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

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

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
