QUOTE (Gumbo @ Jun 23 2009, 02:01 PM) I know what you are saying, looking at the state of the place now it is hard to see how they can finish it by November (anybody involved the project feel free to set us straight). I can't wait though, love going to the cinema but certainly don't go as much as i'd like because of the travelling. I agree... I also have been waiting for the DVD's to come out before seeing the film. But will be looking forward to it. I wanted to see the Watchmaker, Star Trek and Wolverine... now I'll have to wait until they are out on DVD.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jun 23 2009, 02:10 PM) Is it the case that the Parking for this Cinema is going to be underground? If so, I hope that the area is well lit and patrolled by Cinema staff as it will beome a mecca for alcoholics, thieves and drug users otherwise. If we do have such problems then it will put people of going.

One problem scenario I can see happening regularly on a Friday/Saturday night is sober people coming out of the cinema around 11ish to be greeted by the drunks either heading to liquid or hanging around Montys and Chicagos.

Exactly my thoughts Gumbo. I can just see the scene now. You have had a pleasant soberish evening with you girlfriend / wife and come out to be greeted by drunken yobbos that have been refused entry to Liquid and after you have managed to circumnavigate them without getting 'involved' you then have to run the risk of a dimly lit car park full of druggies. But then again - Perhaps my glass is half empty when it should be half full?

Can you imagine the chaos of drunks and druggies trying to get in the cinema after leaving liquid or where ever else they came from??? I can see this being a real problem, so security may be in need for the place!

Come on people be positive.
Newbury at night is no worse and quite possibly better than other, larger nearby towns.
Personally I have been mostly using the cinema at Didcot recently. Only 20 or so minutes away and right next to Sainsburys so parking is not a problem.
Bring it on, it's been over 10 years since we've had a purpose built cinema, which is dreadful given the population of the catchment area.
Let's hope it is sensibly priced too and maybe they could show older films too as well as the new releases. Cult classics, all time greats, music films that sort of thing.

Agree with you entirely Bill on the need for a Cinema. I am certain they are building it in the wrong location though. Wait and see.

Don't get me wrong Bill1 I want the cinema and am really looking forward to it but I also know Newbury on a Friday night and at times it isn't a pretty place. Like Andrea I haven't seen the plans so maybe this wont be a problem but we'll see. In Reading and Basingstoke both areas are well lit and you don't really have to walk past loads of drunks to get to your cars, hopefully Newbury will be the same.

I thought the multi-storey was to remain open late to accommodate the parking?
