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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
