Re: LaLa Land ED Film Club: A social meetup for locals: Sat 14th Jan 2017


Recommended Posts

Hi All,


I'm a great fan of the cheap prices at our local (ish) Peckham Plex cinema. At ?4.99 a ticket, who couldn't be?!

So I thought it would be nice to have a social group who meet on a monthly basis to enjoy the cinema and a few drinks after.


If you'd like to join a few locals to watch Side Effects this Saturday 9th March please read on.......


The Film starts at 18:30 at Peckham Plex. Visit the website to book your ticket or just get it on the night.

If you'd like to go to the cinema as a group, we will meet in The Rye Pub www.theryepeckham.com from 17:30. I'll bring a sign with me so you know where the group is!

We'll leave the pub at 18:10 which will be enough time to walk down to the cinema and for people to buy tickets. After watching the film we can return to The Rye, or perhaps a pub on Lordship Lane.


Come alone, as a couple or as a group! Absolutely everybody welcome!

PM me with any questions.


Hope to see you there, Louisa

Great, glad people are up for it. It will be good to do some local socialising, and watch a decent (hopefully) film. Side Effects has 84% on Rotten Tomatoes so it should be OK! Keep pm'ing me or replying to this thread so we have a vague idea of numbers and interest. See you Sat, Louisa

Louisa/All,


Enjoy the film; busy with Camberwell Free Film Festival which starts next week. Amongst others we are showing 'The Damned United' at Dulwich Hamlet FC on Friday 22 March. Pubwise I recommend The Gowlett on Gowlett Road SE15, 10 min walk tops from Peckham Plex and open to 1am on Saturdays.


Best


Andrew

Tonight is the first ED film Club meetup. From the pm's I've had and some messages above, there should be a good crowd of us which is great! Anyone else wishing to come, please do - see original post for details. Some people are coming on their own so don't be shy!

See you in The Rye from 5:30. I'll have a sign with me!

Kev and I really enjoyed last night, was lovely to meet such warm and friendly people. It's a shame we won't be able to make to next one as we're off on our jollies, but definately look forward to the one afterwards.

See you all then! Hannah

Of course, everyone welcome! When the film listings come out for our next meet up (27 April), I'll post an update on here, but in the meantime, save the date! Louisa

Hi Everyone,


Our second East Dulwich Film is soon approaching - this Saturday 27th April in the evening. We will be once again meeting in The Rye pub, going to Peckham Plex to watch a film for a bargain ?5, and then for anyone who'd like to come for a drink after, we'll head back to The Rye.


I'm just waiting for the film times to be published but the general consensus is to see The Look of Love - a new film directed by Michael Winterbottom, starring Anna Friel and Steve Coogan.


I'll post timings on here when they are out, but put the date in your diary if you'd like to come. We had couples and singles of all ages last time so everyone is definitely welcome!

Hi Everyone,


Thanks for your messages on here and the pm's.


Peckham Plex have published their film times for this Saturday. I thought they'd be showing the new Steve Coogan film but they're not, so have chosen a film called The Place Beyond the Pines, starring Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes. It has excellent reviews everywhere so fingers crossed, we should be entertained.

Here's the plan of action:


Meet in the Rye Pub at 16:30. I'll have a little sign with me, but I'll get there early and post on here where I am.

Leave The Rye to walk to Peckham Plex at 17:20

Film starts 17:50

Back to pub afterwards if you'd like to!


Our first meeting last month was really good fun and it was lovely to meet some locals, so do come along if you fancy some film watching and socialising.


Any questions let me know.

Kev and I really enjoyed this last time, so we'll be going to this too. Also I'm pleased with the film choice, we were talking about going to see this anyway, it looks really good. Hope you can make it too Tracey!

See you on Saturday,

Hannah

    • Just had a carpets cleaned by Steve Nourse and his colleague at short notice. They are lovely guys and the cleaning was quick and carpets look great. Good value. 
    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now There is a reason people like their modern phones - and it isn't just replacing cash. Replacing all of these functions in a tiny device is a magnificent achievement and to just boil  it down to "big lump with a screen" is reductive in the extreme  
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
