These shots are from my mobile phone, the cinema has landed! I'm actually quite excited at the prospect of having a multi screen movie theater on my doorstep, in Ealing, in Swiss Cottage, in fact in most places I used to live or work we had that luxury. I love the Big Screen! the dolby surround sound, the Pearl and Dean of it all.
My favourite shows were the 4.45/5.30 showings, just after work ( and before peak pricing) As a single gal, if I wasn't at the gym on my way home after work, I was at the movies. In the dark of the auditorium, nobody knows you are there alone, in the crush of the foyer, there are so many people, that you just disappear into the crowd. Heaven for me, were I to believe in such a destination, would be a cinema with an ever changing choice of movies, from the time that celluloid was invented.
Strangely though other than a diet coke, the thought of pop corn, hot dog, burger or sticky sickly sweeties revolts me, as for foyer eateries, eew, just dont make me go there! Chenz and Nawab, be secure in the knowledge you will keep our business, I'd rather have fish'n'chips in cheap street that go to some plastic fantastic fatgeezer eatery. Shame that The Gin Palace closed, it will be sorely missed!

You can't deny it though, it's one big F**er, it does drown out the surrounding buildings!!

OPENING 13TH NOVEMBER !!!
ReplyDeleteDespite my inner dismay at the enormous size and grotesqueness of it, I'm still looking forward to movie night.... on my own of course, we can't afford a baby sitter too.
