The Kintyre Forum

Recently we were in Glasgow and decided to go to the cinema in renfrew street (the one with six floors and sixteen screens). Yes it was a delight to go to a large cinema but I ended up disappointed and missed our 'wee' cinema in the toon.

I felt like I was sitting in a box, with a big screen at one end. People persistantly got up and walked in front of the screen. The person behind us spent the whole time on their mobile phone . Considering how much it cost (£16.50 for two adults and a child and £6.10 for a medium bag of popcorn) why spend the time chatting to someone and not watching the movie? As for the seating, it was so uncomfortable.

So I say congratulations to those at the wee toon picture house who make our visit a welcoming event. We may grumble about the lack of variety and lack of seats (as with mamma mia) but it outshines anything you get in Glasgow. At least they say hello to you in Campbeltown. Keep up the good work

Totally agree with Knock. There is something magical about our wee picture house!
You go to modern cinemas and its just not the same!

One of my first memories is coming out of the picture house after watching the matinee showing of ET!

Dont watch many films at home as generally dont get the peace and get interupted by something else. So its bliss to go and watch a film the way its meant to be on the big screen
