3rd December 2011

There's a lot just going on in the next few weeks, and I don't just mean my birthday (*cough*JurassicParkonBluray*cough*).

If you're struggling to fill these long, endless winter evenings, then I don't blame you: life just hasn't been the same since they cancelled The Bill. To combat this seasonal sadness, I have two suggestions for ruddy good nights out at the cinema, and - gosh darn it, would you believe it - they're both run by beloved friends of ours.
The Incredible Suit's Cumbersomely Titled Very Good Film And Quiz Night Presents The Original Footloose



"What's it about?" I hear you ask. Well, dear idiot reader: The Incredible Suit's Cumbersomely Titled Very Good Film And Quiz Night is a film and quiz night with a somewhat cumbersome title. As you've probably figured out by now, it comprises of a showing of Kevin Bacon's Footloose in unforgettable sizzlevision*, either side of which lie a vaguely-themed Footloose quiz and answer session. Yes, it's very much a Bacon sandwich.

According to Neil, who should know as he's running the show, prizes and stuff are on offer, and we've been personally promised a bevvy of Bacon puns. All of this and more means Thursday 8th December is pretty much sorted as far as evening entertainment goes. It's at the Stratford Picturehouse, which is great, not only because it has a Pizza Express downstairs, but because I live right near it. Also it's a lovely cinema.

Book your tickets here and prepare for a special guest appearance from Ali from TheShiznit.co.uk! (Special guest may or may not be in Pizza Express).
The Picturehouse Podcast Presents: Planes, Trains & Automobiles



But wait! Don't just go into hibernation until Christmas! The following week, there's yet another EPOCH-SHATTERING EVENT at the Stratford Picturehouse, this time organised by site mascots Sam and Simon of the Picturehouse Podcast. Did someone say Planes, Trains & Automobiles? Yes, it was me, just then. Pay attention!

With Santa already preparing to shoot his sack down your chimney, what better way to relent to Christmas's tender rogering than to relax in the company of John Hughes, Steve Martin and John Candy, arguably the three funniest men who have ever lived. Seriously, what else are you going to be doing on Thursday 15th December? Going to the first and only screening of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? What are you, a fucking loser or something? They're podcasting and everything!

Book your tickets here and prepare for a special guest appearance from Ali from TheShiznit.co.uk! (Special guest may or may not weigh 23 stone).
So, come along to both nights to watch some great films, have some laughs and hang out with cool cats and hot dogs. And hey, you can help support the Stratford Picturehouse while you're at it.

Why anyone would choose to watch a film at the Vue in Westfield over the road, I cannot fathom. Unless getting having your chair kicked and watching films in the company of chattering teenagers and possible sexual perverts is cool now, in which case, fuck these two events, I'll see you there.
