What do I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing/shoes or even pajamas/ dressing gown. Tight leather pants may work for you at the club but watching 24 hours of movies will turn them into liquid cheese. Bring warm clothing, or blankets in case it gets cold. Usually it's pretty warm.

What should I bring?

Cash to support the theatres snack bar, breakfast and munchies, Aspirin, Nurofen, water bottle, flashlight, pillow, toothbrush/toothpaste. No fucking laser pointers. Instant removal from cinema if you use one. No refund.

Can I bring a seat or beanbag to the Hollywood Cinema in Auckland?

Only if you buy a beanbag space. See ticketing.

Can I bring food?

Yes, it's okay to bring nibbles along but we really encourage for people to buy candy from the theatre itself. The theatres are doing us a huge favour by opening their doors, the least we can do is support them by buying some munchies.

Can I bring in hot food?

Okay Caps time. HELL NO! No one wants to smell your Mobil beef burrito at 4am. Hot food stenches can cause riots... eat out in the lobby or better still outside the theatre.

Can I bring in booze?

No. 100% NO. Any booze will be confiscated and drunk by staff at the end of the event.

Do I have to be 18 or older?

Yes you do, and ID is required. Even if only one film is Restricted, it means the whole night is. And there will always be a few R rated titles, that's for sure.

How raunchy does it get?

Well there is always a good dose of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Probably no worse than what you can see on TV these days but if you're offended by full frontal nudity, sexism, racism, gore and bad language then you probably shouldn't talk to any of the staff. Lets just say the PC Police would commit suicide after 6 hours of the marathon.

May I talk during the films?

No you may not. Gibbering to your mate during a film will piss off people around you. Take it to the lobby. This is not your living room, this is my goddamn church. You might think your sleep deprived whispering in your gals ear is too quiet to be heard... guess what padrone.. it aint. It sounds like a fucking lawn mower. Take it to the lobby.

Can I say witty things at the trashy films?

Within reason. Tread carefully boyo. Not all of the films screening are exploitation and trash. Many are deserving of your total silence and focused attention. Be respectful of others, not everyone thinks you're a comedian.

Will it sell out

Yes. Last year it sold out. So get your tickets early as this is the 12th year!
