NewWave Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I felt the need to post because more than once in recent weeks I've wanted to see a movie only to find that for whatever reason It isn't being shown at our local cinema, meaning that I have to look to attending other theatres in the PictureHouse chain.and yet movies seem to run for weeks and weeks on end with scant change to the program.Eg: Amy is still showing after around a month.New release Iris is not being shown until the end of the week.Anyone else been frustrated by things like this?

Zebedee Tring Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Not another thread complaining about the ED Picture House. If there's a film that's not showing there, then there are plenty of other cinemas you can go to, including the extremely non- elitist PeckhamPlex.We should be so glad that we now actually HAVE an ED cinema.

Chief Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The Picturehouse is a brilliant addition to East Dulwich. Will the moaners stop moaning please, you're pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1011 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 This thread should be in the EDF business section too. Apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonMix Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It should be in that section but this complaint is so petty. It only has 3 screens- it's not a huge multiplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobic3000 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I might go and see Amy... Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee Tring Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's excellent, albeit rather harrowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic Basher Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I wanted to see Ted 2, but it's neither mainstream or alternative enough. Plex it is then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggers Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 just been to see Amy. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltore Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Surely if you only have 3 screens you'd be more careful to rotate? Amy for a month is pretty shite tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobic3000 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well I hope it's still on next week because I really want to see it now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Tonbridge Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Oh for heaven's sake, SEND THIS THREAD TO THE BUSINESS SECTION where all the other PictureHouse threads are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee Tring Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The reason that the cinema is still showing "Amy" is because people still want to see the film - if they didn't want to see it, they would take it off. The Picture House is a business, not a hippy style workers co-operative run by flower children (though it would appear that certain people would prefer it if it was).If a second cinema opened in LL, then no doubt some people would complain that there were only two cinemas and that there wasn't enough choice in those two cinemas. It seems that there are some people on the EDF who just love to complain, regardless of whether they have a real grievance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If people went to their favourite Indian.. Nice d?cor. Comfortable seating.. .. but only served 3 Curries which the rotated every 2 weeks. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee Tring Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 DF, the Picture House aren't showing just three films that they are rotating every two weeks. Or have I missed the point that you are trying to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltore Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Wouldn't class my critisicm as 'a real grievance' but nor is it complaining for complaining's sake.I love having a cinema in ED. I just find it slightly disappointing when they take up a 3rd of their screens with a celeb biography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Having a cinema in ED is great, but it shouldn't be immune to criticism just because people are pleased it's there. And calling anyone that dares criticise it "pathetic" is pretty shitty.I think it is a fair point to suggest that keeping a film on for a month when you only have 3 screens is a bit limiting. You don't have to agree, but it's not pathetic.People need to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalamityKel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've never thought of a "picture house" to be on the same level as a "normal" cinema - meaning mainstream cinemas such as Odeon or Vue are the kind to show the big blockbusting/film of the moment/latest releases whereas a the likes of the Picturehouse were not so main stream and could/would choose to screen whatever they liked. Have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 There's at least three different threads on the picturehouse now. This is getting silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Seriously I don't know why people bother going to the cinema in East Dulwich when you can get a free trial of Netflix for a month ( 100s of films) and 10 pizzas for ?5 from Iceland, more money than sense all you blow ins etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBen Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It's just the 98% of the local population who love having a new cinema getting annoyed with the 2% minority who seem to enjoy kicking off a variety of new threads on what are essentially really petty moans. Easy trolling. Nobody's saying it's above criticism but starting a new thread each week complaining about popcorn or that it's showing a successful, rated film that you personally don't like is either stupid or trolling. Likely both. Amy is currently only one late showing a day on one screen and it's still taking money because it's a great place to experience a successful,highly regarded film. That's how small cinemas in neighbourhood locations can stay in business in a Netflix world. People seem to have forgotten the last 50 years already...
