Just in from HPC:

You're invited to our Complimentary Private Movie Screening!
Dear Danger,

As one of our most valued Hilton Premium Club members, Hilton requests the pleasure of you and your guest to join us at our exclusive members-only pre-screening of 'Up in the Air'.
Be one of the first to see the movie before it is released to the general public on the 14th January, 2010.

From Jason Reitman, the Oscar® nominated director of 'Juno', comes a dramatic comedy called 'UP IN THE AIR' starring Oscar® winner George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road (that has him practically living out of Hilton Hotels) is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.

Date of Event: Wednesday 9 December, 2009
Time: Arrive by 6.15pm. Movie starts at 6.45pm sharp
Venue: Hoyts Melbourne Central (corner of Swanston and Latrobe Streets, Melbourne), Cinema 6

RSVP by: Friday 4 December, 2009
To reserve your place, complete the RSVP form below.
A confirmation email will be sent to you upon completion of the form. Please bring along a copy of this email upon arrival at the cinema.

The email includes a form to RSVP and to bring a guest. I'm thrilled because, as a Perth flyer, I'll be in Melbourne that night. I'll know in a day or so whether or not I can guest someone.

Nice work!

It comes out in the US this Friday and I've got this weekend to kill all by myself in Dallas, so I'm definitely going to see it. Can't wait! :D
 
So you are an important HPC member unlike the rest of us rabble.:(

Some of us are among their 'most valued'. Not that their online form in the email worked that well (or at all!) for me.
 
Damn, that would have been cool - enjoy the movie, and let us know what you think!
 
I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone by suggesting I was "important"; I merely posted the exact wording of the email. It did not occur to me, despite the wording, that not all members of HPC would receive the email.

I don't think anyone took offense mate. At least, I certainly hope no-one here is that precious!

Definitey no offence taken.I was just making an oblique reference to the policy of Hilton when they increased points taken for award nights.Some diamond members were compensated with a free night-an official Hhonors rep on FT said it only went to the most valued diamond members(oz_mark was right i was wrong).Great PR as all those diamonds who didnt get the offer were mightily displeased.
Seems HPC went to the same school of diplomacy.

Thanks, drron. Seems strange to me that HPC wouldn't send the email out to everyone. They could at least say it's only open to the first x number of people. My registered address is in Perth and it's only by a wing and a prayer that I'll be in Melbourne at the time.

Did you get an confirmation email?

I certainly haven't received one yet!
 
I have just been through my emails in case I did the usual and just breeze over it but alas nothing here :!:
 
I received the email Monday evening. I meant to post it here.

I will not be attending as the timing is inconvenient to me.

Besides, I have been spoilt by AVOD and DVD players. Hard to press pause in a Cinema while one goes for another bevvy ... :p

There is an iPhone application that tell you when there is a slow part so you can duck out :!:
 
Okay. I can guest. If anyone would like to be 'my guest', PM me with your name before 11am WST Friday. First in . . .

UPDATE: guest spot filled.
