Picturehouse Cinemas is a network of cinemas in the United Kingdom owned by Cineworld.
"I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people" . . .
- David Bowie.
February 2 is Groundhog Day-the popular holiday midway between the winter solstice and spring equinox
Playing on Feb 4-The Hunger
Seen on my walk last night. I took my kids to see this when it first played.
Made me feel old for a minute then I realized hell, I am old. Better make each day count.
And the world is still "putting out fire with gasoline".

A look around Barnstaple Town Centre.
The afternoon walk around, looking at the old buildings.
Scott Cinemas - Boutport Street, Barnstaple.
1930s built cinema.
Open with 4 screens.
Built as a replacement for the Theatre Royal which was closed in February 1930 and demolished. It was a joint venture for Albany Ward (a division of Gaumont British Theatres Ltd.), Gaumont British and Provincial Cinematograph Theatres(PCT). The Gaumont Palace Theatre opened on 3rd August 1931 with Eddie Cantor in "Whoopee".
It was designed by Bristol based architect William Henry Watkins, assisted by Percy Bartlett. Located in a narrow street, the facade has two fluted pillasters on each side of a large central window. Two of these pillasters are topped with theatrical masks.
Inside the auditorium, seating was arranged for 702 in the stalls and 422 in the circle. There is a triple-cove rectangular proscenium which contained concealed lighting. Along the top of the proscenium is a decorative feature which has the initials ‘GP’. There is a rather ‘old fashioned’ style barrel ceiling and concealed lighting.
It was re-named Gaumont in 1937 and was re-named Odeon by the Rank Organisation from 21st October 1962. Taken over by Classic Cinemas Ltd. on 9th December 1967, it was re-named Classic Cinema.
They instigated a policy of part-week films and part-week bingo. Eventually the building was twinned with bingo operating full time downstairs in the former stalls and the Classic Cinema operating full time upstairs in the former circle. In 1982, it was taken over by an independent operator and re-named Astor Cinema with seating for 360 in the former circle. Eventually the bingo operation closed.
In the mid-1990’s it was taken over by the independent Scott Cinemas circuit and in around 2000, they created three screens in the former stalls area. Currently Screen 1 in the former circle seats 332, Screen’s 2 and 3 in the former rear stalls each have seating for 90 and Screen 4 in the former front stalls has 126 seats. There is a plan to add a fifth screen soon. The Central Cinema has a Licenced restaurant/bar in the circle foyer and is now fully air-conditioned.
The Central Cinema is a Grade II Listed building.
A small open air cinema in Bizerte, the second largest city on Tunisia's north coast.
Card was written on June 9th 1922, around the stamp is a printed postal service regulation from juli 1st 1920, so the postcard can't be much older.
I walk by Central Cinema regularly. Don't attend as much as in the past. reviewing last year's work
I don't recall which they showed.
I really liked Jackie Brown but mostly he's too violent for me .

All lives matter. The divisive violence and hatred in our country is hard to watch. It only serves the rich and powerful.
The Central Cinema was originally a showroom for the Blackstone Oil Engine Co. It was stripped out internally and was refitted as a cinema, opening on 20th August 1926 with “Flower of the Night”. The building was destroyed by a fire on 5th March 1937.
Famed London based cinema architect George Coles designed plans for a new Central Cinema on the site. It opened on 28th February 1938 with Henry Fonda in “Wings of the Morning”. Seating was provided for 600 in the stalls and 192 in the circle.
In later years it operated as a part-time bingo club, and screened its last films in January 1989. The building then stood unused.
Since 1994, this charming small town Art-Deco style cinema has been externally preserved, but internally split with a nightclub at upper levels and many small retail units on the ground floor.
