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.




Vic :)

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.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
