This is my first Glasto and with so much to see and do I can't imagine anyone would want to go to the cinema during Glastonbury.

Is it very popular?  Considering it's something you can do everyday of the year in your own town why would you do it when the alternatives sound so much more interesting and different?

Just curious

Yeah, I think it's quite popular - I spent a lot of time in there last year watching Deja Vu and Kill Bill.

Does anyone remember when everyone in the tent was shouting, "Wiggle your big toe" when Kill Bill was showing?

...never been there, but now that it's a tent in the acoustic field I might...had breakfast watching the ramones film at the electric picnic one year, was nice to lie down and flake out for a while.

It's always been quite popular when I have been. That was when it was outdoors though, not sure how it will be now it's all indoors.  I remember going up the the cinema field at 1am to watch a film with my friend. We both brought a massive blanket and our sleeping bags to keep all snuggled up under and a big rox of red wine!. It was great

Looking forward to seeing the Anvil film on thursday night this year

I have plans for a few films. I think it will be more popular this year, as sometimes it could be a bit of a mission to get to, and no bars near by

Good point!. Also I think their were a few problems when it used to be the big screen outside. I remember one year they kept having to cancel films because the slightest bit of wind would mess up the screen.

I remember watching Ghostbusters a couple of years back (2007) and everyone in the field was humming the theme tune - wicked!

i wanna go it seems like a wicked idea.

Funny

Ghostbusters was an absolute classic in 2007, less cinema more pantomime for my liking. "you do not know the hell you are about to unleash on New York" (just before the mayor shuts down the ghostbusters vault) being quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever heard watching a film!

a shame there is no outside film screen this year but always a treat if its an easy, nothing too taxing on the brain type of movie!

I'll probably try to make the Star Trek showing as I am a shameless nerd who is in love with Zachary Quinto.

Absolutely!
