It's meant to be in wicked/cool/crazy locations but the one I went to had a shit 40's film about love with Audrey Hepburn and (forgotton his name) I'm sure it's a cult film but I was thinking about leaving and a few people did.
It was a fiver when it started!!
There was a bit of a variety act type thing, and they obviously spent a lot of mpney on that, but you don't really need to.
S**** had the right idea last year with their cinema idea in squats.

Called away to another place
I cant afford to pay £13.50 to watch a bleeding film! me n the boyf go to the cinema with bogof tickets. For the same price we both get to watch a film and have our own popcorn combo thingy! Much better x x

I quite fancy going there.
I guess we'll see where it is, I've got gig tickets for thursday that I was gonna cancel if this had of been decent. I won't bother for £13.50!!
I might kick myself later though....

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
That's pricey, I'm used to paying 9-11 quid for cinema these days but that's for decent screens etc. £13.50 for this is a rip...wonder if this was the plan all along, get people interested via a bit of viral marketing then hike up the price once you've found your audience to make a profit?
boohoo
No.
I reckon the hire of the venue and insurance cover plus whatever it cost to show films makes it expensive.
yeh, maybe if this "moving picture" thing takes off they will eventually purpose build places to watch them in!
boohoo
No.
And then they will turn these purpose built palaces into snooker halls, bingo clubs and flats....

I reckon the organiser(s) are just trying to make money
As long as people pay it then they'll charge it.

I don't know what people fuckin expect for £5.00 a ticket!
The not so secret email that I got without even signing up says the next one is £13.

Wasn't much of a clue as to what the films were... but £13.50
And in Dulwich, too. I think maybe I'll go another time.

Like a boss.
West Dulwich is a) beautiful b) only 12 mins from Victoria and c) 5 mins walk from my house.
Out of interest, why the italics? You can get a train to North Dulwich or Tulse Hill from London Bridge and walk. Not hard to get to from BG at all.

Oh, and yeah, fuck paying £13.5 for an unknown film.

Yipchaa!
I think it's a really good idea, but possibly not working as well as it could yet.
In my opinon they should have kept it fairly low key and underground, built up a strong base of committed fans, people who this sort of thing really appeals to, and maybe then thought about going bigger.
I think that's one of their main problems. They haven't built up enough of a reputation yet to start charging higher prices than a normal cinema (which people are already irritated by). People need to know what they're paying for, and when they don't know the film (which, given the format, I think works) they need to know what else they'll be getting.

Because, when you live fairly centrally, you get a bit spoilt and dislike having to get a bus and a train and then walk a fair distance too.
