Re: LaLa Land ED Film Club: A social meetup for locals: Sat 14th Jan 2017


Recommended Posts

Thanks to everyone who came along yesterday - so lovely to meet so many local people! I know it can be a bit weird turning up for the first time, so thanks for making the effort!

Hope you didn't have nightmares after that film!

I'll post the next date soon!

Luisa

Thanks again for organising this meet up Louisa! It was a great night and lovely company. Really nice meeting local people and having a good chat. I really enjoyed the movie as well. Will definitely watch the other films in the series if/when they make them.


See You All soon.

Hi Luisa


Thanks for organising. I didn't catch the name of the guy that handed out the Peckham & Nunhead Free Film Festival flyer (?), but was a great idea. I thought I'd try and see the second half of Nebraska (without falling drifting off this time).


It looks like Bambini is a small cafe/bar with Craft beers and cheeses, so not a Peckham Plex... Address is 143 Evelina Rd, SEI5 3HB, just 10 min walk from the Rye Pub:


Nebraska was nominated for 6 Oscars, described as "An aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize" imdb

Hi All,

Next film club will be Sat 25th Oct.

We are a friendly bunch of locals who meet at the Rye Pub and go to the Plex for a film and then back to the pub for drinks.

Fun, sociable evening out with familiar faces and always newbies!

I will post exact times nearer the date when the peckham plex publish their listings, but in the meantime, save the date!!

Any questions please PM me.

Hi Everyone,


The film with the best reviews on Saturday appears to be Fury, starring Brad Pitt.

I'll put some blurb about it below. The film begins at 20:45 - up to you if you buy your ticket in advance.

Let's meet in the Rye Pub from 19:15, leaving at 20:15 for the cinema. I'll have my film clacker board with me and also post where we are sitting on here.

Hope to see you there! Luisa



April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany

Hi All,


Chrissy & I will meet you at the Rye Pub @ 7:15, but we'll probably watch Gone Girl (8:30pm) instead of Fury ... we're not really big on war films, even though Fury looks very good.


We'll meet-up with you all after the movie ends :-)


Lenny

Hi Louisa,

Sorry but my hubby and I won't be able to make it tonight. We had hoped to get much of our unpacking done today but it is taking us longer than we expected to unpack, find places for everything and organize so we have some room to move around our small flat. I hope we will be able to join you and the filmclub members at the next film event. Have fun tonight!

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
