I'd like to own and run an independent cinema
Showing horror triple bills from midnight on Halloween, cheesy 80s action films, quiz nights, fancy dress nights, drinking game nights, a Bill Paxton marathon, silent films with contemporary musical accompaniment, foreign films with 'pick your own font', mystery film night and stuff like that.

I'd imagine it wouldn't last a year before going bust but I'd enjoy it.

Silent films
I went to a silent film at the corner house in manchester that had live contemporary music accompanying it. It was very good.

Something in Manchester worth going to when you're not pissed?
I don't believe you.

Yep
One of a very few number of things.

The Corner House
Is actually quite good, they have a fair few decent films on that don't get shown in the bigger places

I lived in Manchester for over 10 years and never went there.

Should maybe make it the start of a full day bash?

I'd love a cinema like that.

me too.
If bill clay did indeed set up such a venture, I would take you.

Can we have salted popcorn and sit at the back.
I never sit at the back because I'm always with my nephew when I go to the cinema and that would be wrong.

totally.
I would do that thing where I pretend to yawn and put my arm round you and squeeze one of your boobs.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:54, Reply)

And I would pretend I hadn't noticed.
