Talking of the 7 Dwarves

How can you tell me that the Cinema doesn't dwarf the town?
I met two trendy, thirty something dudes today opposite the Cinema, discussing its ugliness, hugeness, urban- ness. I had to talk to them. They had moved out of the City to "get away from such hideous Urban Sprawl" and chose Newbury "For its historic, country market town- ness".
"And now they are spoiling Newbury!"

We agreed that a cinema was great , but why in the centre? Why not on the outskirts? or in a more industrial , or less historic part of town? Why not indeed? Who is in charge of this insanity that calls itself "town planning"?
I am not alone!!!!
Thanks Guys, I was afraid it was just me screaming in a vacuum.

  1. YAY Although i find the building un aesthetically pleasing , it is build, and I love the movies. Today the good staff of Vue gave us a wad of money off vouchers for the opening week. And Mums and Dads kids are 95p on weekends!!!!
    I've booked a few mornings off as Daddy and son can go watch kiddie cinema and I can have a well deserved lie in!
