atm, Orange are sponsoring the 'please turn off your mobile' message at
the start of movies at UK UCI cinemas.

It's done in the style of a film pitch, where Carrie Fisher is pitching a
classic movie (damn damn damn, can't remember which one - might have been
Wuthering Heights) to some jaded studio execs, who of course suggest
'improvements' like use of SMS etc. Right at the death when she's storming
out, one of the execs suggests.... Light Sabres! And starts making
"WhhhmmmMMMMmmmmm!" noises.

I laughed (and got funny looks)

Cheers
