the time from a more forthcoming source than myself.

ETA: and, to answer my own question, no, Peter Jackson *isn't* the Oscar-winning Australian referred to in the publicity material.
