Our local cinema is generally considered a bit of a flea pit - it was once a theatre and still hosts theatrical productions. There was one on there tonight, as a result the bar was open and a more cheerful air pervaded the place. In winter it can be chilly and damp, but it's atmospheric, because it's on a cliff above the sea, so on a wild night it's quite fun.
Tonight we went to see The World's End - a Simon Pegg film with a cast of some of the usual suspects - and a great script. I don't always like these films, but for some reason, perhaps because we'd already had a nice drink with Clare at supper, I found it terrifically funny and laughed all the way through. I especially liked it when the mystical light was speaking to our hero at the end - and he said "Shut up you big lamp!" don't know why it made my laugh so much,.
What was extraordinary, on a Wednesday night in downtown Ramsgate was that the cinema was virtually full of people - wow! Perhaps it was the £4 tickets - or perhaps it's Orange Wednesdays. Or maybe the Granville is on the up. It seemed cleaner and brighter - perhaps they are having some ideas.
