Well...



I think something happens to people in cinemas.


We went to see the Woody Allen movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona & Woody's a humorous guy, right?


So, at one particularly funny scene ( I know it's subjective ) my other half burst out laughing.


The woman behind , all vintaged up, red beret, leant across & prodded my beloved on the shoulder & through her MASSIVE horse like teeth ( all surrounded with a shock of red lipstick )


She hissed "SSSSHhhhhhHsSSSHHH....HH"


Which made the whole thing even funnier ( btw other people also laughed )


That wasn't you was it *Bob* ?



NETTE:-S


*Mind you it was at the Ritzy

I did start laughing out loud at the latest BA ad at the cinema recently - all men pilots- and all white- it was ok with the historic scenes- but when they panned to the current day and it was still all white male pilots and young beautiful air stewardesses I felt a bit embarrassed as they were serious. ::o

I've only been to the cinema once whilst in drag - and that was some time ago - so it couldn't have been me.


Maybe the conditioned air is infused with some sort of hysterical idiot-juice, so that the dismal Lynx commercial which you usually fast-forward through when at home becomes a work of sublime comedic genius, causing your and your moviegoing partner to spontaneously clutch each other's arms and emit ridiculous, honking guffaws. Who knows.

The Peal & Dean ad (yes....still running) makes me smile. But only for the nostalgia and the heady mix of old tobacco, chocolate raisins and popcorn that was the Edinburgh Dominion circa 1983.


However, my other half has a funny sounding cinema laugh (a kind of continuous monotone "Haaaaaaaa") and furthermore, she laughs at parts of a film which are not funny to anyone else. This produces a brilliant sonic call and response effect whereby something not funny makes her laugh ("Haaaaaaaa.") which makes every one else laugh louder. Come down the Ritzy this sunday and experience it for yourself.

Mind you


I'd rather be hissed/laughed/prodded at in The Ritzy than my 'never again' experience at the i-max in Greenwich.


Some people were texting and phoning each other whilst talking and generally having a party, as you do.


One irate man-mountain of a parent decided to up the ante by going over and LOUDLY berating a crowd of chavs young people.


For a moment I actually thought i'd come to the theatre not the cinema. I've had a simular experience in Wimbledon.


Must be all the sweets & pop drinks they consume.


( I'm more down with the wine hysteria me )


Really though, why cant we have plug-in head phone sockets at the cinemas as an optional extra ?

ETA: Plus ca change ......

Nette: I've had the misfortune to be in the Ritzy with the self-same red-bereted idiot sitting behind me. She seemed to think that she was the only one who got the 'We're not posh, we're "Arts and Crafts" line in 'Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll".


I've got to warn you, she seems to have the 'Season Ticket', as I had to put up with her translating (badly) both parts of 'Mesrine' in the Clapham Picture House a few weeks later.


Near enough 5 hours of franglais from 'la chaval avec le chapeau rouge'.


Frankly, les bolloques.

O M G:))


She's a serial "cinamista" then


"Zut allors"


NETTE(tu)

I fear she may be a 'serial cinamista'. She's 'une twot' I know that.


I just hope she doesn't find out about the mini-cinema in the Clockhouse. I don't fancy the idea of her ruining my afternoon pint by honking along to one of their Disney Club presentations.


'Zut alors' indeed et 'le singe est dans l'arbre' peut-etre.

Is it funny? I don't think I've ever been flown by a female pilot.

Thanks for that *Bob* - I'm having a Cinz right now, as it goes. No ice, Jif instead of lemon. New slippers, though.


My mum used to LOL at the funny bits in Shakespeare, and join in that whinny concert audiences do when a "light" piece ends on a note of whimsical musical humour.


The stupid cow.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
