Signed and shared. It’s an amazing cinema and one of my favourite places in London. There’s nothing these fuckers wont redevelop if they get the chance

Also one of my favourite places in London. Better not close.  
Seen so many classics there, 35mm originals, great selection, really good German beers

They banned skate premieres there and i can’t blame them

I’ve always enjoyed going there ever since managing to get to the Menikmati premiere all those years ago. I’ve also seen some classics for the first time on a big screen too such as Aliens.

One day I will do one of their Lord of the Rings marathons, it might require a ludicrous amount of caffeine though.

I’ve there a couple of times, with you I think, but I don’t remember a single thing about it or what it was even for. What did you do to me?

I also only ever went there for a couple of skate prems, Live From Antarctica and another one I can’t remember (maybe First Broadcast? Not sure)  
Edit: I think it must have been First Broadcast because I remember someone yelling “YEAHHH BOOT CUT!” when Olly Todd came on

I still have this beer token, might go and demand a Peroni

I remember desperately glugging cans and puffing on a pipe in the queue for fully flared (i think) and a mum turned round in front of me with her kids. Oops. I think i fell asleep half way through which was also pretty stupid. Glad i don’t feel the need to get drunk anymore
