yes it was nice - I should have gone more than I did really . shame that while it was open what is now , as you say , the rather nice picture house bar , was the unmitigated sh*thole that was the dog & duck . can't have everything I guess :) that is very poor of the odeon to be so dog-in-the-manger about it . corporate tossbags .

err...the 'willies' ??

Siiighh. You see? Thats why i want to bring back the Whiteladies Odeon. Frankly the thought of going to the Odeon in the centre just gives me the willies. Who could possibly want to go to Broadmead unless they had to?

An almost sensuous experience.
The Duke of Yorks in Brighton had
some dodgy broken seats, and one whole row that everyone avoided which was wobbly. They sold lush dark choccy cake and strong coffee in the foyer, to keep you awake through the small hours of the late-night double programme. We used to smoke prerolled little numbers up on the rear balcony too, but they soon put a stop to that!

ps. I also miss the little brass cuplets that you used to stub your fag out in or stuff your chewing gum in before ravaging a huge tub of popcorn!

the thing about the whitladies odeon was that it was so close and handy to a) where you lived and b) to a decent pub / bar to have a drink / chat before and after the show without having to contend with hordes of people after the show either in the centre of town or at some out of town faceless edifice. I was lucky to have arrived in Bristol for a couple of years before it shut down and loved going. It was almost a nostalgic experience as you entered the smelly run down badly decorated flea pit with last years popcorn still stuck between the seats and the carpet - OOOOH I miss it too! - Bring back the Odeon!

The Watershed is an arts cinema as is The Cube (which anyway doesn't show films that often anymore)
The Orpheus sucks. It's tiny, it has no a/c, the only drinks you can buy are Virgin Cola. It also tends to show second run stuff.

Somtimes I want a cinema which shows mainstream ish stuff, thats within walking distance. The Watershed and The Cube are great, but i don't always wnat to see subtitles Croatian cinema. Sometimes I want Jaws VI.

what about the Watershed or the Cube or the Orpheus?
They're all within walking distance of your place!
