New cinema

Recommended Posts

I remember going to the Cinema in the 50's..

Films were screened continuously and we rarely watched the a film from start to finish.


Often when we went in the film might be half way through, so we would watch the film to the end then

watch the beginning until we reached the bit where we first came in. Seems ridiculous now.


Then Cinemas started to have start times and a program with a second film and then the

trailers for the following week.


The same film would be shown for the whole week.


There was only one screen and the Cinemas were huge holding many hundred people.

Ice cream was sold in the interval when reels were being changed. Hot dogs were available and smoking

was allowed. Many gentle men smoked pipes.

There was always a thick blue haze and you could see the beam of the projectors in the smoke.


So with 3 screens I don't know how often films will be changed.

Can't imagine the same film being on for the whole week.

It will operate in exactly the same way as all other cinemas with several films all showing at different rimes of the day and evening and usually running for a fortnight. They will have probably cut out the man sitting at his organ rising from the orchestra pit and and the White tennis ball jumping along the words to the music but we are in austere times!

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
