East Dulwich Picturehouse tweeted 19 minutes ago that so far 157 people have become founder members, so looks like there is still plenty of opportunity to become one of the first 1000 people to be included in the specially commissioned art installation within the new building.

Maybe if they didn't spend time hiring artists for this hippy nonsense, they could invest in keeping the ticket prices low. You don't see Peckham Plex doing all this stuff and look how cheap they are. I'm not bad mouthing them for the sake of it, just wish sometimes these businesses would invest in keeping prices low for cinemagoers, because that's why most of us will be using it, not to look at college grad arty nonsense.

The street art scene is a poor attempt to get 'down with the kids'. If the kids from the council estate were involved and helping out with the project I'd have some sympathy, but judging by the pictures they're not are they? It's a very left of centre, right on thing to do- slightly embarrassing for those of us who just want a nice place to go and watch film at affordable prices.

It's nice and a good gesture from EDPH whilst they undertake the building work. If only the folk at the "art house" as was would do the same: the hoardings around this house at the Heber/Lordship bus stop are already tagged, as I knew they would be when they went up in their sparkling whiteness a few weeks ago. If anyone has any in with this development, give them a nudge to clean up the mess and keep it cleaned up.
I sympathise with some of the reservations about ?street art?, how it?s been co-opted, sanitised and commercialised (and become arguably, just a bit naff). All that said, it?s better than advertising, or just a plain hoarding. The new cinema can only be a good thing for the area IMO. At the very least, you may feel indifferent, but I don?t get the actual anger that some posters seem to be venting. I wonder how much it really has to do with street art or the cinema at all.

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
