Apologies if anyone’s asked a similar question (I did search!), but I was wondering what everyone’s favourite and most avoided cinemas are… My favourites are the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square purely for price and velvet seats and the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith because of the fr...

I have a friend that I work with who doesn’t drink (or smoke), so when we meet up, it seems slightly unfair of me to expect him to come to bars and pubs with me and watch me get pissed and smoke too many fags. What stuff is there to do in the evenings that doesn’t involve bars? There isn’t anyt...

I’ve never quite got around to going to the iMax cinema and was thinking about taking the girlfriend there if I can find something decent showing, but was just wondering whether it’s worth making the trip in to town when I can nip to Bluewater and sit in nice comfy chairs in the Gallery there? So has an...

The other day I was sitting around and just thought that going somewhere to watch a film on a big screen while sat in the car would be pretty excellent. Except apparantly I dont live in last century america, and cant find anything on google to help me. Is London truly empty of drive-in cinemas, or for that matter...

Vue at the O2 is proudly advertising it’s ownership of the largest cinema screen in London. Is screen eleven any good? Film geek that I am, my current favourite are the bigger screens at the filmworks. Nice screens those are. Alternatively where else in London has a large and high quality screen? I’...

Does anyone know of a small cinema (or a small auditorium at a larger cinema) that can be hired for a special occasion, to show the film of one’s choice? I’m sure I’ve heard fellow-Londoners talking about parties where a small, private screening of the birthday boy/girl’s favourite movie was ...

My little cousin (she lives in London, so this post is ok) is doing some A-level mocks, or mock coursework, or whatever it is A-level Media students do these days, and she’s asked me for some suggestions of kick-ass films to write her final essay on. The only criteria are that the film has to address some topi...

I work for a well-known international charity. We’re looking for somewhere to host a staff event one morning in late January. We’d like to show a film – so a cinema or auditorium would be ideal – and there will be around 300 people attending. The problem is, we have very little money. C...

What's with the mess left behind in the cinema after the movie?

Last active about 1 year ago 5 responses

Does anyone else wonder what strange custom is at work when a perfectly ordinary cross section of people, who gather together to watch a movie, leave a fuck you trail of popcorn, sweet debris and various wrappers to be waded through after the film has finished. It’s not the fact that rubbish has been left behi...

I do, though they’re not for everyone); whether the Vi...

Sex and the City movie night

Took place 07:00 on 28th May
6 people attending, 105 responses

I haven’t added a proper date/time/venue because it’s not important yet. We can decide that stuff together. But we should go. A big fat girly cinema trip to see the SATC movie when it comes out. We can dress up. Or not. But we absolutely must drink cosmos both before and after. Who’s with me?
