We?re witnessing the perfect PR storm here, fuelled largely by swarms of nostalgia-riddled middle-agers quietly panicking about the onset of their own mortality - and labouring under the delusion that wetting themselves about Star Wars will somehow slow their inexorable slide into the grave.

*Bob*'s got me sussed, no doubt I'll be sitting next to him, quietly weeping into a large glass of Picpoul De Pinet and shall reflect on my sad, sorry life since I saw the first film (not episode) all those years ago. The wasted years when I could have been an East Dulwich Jedi warrior just like *Bob* fighting the pretension and middle class angst of this corner of south London. It's a children's film get over yourself.

I like the original three films (including all the performances) as they were hoky old shit with lots of shiny bells and whistles. The other films took themselves too seriously - like the Bond films do now too. Will happily watch the new one but probably only when it comes out on dvd.

I have pre-booked tickets for Thursday Night 9pm ...Child of 1970...


I remember going to see them all at the pictures (first three that is) before you could book tickets and the performance sold out so you had to wait around for two hours before the next showing...


very much looking forward to this

I like that Seabag.


If this Star Wars is as shit as the first one it will make a lot of people happy I guess.


I'm hoping it's completely different, so that the 48 year old Mick likes it more than the 10 year old kid in me was confused by the original. I really want to like it and will see it out of blind curiosity, with 6 year old child in tow, an imaginative boy by his father's standards.

    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
    • Yes, absolutely! in comparison to now, you are 100% correct!
