East Dulwich Picturehouse

[Otta]

I obviously don't know the people involved, but it's like when I read about the Coke takeover of Innocence. I'm sure the Innocence guys try to convince themselves that it's for the best and that it just means their product will reach a wider market without compromising their principles. Maybe they even manage to believe it for a while.

But at the end of the day they were offered a lot of money and it was too much to turn down. Principles be damned.

I'm not condemning them for it, I'd do exactly the same thing.

whoever owns it, the ddecision ed (re Mike Loach) remains poor

[Otta]

Petty I agree.

[StraferJack]

now this like the old days - two of us niggling over a detail we largely agree on ;-)

[Otta]

I've got so much work to do, but absolutely no inclination to do any of it, so this works for me.

[kimling]

are we still on about the damn money??

anyway - i think its good that were getting a picture house, means less traveling to cinema in my car so im saving the enviroment.

East Dulwich Picturehouse...the stuff that dreams are made of...a true dream come true. We've passed planning, build it and they will come. Let's just hope that building starts soon and everyone get's their memberships in. A Community Cinema for the whole Community, what a great amenity to the area!

[Otta]

"A community cinema" haha.

I think it's great, but come on.

[*Bob*]

A 'community cinema'?

Isn't that school stacking-chairs, cups of orange squash for 10p and the local geography teacher struggling to change the reel?

I hope it's a proper cinema, with comfy chairs and Malteser grab bags and suchlike.

[StraferJack]

is it like the dream machine?

A proper local flicks - I hope they spray a Wrestlers HotDog smell throughout the auditorium and the seats are sticky with KiaOra.

Cheap tasteless mass produced popcorn is a must along with overpriced 'meal deals' and slush puppies. I for one, can't wait.

I do hope there will be a good selection of gluten/dairy free confectionary. Fair trade, of course.

Oh, and if there's chocolate, it simply must be single estate, 80% cacao.

And frehsly pressed juices, please.

I'm so glad we'll have such a marvellous resource for the whole community to share.

Hiya all

Re; Picture house.

Is this the same "picturehouse" organisation as in Brixton Ritzy? That is to say, the "picturehouse" of high staff turnover, rock bottom wages, regular strikes and demo's, lost saturday performances, etc etc.

An organisations like Starbucks, which cultivate hip images of themselves, but act like unreconstructed capitalists?

The same organisation that is owned by a large cinema chain? (Odeon isn't it?)

Can't we do better than that?

Until Picturehouse gets its staff relationships and wages sorted out it should be boycotted. ( I Do!)

Yours

R Gutsell

Here we go. What did I do with that organic popcorn?
