At the Dome to go to the Cineworld here (for probably the last time ever). At least Zootopia/Zootropolis was worth staying in the shade for a couple of hours for!

This cinemagoer, sitting across the aisle from me, may have been sent an important message - he left the auditorium soon after.

On the opening night of the London Film Festival striking workers from five Picturehouse cinemas stage a demo in Leicester Square, demanding a London Living Wage from the highly profitable cinema chain. Other cinemas pay this independently set wage rate. Supported by their union, Bectu, and by many high profile figures, including Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell the staff demands include maternity pay, sick pay and the reinstatement of Union reps who were sacked earlier this year.
The very loud and very visible demo was later joined by the Precarious Workers Mobile - a three-wheel car with sound system - which lead them on a merry tour of the West End, including some of the cinemas involved in the dispute.

I came to see Manchester by the Sea for the second time today. It's a powerful film which I didn't much like the first time I saw it. However, it bears watching again and one sees it with greater insight into the actions of the characters.
Despite very favourable critical reviews it is now only showing in the afternoon and was sparsely attended this time.
Three and a half stars - maybe four
Duration: 37 seconds
View of the flyovers / skyways / overpass's that are the access route to Brighton Marina. The marina is an entirely artificial harbour constructed beneath the chalk cliffs on the south coast of england. The roads emerge directly from tunnels in the cliff face. (The camera is located on top of the cliff.) In the distance is a multi-story car park and the Cineworld Cinema Complex. Illuminated blood orange red below is the ASDA Walmart car park.
In 2001 I saw a very frightened looking Japanese (and therefore fully earthquake trained) girl turning the corner from the entrance to the ASDA. When I got there, I found that the supermarket had been closed, because part of the cliff had collapsed onto it. The store quickly reopened, and the cliff has been reinforced.
The video is a "HDR" mashup. Two sequences were filmed, one with very reduced exposure so that the night time road lighting was captured without swamping the image. The reduced lighting image was then overlaid onto the normally exposed footage, with a travel matt being used to replace only the overlit light areas (including the moving lights of the vehicles). The travel matt was generated automatically - in this attempt the settings were badly affected by the varying levels of illumination - so there is some unintended flickering. (Adjacent in this photostream is a corrected version)
The ghostly effect was further enhanced by using three layers - from different time periods - with adjusted transparency and blending modes, so that all three layers can be seen at once.
Bus fans will be cheered by the sight of a No. 7 Brighton & Hove Bus company Double Decker bus right at the end of the clip.
I'm going to see an Indian film Lucifer set in Kerala.
When the star of the film, Mohanlal Viswanathan, appeared for the first time the audience cheered 😳
My first screening at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival was this evening, with The Farthest. A remarkable documentary about the magnificently successful Voyager probes. The film captured not only the science and incredible engineering (all created using mid 70s level of tech!) and the wonder of the discoveries made on this "grand tour" of the outer planets, it also took in the human aspect of it, the enthusiasm and optimism of those who took part, even now, forty years on.
And those probes, now long, long past the last planets of the solar system, are still sending back data. Voyager 1 has now crossed the point where the sun's vast magnetic field can be felt, which marks the boundary between our solar system and the vast gulfs on interstellar space. The first human-made object to ever travel beyond our solar system. On board each the famous "golden disc", an album with two hours of music from different eras and cultures (from Bach to Japanese folk music to Chuck Berry) and greetings in various languages, and sounds of the world, from whale song to waves. Just in case there is intelligent life out there and miraculously they ever come across it. Long after we've gone, perhaps even long after the Earth is gone in a few billion years, this will still be drifting through deep space, the last piece of human science and culture. Remarkable.
This is director Emer Reynolds and her editor Tony Cranstoun. Apologies for the poor quality, this is inside the cinema so the light was very low and I was too far back to use the flash.
It was easy really, all I had to do was spend about an hour and a half waiting in a queue to buy tickets for the Edinburgh Film Festival. Oh...and then spend a similar length of time waiting in a queue to actually get into the interview with Charlize Theron.
As a result, I managed to get a seat in the second row (the front row was reserved), with Ms. Theron sitting pretty much right in front of me . How I managed to actually concentrate enough to take pictures remanins a mystery. Ms. Theron came across very well in the interview. She was quite relaxed (as you can see here: Charlize: Angel), very natural, and utterly enchanting. Haste ye back, Charlize!

I'm going up in the lift to the second floor to see Fisherman's Friends, a film about a group of Cornish fishermen who sing sea shanties. It's good - well worth seeing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I prefer to go to the cinema in the evening as it doesn't seem right to come out into bright sunshine. However, I had to come at mid-day as the film is not being shown in the evening. I saw Hell or High Water last week and I wanted to see it again, something which I can do for nothing now that I've got a Cineworld Unlimited card. I do recommend the film.
Those people who only visit Cineworld may not realise that there is a second cinema in Bury St Edmunds.
Its food and drink is in a different league from the popcorn offered at its rival.
All the food is homemade I went for a portobello mushroom sandwich which is served hot with mozzarella red peppers sweet chilli dressing. V Good.
Coffee was good and hot and no skimpy sized cups.
Service was good offering help to move two tables together for our bigger party and explaining what certain ingredients were.
Very positive experience worth going even if you are not going upstairs afterwards to watch a film.
Only downside was the draught from the two doors opening to the high street but then again most cafes and restaurants have the same problem
The auditoria at Cineworld Crawley have also been refurbished.
I saw Café Society this evening - I have seen it twice. I think that this is the first time I have ever been to see a film in a cinema more than once. I enjoyed it more the second time. It is a bitter-sweet romance. I found it very moving.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell addresses the rally
Workers from four Picturehouse cinemas - Brixton's Ritzy & the Hackney, Central and Crouch End Picturehouses - stage a strike and rally in Leicester Square, London, as part of their campaign for fair conditions, union recognition and a London Living Wage. Despite widespread support from the public, high profile film and TV personalities, and the London Mayor, Picturehouse (and parent company Cineworld) are currently refusing to negotiate with the striking staff.
The rally was followed by a procession around the many cinemas in London's West End that are owned by Cineworld, and they were later joined in solidarity by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell outside the Empire, Leicester Square, itself recently purchased by Cineworld.

Facade of Cameo Cinema 2008
The Cameo is an Edinburgh cinema which started life as the King's Cinema on 8 January 1914 and is one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland still in use. Since becoming the Cameo in 1949, it has had a tradition of showing art house films. From 1949 onward it has been an important venue for the Edinburgh International Film Festival. It is at Tollcross, and since 1992 has been a three-screen cinema. The Cameo was an independent cinema until 2012, when it was bought by the Picturehouse chain, owned by Cineworld.
History
Behind a modern shopfront, much of the cinema's original architectural character remains. The entrance lobby has a terrazzo floor and one of the original pair of ticket kiosks. An inner foyer leads to the main cinema built within the 'back green' or 'back court' (courtyard) of a tenement block. Cinemas were once built like this elsewhere in Scotland, the biggest being the Rosevale in Partick, but the Cameo is the only one still operating.
The original screen was mirrored, the first mirrored screen in Scotland, and there were 673 seats in an auditorium showing silent films with orchestral accompaniment, supplied at one time by Madam Egger's Ladies' Costume Orchestra. In 1930 the cinema was fitted for sound and could start showing talkies. The space has been left largely unchanged structurally, but the audience now have better sightlines and more comfort with fewer than half the original number of seats. There is an abundance of ornamental plasterwork: columns, cornices, decorative mouldings on walls and ceilings.
The cinema, and the full tenement it is part of, was awarded Category B listed status by Historic Scotland in 2006.
Jim Poole
In 1949 the cinema was renamed the Cameo by the new owner, Jim Poole (1911–1998), a member of the Poole family who were known for their touring Myriorama shows and who ran cinemas in Scotland and England. He had been in charge of two of the family's cinemas in Aberdeen before the Second World War, and after a posting as army entertainments officer in the Middle East, wanted to open a venue in Edinburgh where he could show foreign films.
The Cameo included art house and 'continental' films in its repertoire and started its association with the Edinburgh Film Festival in 1949, when it presented a 'Continental Film Festival', including a screen version of Sartre's Les jeux sont faits, alongside the documentaries being shown by the Edinburgh Film Guild. Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953) and Annie Hall (1977) were among Poole's successes in attracting good audiences for films not being shown by the big chains.
Poole had begun by rescuing a decaying building with a leaky roof. Later he was able to take over an adjacent shop which, in December 1963, became the first licensed (to sell alcoholic drinks) cinema bar in the city, despite neighbours' objections. When Poole retired in 1982 the Cameo stayed shut until 1986.
After 1986
Once the Edinburgh Filmhouse had opened in 1979 a few hundred yards away, the Cameo was no longer the only public cinema in Edinburgh showing alternative and foreign-language films. After a new owner took possession in 1986 more neighbouring shops were acquired to create space for second and third screens which opened in the early 1990s. A 2005 renovation plan proposing to change the original auditorium into a bar-restaurant was withdrawn after a well-supported 'Save the Cameo' campaign influenced council decision-making. In September 2006 Historic Scotland upgraded the conservation status of the cinema to a B listing, thus protecting the interior from future alteration. The Cinema Theatre Association had campaigned for this after the owners, Picturehouse, put the Cameo up for sale. They have now taken it off the market, drawn up new refurbishment plans, and invited contributions from sponsors.
The first film shown at the Cameo, in March 1949, was La symphonie pastorale, a rare surviving print of which was shown again at the cinema in March 2009 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the building re-opening as the Cameo.
The Cinema was named as one of the 10 best Independent Cinemas in the Guardian in January 2010.
Famous visitors
Lillian Gish, Orson Welles, Melina Mercouri and Cary Grant all visited the cinema in one Festival season or another. Sean Connery, who was born nearby, opened the bar in 1963. More recently Quentin Tarantino was there when Pulp Fiction opened in 1994 and Irvine Welsh was at the Cameo for the World première of Trainspotting in February 1996.
Other famous visitors throughout the years include Danny Boyle, Richard E. Grant, Fred Zinnemann, Robert Carlyle, Michèle Morgan, Peter Mullan, Christine Lahti, Mark Kermode, Claire Denis, Rutger Hauer, Liam Gallagher, Patsy Kensit, Ewan McGregor, Tim Roth, Guy Ritchie, Ken Loach, Bruce Campbell, Billy Bragg, Park Chan-wook, Ray Winstone, Robyn Hitchcock, Neil Jordan, Roy Keane, Charlize Theron, Duncan Jones, Michael Redgrave, Jim Dale, Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, John Cusack, Tommy Wiseau and Danny Dyer.
In popular culture
The cinema appears in Sylvain Chomet's film The Illusionist. While hiding from the young couple, the main character, Tatischeff, accidentally enters the cinema, where Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle is playing. This is an in-joke as Tatischeff is largely based on Tati, the film itself having been adapted from a script of his.[6] Other films with scenes filmed inside the Cameo include Helena Bonham Carter's Woman Talking Dirty and Richard Jobson's A Woman in Winter.
