Guest Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Rye Lane is ripe for a Brixton Village-style initiative. There are a few interesting bars and restaurants but they're more spread out so there's nothing that feels like a centre to it at the moment once the shops close.

firekat2 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Where abouts in ED? I remember the old cinema and it was missed when it closed down. I would love to have a cinema in ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Girl Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 YES!! Christ lets have a bit of culture and fun! What's wrong with giving it a shot. I hate Peckham Plex. I went once and my feet stuck to the floor and had to come home and wash myself and my clothes quickly as the 'seating' was grim. It'd be a great place to meet people after work and still get an early night. And we'd be giving our bottoms a break, since they loose all sensation due to numbness from the 37 bus route.

Ladysaw Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 just moved into the neighbourhood a couple of months ago and told my hubby last night that the ONLY thing missing in the area is a cinema. NOT an odeon or Vue but a small independent picture house with like 3-4 screens :)but please, make the popcorn affordable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Cheap popcorn. Cheap tickets. Art-house films, foreign film, kids films, family films, classics, as well as the usual big releases. Showings at 7:30pm (none of this two-screenings-a-night nonsense). Big, comfortable seats. Immaculate housekeeping. A location in central East Dulwich.Sounds great for everyone, except for the poor bastard who's investing his cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckerina Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A Picturehouse, EveryMan or Curzon would be readily welcomed in ED - I'd go! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Smeeton Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just to flag that in a separate thread, the cinema-sized Thomas More Hall on Lordship Lane is asking for suggestions for how the venue might be used in future. Hmm, let me think, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraferJack Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Because a kibbutz set on a farm in Israel has very little in commmon with the market-priced property in central SE22 for a startBecause deciding which films to book/show would be a nightmare with such a large deciding bodyBecause you wouldn't get the number of people to commit time and money in the first placethe team behind East Dulwich Paradiso cinema club could tell you a few things about what people say the want/will do and then what they actually will doI know I sound negative, and I would REALLY love a cinema close to my house, but it's completely unrealistic for the reasons people have stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleurdelys Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm more than happy to help with the cinema organisation, picking the programme etc. I'm a film critic so I have some knowledge of the films and I'm sure I would be able to find something for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennyw Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The Odeon, used to go every Saturday morning from 1952 no dvd's or even much TV in thoses days,when I was in the UK in 1984 it was sad to see it had gone. Ther are a few of us around that still remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurlaur Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That would be fantastic. I've been trying to persuade some friends to start one for years. Apparently there used to be 2 in ED. We use the Ritzy frequently but never the Peckham Odeon/Vue? With kids getting to an age where they can go off on there own it would be great for them as well as for adults.

castleofillusion Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That sounds great, would mesh well with the numerous bars and restaurants...just make sure there's some Studio Ghibli and I'm there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngridB Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 There IS a cinema in East Dulwich, or at any rate a monthly film club upstairs at the EDT. Its called The Bigger Picture http://www.thebiggerpic.co.uk/ and there is a bar, themed EDT snacks, often a speaker and live music before the film. Great atmosphere. The next film they are showing is 'Basquiat' this coming Thursday 20th Its about the 1980s New York street artist who became the prodigy of Andy Warhol (played by David Bowie). The London street artist Stik (who has decorated some ED walls) will be there to talk about street art today. The other films planned until Christmas are on their website. http://www.thebiggerpic.co.uk/ They are just deciding which films to show next year, all suggestions welcome, and help with running the film club welcome too!

Annie07 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi The Bigger Picture Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern has been running a few months now. They show independent interesting films in the comfort of dark sofas good food and the bar upstairs opened specially for the film night. They sometimes get the film directors to come and speak. Its much cheaper than the Ritzy, big screen and good atmosphere.They are looking for ideas for films and are open to suggestions. All profit after paying for copyright in films goes to local charities. With more help they could show more films more often....see www.thebiggerpic.co.ukIts a start for ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
