The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Miles Ahead? (2015) at 8pm on Thursday, 27 September 2018, at the Ivy House.

This story of a ?metaphorical? meeting in 1979 between legendary jazz musician Miles Davis (Don Cheadle) and Rolling Stone?s fictional Dave Bradon (Ewan McGregor) is set at the moment when Davis? career appears eclipsed. The story purports to tell of a frenzied search for a missing tape of Davis? newest numbers (after 5 musically arid years), but is an excuse to review his personal and musical story. The narrative arc is as eclectic as a jazz solo, weaving back on itself. The story is somewhat chaotic, but the music is amazing.

Director: Don Cheadle

USA

Running time: 100 minutes.

Cert: 15

We say: This may seem like a weird caper movie (the sort that Davis might have liked to be in himself), but the man and his music transcend that. A soundtrack to die for!

Film at 8pm.

  The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -

  A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.

  Went to the Harvester a couple of times to have a beer in the garden, it was quite popular and had a 'certain' charm.

  I never went in The Grove when it was a pub, but I had a meal there once when it was a Harvester (I used to occasionally be a Mystery Shopper, and I was persuaded to go and have this meal because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to do it.) It was truly horrible. At least I got paid for eating it, albeit not very much, but I think I would have paid not to have to eat it. If it becomes an "affordable" restaurant again, I hope at least it has decent food. Why do "these youngsters" need "adult help" to be enterprising? They aren't six year olds!
