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."

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
