was leafing through a copy of the rough guide to cult films i picked up in a charity shop earlier today, its like one of those dime a dozen books written by some snarky opinionated film buff reccomending films he likes amd trashing ones he thinks suck with a vague pretence at objectivity amd ngl i think this is how all film discussion should be handled,online film discourse has gotten way too letterboxdified and now the prince charles inema basically only does reruns of the first quarter of the letterboxd top 250 narrative films list.

everyones got way too far up their own asses about this shit, we need to retvrn to the video store spiritually and get a beer, go on tubi and watch some dumb italian bullshit where a load of guys get shot and lose a bathtub of blood each and the title sounds like the name of the average 14 year olds first doom wad

This is all true but I think the Prince Charles is also going that route at the moment for profit consolidation in the face of the possibility their lease gets revoked and turned into flats. They're trying to prove to the 'line go up' crowd that they're deserve their spot in the million dollar tourist zone.

Have you tried The Nickel yet? Lot of good old stuff like you're talking about goes through there.

as of almost a year ago iirc the PCC was classified as a protected building so it can't be demolished, at this point this is just the new norm for them to keep the new audience they've drawn in from all the publicity they got from the campaign + now being a registered "asset of community value", but yeah ill check out the nickel, thanks for the recommendation
