I take back what I said about thoughtful process - agree with unlurked that lice is a big problem, and disappointed that there was no provision for anti-lice upholstery in the planning application.


Suspect they have also forgotten about a pedestrian barrier / cattle grid to ensure that offending patrons (e.g. old people and young children) emerging from the darkness of the cinema into the light of the street are prevented from causing unnecessary traffic disruptions.


I vote for Lord of the Flies.

Actually if you'd bothered to visit the presentation or view the photo of the proposed scheme posted above you'll see the pedestrian barriers which are already there will stay, probably for the exact reason you've stated.

Actually AF, I find it much easier to form opinions without the benefit of having seen the applications.

I leave it to more diligent citizens of the EDF to argue points of detail - I will stick to being outraged on principle.

It has started. . .

Years from now, as alien explorers pick through the wreckage of planet earth, someone will look back at the lost civilisation of Humans and rue the apparently innocuous trigger point for all the terrible horrors that were to follow... the Picturehouse Dulwich.

Dad, I dug another hole



Since James Barber was one of the prime movers in encouraging Picturehouse to come to ED, this is a pretty mean comment.


E-dealer, I suspect that you won't be voting Lib Dem this Spring (and indeed neither will I), but please try to keep politics out of this and be pleased that ED will probably be getting a much needed asset.

E-dealer, please tell me why James B would want to get the cinema project cancelled when, as I said, he is one of the people who encouraged Picturehouse to come to ED. Or is there some Machiavellian conspiracy afoot that is too difficult for us ordinary mortals to comprehend?


More to the point, why does at least one poster have to post negative messages on EDF when there is for once some potentially good news?

What evidence can you back this claim up with, as stated before they are clearly depicted on the artist impression of the completed development. For someone supposedly supportive of the project a statement such as yours is extremely negative and potentially harmful.

Tell 'im he's dreamin.


:-)

Someone mentioned the pedestrian barriers outside the cinema. I reference the existing barriers on the PUBLIC FOOTPATH are probably going to be removed.


The proposed fencing spelling out Dulwich Picturehouse is part of the proposed cinema. I;d prefer them to East Dulwich Picturehouse but either way they look a nice touch on the drawings exhibited on Saturday.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
