We went out to see Pan's Labyrinth tonight at La Premiere with asagwe and shadow_5tails.

Movie was very good, although not for the faint-hearted - there's plenty of brutality to establish the Fascists as the bad guys, and without spoilers... well, the second task involved one of the creepiest things I've seen in quite a while.

Sadly, cannot give La Premiere the same endorsement. The tickets have always included free popcorn and drinks, which made up for most of the price difference between that and a normal seat; when we got there tonight they told us LP no longer includes drinks and we'd have to buy our own, which we did. Checked afterwards on the website where we booked our tickets and confirmed that it still advertises 'complimentary soft drinks and popcorn', so a grumpy letter is in order.

I saw it last night, as well, and was both sad and bummed by the end of the movie, although I do realize that's it's supposed to be a good thing that the Princess finally returns to her kingdom. I still think it was a really well done film, just not exactly uplifting.
