This thread is designed for people who don't mind paying a small fortune to watch a film (including snacks). Not everyone wants to underpay for something when they can pay over the odds and brag about it to their mates. Now can we please stop with the negativity towards the overpriced facilities that gentrification provides for working class neighbourhoods. Now who wants some popcorn? Anyone?

I don't particularly like the cinema myself. But I usually go down to Beckenham odeon if I do see something I fancy watching on the big screen, nice change of scenery, pop into Nandos for some peri peri chicken beforehand. I do believe cinemas are missing a trick by not offering more variety and competitive pricing but I'm not that fussed about it either way. When I was a kid Peckham had 5 cinemas and ED had an Odeon. Now that's what I call choice!


Louisa.

Right we had the gaumont on Peckham high street/queens road. The tower cinema on rye lane. The odeon? Where the job centre is near Burger King in Peckham. Let me keep thinking there's definitely two I'm missing out here.

But fussed enough to start yet another disparaging thread.

Since when was this thread disparaging? The aim was create a positive space for people who are sick of all the other negative threads on the forum about this cinema chain.


I'm sick of hearing people moaning about people who make countering threads against those in other threads moaning about gentrified cinema chains. Give it a rest! Rah how about you start a thread about people like me making threads about people moaning about our new cinema? Have we come full circle yet? Happy Saturday everyone!

But oddly quids you don't respond to the other 50 odd threads covering the same topic of the picturehouse, going over the same old ground in sections of the forum they shouldn't even be in (which I am actually mocking in this here thread)


But as I said in the honey thread, why let that get in the way of anything?


Quick it's flying over your head, turn before it disappears... Quick! ... Damn you missed it. Looks like the sense of humour spacecraft was missed. Better luck next time!

Neither . It was The Capitol.

History of the Capitol cinema here.


http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/2428


"the Capitol Cinema was built in 1928-9 for London & Southern Cinemas and designed by noted cinema architect and garden designer John Stanley Beard.

It opened on 11th February 1929 with John Gilbert in ?Man Woman and Sin?. As the cinema was designed for silent movies, sound equipment had to be installed soon after opening. It originally had a Compton 2Manual/8Ranks theatre organ which was opened by Edgar Peto. There was also a cafe for the convenience of patrons. The stage was 22 feet deep and with three dressing rooms it allowed for variety shows to be staged.

It was taken over by Associated British Cinemas(ABC) from July 1933 and they operated it for the remainder of its cinematic life."

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
