Yah well hmmm... if you're on a ?5 or bust budget, then it's great (I went today). But it's pretty chatty/basic. However, it is I discovered 'the oldest independent cinema' in the county.

Peckham Plex is great - you can stick EDPH up your jacksy. And for once I am being serious.

Ok but yes and all that. It's nice enough and I'd go again, but its quite pared back as you'd expect for a ?5


And the pop corn sticks to you clothes.


And the people behind and in front chatted throughout the film

I've just been reading all the Irvine Welsh books and am 3/4 of the way through Porno. So I won't go and see it until I've finished the book. I'm particularly interested in how the film deals with poor Juice Terry's little 'accident' and who on earth could they have cast for Curtis?
I'm going to go along out of nostalgia but like seeing the Happy Mondays a couple of years ago I think it'll disappoint - that's the general view of the reviews i've read. Still looking forward to it though. Read the book just after it was published so was a bit snotty about the sudden rise of Welsh and Train spotting when the film came out. Welsh is of course a solid West Ham fan (goes quite a lot) and the ICF feature in one of his sequels (none of which i've rated to be honest)

I believe local heroes Fat White Family's Whitest Boy On The Beach plays as the credits role, which is a good thing as they might now be able to afford somewhere permanent to live instead living in squats or crashing on other people's sofas. They could certainly use the money.

Apart from price, the EDPH is far superior. Screen, ambience, seating, just about everything is nicer. But there's a price premium on that obviously.

Personally I found a lot of cinemas to be soulless spaces - and that feeling about other cinemas is heightened since EDPH opened. Its not a snobbish thing - its just a much nicer place to spend time.

    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
