ED Picturehouse - When will it open?

[DulwichFox]

Last time I went to the Cinema was in 1978..

The Deer Hunter and Midnight Express.

Hasn't been any films out since then I have had any desire to see.

Yup Nice one Foxy. Paul Gascoigne is famously proud he's never read a book.

I have a soft spot for the Odeon. Don't sit me next to someone munching food though, big mistake.

Don't go over reaching yourself there Louisa

How do you propose to "dress as a Yummy Mummy" I wonder ?

I'll be first in the queue

Or buy you a drink in Jan

Two in five Britons never read a book so he is not alone.

I've read many books in the past but simply do not have the time these days.

With digital cine-photography I'm don't know if they still dim the lights.

But as soon as they do, I'm fast asleep within 5-10 mins.

Same if I try and watch a film at home.

Latest news is the begining of March.

At least we wont have to wait as long as West Norwood whose Picturehouse will open 2017.

This is the latest Facebook item re the Picturehouse:

why pay to be depressed? that's my view on modern films.

[hosky]

does anyone by chance know what happens to our opening membership?! it would be a reasonable upside if this was extended to run from a year when it opens.

[Sazzle30]

I was told when I purchased the founder membership that 12 months will start from when the cinema opens but in the meantime the membership is valid at other picture houses

[Reg Smeeton]

I hope I'm wrong, but peeking through the hoardings I can't see this place opening until April at the earliest. Anybody got any updates?

[Landy10]

I was at the ritzy buying membership the other day and when the lady who served me said official opening is in March (she did tell me the date but I've forgotten it).

[hosky]

The Picturehouse did tell us the membership runs for 12 months from when it opens.

You didn't enjoy Paddington then?

[Landy10]

I will next time I'm at the Ritzy but i don't tend to pop over to brixton every day!

Just had an email from them stating it will open on Friday 20 March.

[Penguin68]

ED Picturehouse have just posted the following on FB

Wonderful people of East Dulwich!

You may have noticed that progress on the building work has been slower than expected. But we have all been working as hard as we can, and we are now pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors on ? drumroll please ? Friday 20 March. We promise it will be worth the wait!

More news soon...

[Zebedee Tring]

I have signed up for Picturehouse membership. However, I don't very much like being patronised by Picturehouse on Facebook as one of the "Wonderful people of East Dulwich".

[Jeremy]

I've been called worse things...

[Zebedee Tring]

So have I. But I don't like being patronised - nor indeed spoken to as if I was a small child. By way of example the previous FB item on the Picturehouse blamed the building work delay on Santa! I haven't believed in Santa since about 1957.

It's social media. Social media marketing is done by people under the age of 25. They believe that everyone else in the world is under the age of 25 too ? except for their parents and a few dribbling old people who watch "Countryfile". Even my bank talks like an excitable teenager on Facebook.

"ED Picturehouse have just posted the following on FB

Err. No surprise . You posted a wildly optimistic opening schedule and some of us said so. There was never a change of a 2014 opening. Why pretend otherwise.

[worldwiser]

Why be so mean about it? You think they duped us all into joining by telling us it would open a mere 3 months earlier than they knew it would? What a pointless conspiracy! The building is old and being converted to a use never before imagined - I'm happy to accept they encountered unforseen obstacles and take the delay in good faith. Anyway, it's their cinema, not yours. Let them open it whenever they want. When it does, we'll go. What's the problem?

[Bluelagoon]

What he said, and I'm totally guilty of referring to my social media followers (I run a small biz) as 'lovely people' or whatever. It's better than 'utter w**kers of East Dulwich', although on reflection perhaps that would be more appropriate
