Your tears of jealousy taste so sweet.

BFI IMAX, or regular?

If the former, I hope you swung by Flynn's Arcade on the South Bank... The light show is worth the trip on its own.

Yeah, the BFI megadome - which, from the outside, kinda resembles the MCP complex from the original movie. I saw the HP installation - cool stuff.
